STEP 3 INSTALLING MOUNTING ANGLES, GUIDES, AND BOTTOM BAR STOPS
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

ANGLE FACE TO ANGLE FACE
UP TO 10’ WIDE 1-9/16” 4-15/16” OPENING WIDTH + 6-11/16”
OVER 10’ WIDE 1-7/16” 4-7/8” OPENING WIDTH + 6-7/16”
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.

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
