Jamb and Header Assembly

Besam jambs are factory prepared for header installation. Mount
jambs to header using five screws per jamb. (Factory Provided.)
 Drill holes at the top, middle and bottom of the jambs for
securing to the door opening, adjusting for site conditions that
may require the holes to be at a certain height.
 Drill 1/2" holes through the face of the jamb and then drill the
back holes to a maximum of 1/4".
Suggested methods for attaching the jambs in which the screw
holes are not exposed are as follows:
1. Install "U" shaped clips to the floor in which the jambs will
slide over the top. Drill a hole through the jamb and clip to
attach the bottom of the jamb. Drill a hole through the jamb
inside of the header to attach the top of the jamb.
2. Countersink the holes on the exterior jamb walls in line with
the sidelite such that the sidelite covers the holes when
installed.
