4. Cutting hat channel girts around side wall walk door:
You can use a hack saw to cut the hat channel, but it will be easier if you use an abrasive disk or metal cutting blade in a
circular or miter saw to make the cuts. Remember to wear your eye protection and with power saws ear protection is
recommended.
Cut a piece of hat channel to go from the left side of the pre-hung door frame to the center of the next side post and one
to go from the right side of the pre-hung door frame to the center of the next side post on that side of the door. Cut addi-
tion pieces of hat channel as needed from 8’ or 10’ lengths to match up with the number of runs that intersect the door
opening on your height building. (2 runs on 8’ high buildings, and 3 runs on 10’ and 12’ high buildings. See layout for side
hat channel height locations on page 18.
