Push Header
The Header Box on push installations is mounted flush to the bottom of the doorjamb header. It may require solid backing
material to compensate for the thickness of the door frame. Before fastening header box to the door frame, ensure that
your access holes for high and low voltage wires match. Header box should be mounted to the hinge side of the door.
For most applications, the header is equal to door opening plus 3”. This allows for a 1½” space on either side of the
Header Box to anchor the header box properly to the frame. The header box should be anchored with a minimum of
(6) Six, #14 x 1” Pan Quad Type A screws (provided.)
• The locations of the screws on the header will be application dependent.
• Fasten the header body as application requires. The header must support 200lbs.
• Do Not use Drywall Screws or Hollow Wall Anchors to mount the Back Plate / Header.
• Header MUST be installed 1.5 inches from hinge side for all Push/ Pull installation, regardless of
whether header is sized appropriately to door opening.
• For Push application with standard arm, the reveal is up to 14”. For greater reveal, extended arm is
needed.
