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.
