T-POST INSTALLATION
1.
T-POSTS
•
T-Posts are used as a divider to hinge single or bi-fold panels when openings are
too wide to hinge panels from the side. T-Posts can be placed directly in front of
any existing window mullion.
2.
IF MOUNTING DIRECTLY TO THE WINDOW MULLIONS
•
Drill 10mm holes through the first layer of polyresin at the front face of the T-Post.
Start approximately 50mm from the top and drill hole approximately every 300mm.
•
Secure the T-Post by screwing in the top and bottom holes.
•
Hang panels to the T-Post or hang panels side-by-side against T-Post to ensure eve
sight lines and all is level.
•
Screw in the remainder of the holes.
•
Cap with button plugs.
3.
IF MOUNTING USING L-BRACKETS
•
Attach 4 L-Brackets to each T-Post. Use the stop (round) hole at the top left and
bottom right, and the Slot (oval) hole top right and bottom left. Ensure that
brackets are placed at the back side of the T-Post so that the bracket screw goes
through the screw post in the T-Post. The stop hole is positioned at the top left and
bottom right side.
•
Screw top right and bottom left brackets (slotted holes) to the frame, centre the
screws in the middle of each slot. This will allow some movement for levelling
purposes.
•
Hang panels and adjust T-Post positioning until sight lines and levelling is achieved.
•
Lock T-Post into position by setting screws through the stop holes in the other two L-
Brackets.
4.
IF MOUNTING USING ALIGNMENT BLOCKS
•
Stack two T Post Alignment Blocks.
•
Position on the frame so that the holes in the blocks are lined up with the pre-drilled
holes in the bottom frame.
•
Using #6 x 44mm screws, attach the blocks to the frame.
•
Repeat for the top frame.
•
Assemble frame.
•
After the frame is installed and the position of the T Post is determined, set a #8 x
38mm installation screw horizontally through the pre-drilled hole in the side of the T
Post at the bottom.
•
Repeat the above step and cover holes with button plugs.
