Installing The EZ-SET
®
Torsion Spring System
Step 1
Attach the bracket to the ag bracket and the
horizontal angle with a
3
/8"-16 x
3
/4" carriage bolt
and
3
/8" ange nut. (FIG. 1, VIEW A) Be sure to
orient the carriage bolt and ange nut as shown in
Figure 1, Views A and B. Remove and reattach the
existing
3
/8"-16 carriage bolt as required. The bracket
should be up against the jamb and the ag bracket.
If your door is 2" thick the carriage bolt should be
fastened through the slot in the ag bracket furthest
from the jamb. If your door is 1
3
/8" thick the carriage
bolt should be fastened in the slot closest to the
jamb. If you have double track low headroom, see
Figure 2 for carriage bolt mounting locations. Do
this for both the left and right sides.
NOTE: Before installing
5
/16" lag screws, it is
important to drill
3
/16" pilot holes where the lag
screws are to be attached.
Use two
5
/16" x 1
5
/8" lag screws to connect the brack-
ets securely to the jamb or the header.
(FIG. 1, VIEW B) Install the lag screws in the
slots closest to the ag bracket if possible.
Before proceeding to Step 2, make sure the
carriage bolt(s) and the lag screws are fastened
securely and the bracket is seated against the
jamb and the ag bracket. Do this for both the left
and right sides. Solid attachment is critical since
these brackets will be under strong spring tension.
NOTE: If your torsion tube is one full-length
piece skip to Step 3.
