4.1.2. Brackets installation wall and soffit
Using the supplied brackets (see figure 3), position the bottom of each bracket 1 1/4" above the
bottom of the casing while understanding that the casing has a 5’’ height when installed on the
wall. Trace an horizontal chalk line at this height. Make sure that the chalk line is level and also
validate that the frame of your window or door is perfectly parallel to your chalk line,
otherwise, you may need to make a small adjustment to your chalk line. Trace the ends of this
line to make sure the casing will be centered on your window or door.
Now, you must position each bracket to insure maximum support. Position each bracket between
6” and 12” from each extremity of the casing. For casings wider than 6’, you will need to position
a third bracket approximately in the center of your chalk line. Position each bracket with the
two holes on top (if you are installing under the eaves, choose the side that is easier for you)
and trace the location of each hole (see figure 4).
FOR WALL INSTALLATION, THE SCREW MUST FACE DOWN, BUT FOR SOFFIT INSTALLATION, THE
SCREW MUST FACE BACK.
Use a 3/32" drill bit to drill the holes through your siding and one inch deep into the header
board.
Using a Philips screwdriver, install your brackets with the #8 X 1 3/4" wood screws. While
tightening the screws with your brackets, maintain them level (use a level). Do not over tighten
the wood screws before adjusting the level since you may need to do some readjustments.
