Signature Pivot Door
Curb To Header Installation Instructions
The top of the header must be accurately positioned at the overall
unit height and on the vertical center-line of the glass at
each wall. The header is fastened to each wall with a header
wall mount bracket that is secured to the wall with 2" long
screws put in the wall at a 30° angle downward. To accurately
locate the bracket, a trial header set up must be made.
To Install Using Glazing Channels
- Using previously laid out vertical and horizontal centerlines,
install the fixed panel glazing channel.
- Cut the vertical glazing channel 9/16" shorter than
the overall unit height for 3/8" glass or 1 1/4" shorter
for 1/2" glass
- Cut the header to the proper length.
- Slide the header wall mount brackets into the header
and lock them in place flush with the ends of the header.
Check that the top of the header is at the overall unit
height.
- Transfer the location of the 30° sloping hole to the
wall and drill a hole for a #10 x 2" long screw using the
wall bracket as drill jig. Depending on the composition
of the wall and backing, the installer must determine whether
the 2" screws will secure to a stud or require a screw anchor.
To Install Using Brackets
- If the panel installation uses brackets rather than
glazing channels, the brackets and panel glass should be
installed first.
- For 3/8" Glass: Temporarily place the header on the
panel using two 1" long pieces of the vinyl glazing bead
per panel. For 1/2" Glass: Temporarily place the header
on the panel using two 1/16" thick setting blocks.
- Check that the overall unit height is correct and drill
the 30° sloping holes in the walls as described in the previous
Curb to Wall Block Section.
- Remove the header and put full-length pieces of vinyl
on top of the panel glass.
- Place the stick-on drill template provided to assure
the mounting holes for the pivot header block are drilled
in the proper location on the center-line of the header.
- Drill the 7/32" holes for the #10-32 mounting screws.
- Drill a 3/32" plumb bob line hole.
- Install the header on the glass panels and fasten it
securely to the walls.
- Secure the pivot header block in place using the #10-32
screws and washers provided.
- Thread the plumb bob line through the 3/32" hole in
the header and use the plumb bob to locate and check that
the base plate drill template is properly positioned on
the curb.
- Install the pivot base plate and then the door assembly
as described in the General Installation section.
