The following General Installation Instructions should be used as a guide for installing WireCrafters Style 840 Partitions. Because of
the varying job site conditions, and infinite layout possibilities, there is no “recommended” way to install the product. Good common
sense and proper safety precautions must be used during installation. The product may be unstable during installation; proper
temporary bracing should be used until all hardware is tightened and the product is properly anchored to the floor. Permanent field
bracing may be installed at installer’s/owner’s discretion. Install problems arising from job site conditions should be referred to a
professional installer. Refer product assembly questions to WireCrafters.

component parts in place before attaching with self drilling screws.
INSTALLER TIPS
1.
Installation is best accomplished with a two or three person crew.
2.
Before starting, review all installation instructions pertinent to your layout (i.e. panels, doors, etc.)
3.
“Face Side” of the partition is the outside, where nuts and bolts will NOT be visible or accessible. “Inside” of the partition has one leg of the panel
frame pointing in. Assembly hardware will be on the inside of most layouts.
4.
Panels install horizontally between posts, 2” mesh opening should be parallel with floor.
5.
Identify all panels by part number. If possible stage parts where they will be installed.
6.
Special size panels have metal tags on the mesh and are referenced on drawing.
7.
Make sure all posts are installed plumb (vertically perpendicular to floor). Shims (not provided) may be necessary.
8.
Use a 3-1/4” spacer block (not provided) to support far end of panel during setup.
9.
Begin installation process at a building wall, end or corner of layout.
10.
Gauge hinge door opening by width of transom panel.
11.
Gauge slide door opening by door width (e.g. 48” between posts for 4’ wide slide door). When necessary, slide door openings may be narrowed to
adjust length of adjacent run.
