6.
Cut and attach another horizontal
beam of the same size just above
the door frame beam, so there is a
1½" gap between the two. This will
be used for additional support and
for mounting the optional sliding
door track.
7.
Install two horizontal beams on
either side of the door frame so they
are in-line with the last horizontal
stud you placed (see figure 3). This
is especially important if you are
installing the track for the #6792
Sliding Door Kit.
Secure them to the
door frame using 1½" angle brackets
on both the top and the bottom of
the horizontal beam plus 1" Tek
screws; then secure them to the end
wall bow as you did with the vertical
beams using end wall brackets,
brace bands, 1½" carriage bolts, and
hex nuts.
Note: You will first need to measure the distance from the door
frame to the bow, before cutting each horizontal beam to fit.
8.
Install another set of horizontal beams approximately halfway up
the door frame, and another towards the bottom (see figure 3).
Each bottom horizontal stud must be attached to the end wall bow
using a 1½" angle bracket and 1" Tek screws (see figure 4). Level
each horizontal beam before securing in place.
Note: If you are installing the #6792 Sliding Door Kit, be sure to
install the middle horizontal beam at a comfortable handle height.
The Z-catch for the sliding door is installed on the middle horizontal
beam to catch the lever handle from the sliding door, securing it in the closed position.
