Concealed Overhead Door Holders and Stops

Concealed overhead door holder installation requires that the jamb bracket be mortised flush with the bottom of the jamb. The arm and channel must be mortised into the door so the arm is flush with top of the door. A cutout made for the arm on the stop side of single acting doors as in the sketch. Double acting doors require a cutout for the arm on both sides of the door as shown in the sketch. Hollow metal doors must be reinforced at the top of the door to provide necessary strength for the channel. Hollow metal frames must be reinforced in the jamb to provide strength for the jamb bracket. Strength of wood frame and door must be adequate for the holder specified. Accurate template drawings for each holder give complete reinforcement and mortising specifications and are readily available from ZenSupply.

Surface Overhead Door Holders and Stops

Surface mounted overhead door holder installation does not require mortising of jamb or door. The jamb bracket is surface mounted on the stop of the frame. The channel is also surface mounted on the face of the door. Hollow metal doors and jambs must be reinforced to provide necessary strength for the holder specified. Strength of wood doors and jambs must also be adequate for the holder. A typical surface mounted installation is where a jamb bracket is fastened to the stop. Angle jamb brackets are available for use with rabbeted doors or flush transom installations . Jamb brackets with special shims for use on jambs with blade stops are also available. Advise stop height and the appropriate shim kit will be provided.
