WHEN ATTACHING A WALK/ACCESS DOOR, GARAGE DOORS OR WINDOWS TO A

VERSATUBE STEEL FRAME YOU WILL NEED TO FOLLOW THE DOOR OR WINDOW

MANUFACTURERS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. ADDITIONAL ASSEMBLY HINTS ARE

PROVIDED IN YOUR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

THE SCREWS PROVIDED OR RECOMMENDED BY THE DOOR/WINDOW

MANUFACTURER TO MOUNT THE DOOR OR WINDOW TO A WOOD FRAME

WILL HAVE

TO BE REPLACED BY THE FOLLOWING VERSATUBE RECOMMENDED SCREWS TO

MOUNT DOORS AND WINDOWS TO A VERSATUBE STEEL FRAME.:

PRE-HUNG METAL WALK/ASSESS DOORS WITH METAL FRAMES:

#12-14 SELF-DRILLING SCREWS. PAN HEAD, PHILLIPS DRIVE OR HEX HEAD, ZINC

PLATED OR POWDER COATED SCREWS. THE SCREW MUST BE LONG ENOUGH TO

PENETRATE THE STEEL BUILDING FRAME AT LEAST 5/8” OR 4 SCREW THREADS.

PRE-HUNG WOOD OR METAL WALK/ACCESS DOORS WITH WOOD FRAMES:

#12-14 WOOD TO METAL

SELF-DRILLING SCREWS, PAN HEAD, PHILLIPS DRIVE.

A STANDARD #12 SELF-DRILLING SCREW CAN BE USED IF YOU PRE-DRILL A ¼” HOLE

THROUGH THE WOOD DOOR JAMB (NOT THE STEEL FRAME) AT EACH MOUNTING

POINT PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE SCREW INTO THE STEEL BUILDING FRAME. THE

SCREW MUST BE LONG ENOUGH TO PENETRATE THE STEEL BUILDING FRAME AT

LEAST 5/8” OR 4 SCREW THREADS.

GARAGE DOORS:

GARAGE DOOR TRACK BRACKETS OR CHANNELS ARE USUALLY ATTACHED TO A

WOOD DOORFRAME WITH 5/16” X 1 5/8” LAG SCREWS. TO ATTACH THE TRACK

BRACKETS OR CHANNELS TO A VERSATUBE STEEL FRAME USE #12-14 OR #1/4-14 or

¼”-20 X ¾” OR 1” LONG, HEX DRIVE, SELF-DRILLING SCREWS. IF THE SCREWS ARE

INSTALLED IN THE HOLES PROVIDED FOR THE 5/16” LAG SCREWS, WE RECOMMEND

THAT A ¼” FLAT WASHER BE USED UNDER THE HEAD OF THE SCREW UNLESS YOU

ARE USING A WASHER HEAD SCREW.

WINDOWS:

IF YOUR WINDOW IS MOUNTED WITH SCREWS THROUGH A NAILING FLANGE, USE

#10-24 X ¾”, 7/8” OR 1” PAN HEAD, PHILLIPS DRIVE, SELF-DRILLING SCREWS IN PLACE

OF THE SCREWS PROVIDED OR RECOMMENDED BY THE WINDOW MANUFACTURER.

IF THE WINDOW INSTALLATION CALLS FOR SCREWS THROUGH THE WINDOW JAMBS

OR FRAME, SUBSTITUTE A SELF-DRILLING SCREW OF THE SAME SIZE OR LARGER.

THE SCREW MUST BE LONG ENOUGH TO PENETRATE THE STEEL FRAME AT LEAST

5/8” OR 4 SCREW THREADS.

NOTE: THE RECOMMENDED FASTENERS FOR STEEL FRAMES HAVE GREATER SHEER

AND PULL OUT VALUES THAN THE WOOD SCREWS USED TO MOUNT DOORS AND

WINDOWS TO WOOD FRAMES.
