6. SHORTENING THE BAR (OPTIONAL)
Measure for fit:
Measure the distance between stops on the door frame.
Subtract 2” [51mm] from the distance measured between stops. This will be the
measurement to use to cut both of the aluminum bar extrusions.
o
Example: The distance between stops is 31-3/4 inches [806mm], subtract 2 inches
[51mm] = total extrusion length of 29-3/4 inches [755mm].
Remove both of the end caps from the front bar extrusion and remove the end mount located
opposite the wire cable end of the bar from the rear bar extrusion.
Cut to size:
Slide the front bar extrusion completely off of the bar assembly and mark required length.
Using a chop or miter saw, cut the front bar extrusion to length.
Using same measurement, mark the length for the rear bar at the end of the extrusion
opposite the wire cable end.
Using a chop or miter saw, cut the marked end (opposite the wire cable) to length.
Using compressed air clean all debris from cutting operations out of the inside of the bar.
