Strap Bracket Installation

Loosely attach (2) straps to each strap bracket using (1) carriage bolt and wing nut (see Fig. 8). Position the strap bracket assembly at each J-strut location and wrap the straps around the windload post.

Ensure that the windload post is plumb while locked into the header lock bracket and hole in floor. Secure strap bracket assemblies to the J-struts using (2) 1/4-20 x7/8” self-drilling screws (see Fig. 9).

Now, secure each strap to the windload post using (1) 1/4-20 x 11/16” self-drilling screw. NOTE: Keep straps parallel and level. (see Fig. 10)

Finish hand tightening the carriage bolts and wing nuts.

NOTE: Doors without a 3” U-bar on the top section will require an extra J-strut and strap bracket (strap bracket without straps) on the top rib of the top section. (see Fig. 11)
