Mark a vertical line on the header, aligned with the center of the J-struts. Measure up 2” above the top of the door and mark a horizontal line. Center the header lock bracket with the vertical line and align the bottom of the header lock bracket with the horizontal line.

Secure the header lock bracket to the header using (4) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws. (see Fig. 2)

IMPORTANT! IF THERE IS DRYWALL OR OTHER MATERIALS COVERING THE HEADER IT IS REQUIRED THAT SUCH MATERIALS BE REMOVED FROM THE HEADER LOCK BRACKET LOCATION(S) AND REPLACED WITH THE SAME THICKNESS OF WOOD BEFORE INSTALLING THE HEADER LOCK BRACKET(S). IF THIS PROCESS MUST BE DONE, THE LENGTH OF THE LAG SCREWS MUST BE INCREASED TO INCLUDE THE THICKNESS OF WOOD MATERIALS SO THAT A MINIMUM OF 1-1/2” PENETRATION INTO THE EXISTING HEADER IS OBTAINED.
