Step 1: Rail Installation (figure 1 & 2)
Note: DO NOT mount rail spacers directly onto drywall, even if there is solid wood behind.
The rail spacers will eventually crush the drywall, potentially causing the rail system to fail.
MOUNT RAIL SPACERS DIRECTLY INTO A SOLID WOOD HEADER
1. Location of center of the rail = Height of the door + 1⅞” (figure 1)
(this will leave approximately ⅜” gap between the floor and the bottom of the door)
2. Using a good quality level, lightly score a level pencil line on the headerboard where the
center of the rail spacers will be fastened into (figure 2) .
3. Mark on the line where the rail spacers are to be located and predrill the fastener holes
in the header board using a ⁄” drill bit.
4. Mount the rail using the supplied lag screws, washers, and rail spacers (you will need a
13mm open end wrench or 13mm socket for this).
