4. INSTALLING THE FIRESCREEN TO
THE FIREPLACE OPENING:
The lintel bar is the “L” shaped angle iron that sup-
ports the bricks along the top of the fireplace open-
ing. This bar is built into your masonry fireplace when
originally constructed. Measure the lintel bar. If the
lintel bar is less than 3” or more than 4” wide, refer to
the Alternative Mounting Method Instructions (Page
6) and skip steps 1-4 in this section.
Step 1. While keeping the door panels fully open,
place the firescreen against the fireplace. Determine
the position of the lintel bar relative to the slotted
brackets on the back of the door frame. If the bottom
surface of the lintel bar is at the same height as the
slotted brackets, follow Bracket Assembly A (Figure
4). If the bottom surface of the lintel bar is above the
the center of the slotted brackets, follow Bracket
Assembly B (Figure 5).
Step 2. Assemble the Key Bracket (#5) to the lintel
clamp (#4) with the 1/4-20 x 1/4” Machine Screw (#1).
Do not tighten. Thread 1/4-20 x 2”Thumbscrew (#3)
into lintel clamp. Do not tighten.
Step 3. Place the “T” head of the Key Bracket into the
slotted bracket on the back of the firescreen as in
Figure 6 and turn bracket assembly to horizontal
position as shown in Figure 7. Repeat on opposite
end.
Step 4. Center firescreen against the fireplace open-
ing. (A second person may be necessary to hold fire-
screen tightly against the fireplace opening.) Reach
inside and slide the Lintel Clamp back or forward until
the lip of the Lintel Clamp is firmly against the lintel
bar. Tighten the Machine Screw. Making sure the
firescreen is against the fireplace, tighten the
Thumbscrew until the firescreen is secure on top as
shown in Figure 8. Repeat on opposite end.
Step 5. Insert 1/4-20 x 3 1/2”Thumbscrew (#9) into
Pressure Bracket (#8). Insert Pressure Bracket into a
pair of holes closest to the side of the fireplace open-
ing with the Thumbscrew pointing towards the side
wall of the fireplace as in Figure 9. Tighten the
Thumbscrew into the wall. Repeat on opposite end.
