STEP 3 INSTALLING MOUNTING ANGLES AND GUIDES
Obtain the appropriate Bolt Line (BL) measurement from the chart below. Use Opening Width listed on packing slip. Any variation between the actual opening width and the width listed on the packing slip is to be ignored.
OPENING WIDTH | BL | BL | ANGLE FACE TO ANGLE FACE |
| (STEEL) | (MASONRY) |
|
UP TO 10’ WIDE | OPENING WIDTH + | ||
OVER 10’ WIDE | OPENING WIDTH + |
IMPORTANT!
Use BL measurement to locate wall mounting angle for one jamb only. Second angle will be located using Angle Face to Angle Face measurement.
Using the BL measurement, loosely clamp the right hand wall angle to the right hand jamb. Position the wall angle such that the BL measurement falls near the center of the slots. Adjust the wall angle so that it is level and tighten the clamp. Install wall angle fasteners in the centers of the top and bottom slots only and tighten.
Select the appropriate Angle Face to Angle Face equation from the chart above. Add the opening width listed on the packing slip to obtain the Angle Face to Angle Face measurement. Use
this measurement to locate the left hand
wall angle on the left hand jamb and clamp in place. Install the top and bottom bolts in the wall angle. Verify that both wall angles are level and double check the angle to angle measurement at the top, middle, and bottom to ensure that the wall angles are properly located. Using a string and a level, ensure that the mounting angles are parallel to each other, shimming if necessary, to achieve both vertical and horizontal leveling. Now install the remaining bolts in both wall angles.
IMPORTANT!
IMPORTANT!
Angle Face to Angle Face measurement must be held to ensure proper door operation and resistance to windload.
Use of any other fasteners than those provided must be approved by manufacturer or building authority and cannot be of lesser diameter or grade.
Align the guide slots with the slots in the wall angles and fasten guides with the interior windlock return towards the door jamb using the
