CENTER LINE
OF J-STRUT
LOCATION

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.

Bottom Bracket Installation
Locate the bottom bracket assembly and align it to the
bottom of the post. Secure the bottom bracket to the
bottom of the windload post using (4) 1/4-20 x 11/16”
self-drilling screws. (see Fig. 3)
NOTE: The bottom of the windload post is flush while
the top is offset.

Securing Post for Storage
Locate a convenient place to store the windload post(s).
Measure and cut (2) 2 x 6” wood mounting blocks a
minimum of 10” long for each windload post. Locate
the mounting blocks horizontally on the wall as shown
in Fig. 13. Secure them adequately to the wall at the top
and bottom of the post storage location, with masonry
anchors (concrete or const.), or 12-16 penny nails (wood
const.). Measure a minimum of 6” above door as
illustrated, and mount the extra header lock bracket(s)
to the top mounting block(s) using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8”
lag screws as shown in Fig. 13.
(2) 5/16” X 1-1/2”
LAG SCREWS

Measure the distance from the top of the windload post
to the center of the bottom strap (see Fig. 14). Use that
measurement for the displacement between the center
of the extra header lock bracket and half-hinge tube.
Position the half-hinge on the bottom mounting block
and secure the half-hinge using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag
screws. Repeat this step for remaining windload posts
if necessary. (see Fig. 13)
Slide the windload post(s) into storage header bracket(s)
and secure the bottom strap(s) to the half hinge(s) using
the wing nut and carriage bolt. Place all remaining wing
nuts and carriage bolts into the remaining straps for
storage. Insert plastic plug into hole in floor.

Rebalance The Door
Now that the windload post is NOT installed onto the door,
check the door’s balance, by manually opening and
closing the door. The door may be heavy because of the
extra hardware added. To accommodate the extra weight,
tension must be added to the counterbalance springs.
See chart for adding spring tension.
NOTE: Refer to the garage door’s main installation
instructions and owner’s manual for instructions on
adding/removing spring tension.
