Andersen Head and Sill Reinforcement Bracket Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user guide for installing reinforcement brackets on E-Series French Gliding Patio Doors. This document contains step-by-step instructions for securing those brackets to ensure the structural integrity of your patio door. I understand the importance of using proper tools and taking safety precautions when installing the brackets. I'm here to assist with any questions you might have about correct installation procedures or other concerns found in the document.

· Windows and doors can be heavy. Use safe lifting techniques and a reasonable number of people with enough strength to lift, carry, and install
window and door products. Heavier windows and doors will require mechanical assistance. Failure to do so could result in injury, product or
property damage.
· Use caution when working at elevated heights and around window and door openings. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions for ladders and
scaffolding. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
· Support window or door in opening at all times until fastened. Failure to do so could result in window or door falling out causing injury, property or
