INSTALLING A WALK DOOR FRAME IN SIDE OF BUILDING WITH BASE PLATES

A walk door frame is typically a door header tube 2” x 4” cut to fit the space between side posts. (46”, 58” or 70” long)

The door vertical is a 2” x 4” tube with a base plate welded to the bottom. This tube will be 81 3/4” for a 3068 door.

Measure the pre-hung door that you will be installing to get a rough opening size about 5/8” larger in width and 1/4” larger

in height than the insert portion of the pre-hung door. Measure a mark the location of the vertical jamb post on the slab.

(Note that the base plates extend 1/4” from each post. The measurement given is from post to post not base plate to base

plate.) You may have to cut down the door jamb post to fit your walk door frame. Pre-assemble the door jamb post to the

door header with BK-10 angle brackets and #12 x 3/4” self-drilling screws as shown below.

Now, Place the pre-assembled walk door frame in the opening

between two side posts. Flush the assembly to the side posts

and set the header level. Attach the brackets to the side posts.

Plumb the side post and anchor the base plate to the slab with

a 5/8” x 5” concrete wedge anchor.

You will now frame around the door opening with 1 1/2”

square nailer tubes. Your kit will have (1) 42” long tube with 2

holes and (2) 81 3/4” long tubes with 5 holes. Attach 42” nailer

tube flush with the bottom of the door header with #13 x 2”

concealor screws (black). Allow the nailer to extend 2” past the

door opening on both sides of the door. Now attach the 81 3/4”

vertical nailers flush with the inside of the door frame using the

same screws, 5 per nailer. The vertical nailers may have to be

trimmed to fit.
