Before you begin
Mounting guides are temporary tools that attach to the ends of the TrueFit Bar. They rest against the window frame to help you position the bar at the correct height, keep it level, and center it before tightening.
They are only used during installation and are removed once the bar is secure.
Make sure:
your window opening is clear
your TrueFit Bar is ready to install
the mounting guides are attached to the TrueFit Bar
you have the included wrench
Before using the mounting guides, extend the TrueFit Bar to the correct width for your window and hand-tighten it so it holds that size securely. You will use the mounting guides during final placement and tightening.
1) Position and align the TrueFit Bar
Attach the mounting guides to the TrueFit Bar.
Place the TrueFit Bar inside the window frame.
Rest the mounting guides against the edges of the frame.
The guides establish the correct height and help keep the TrueFit Bar level and centered.
Take a moment here to confirm placement before tightening.
2) Tighten the TrueFit Bar
While the mounting guides are still in place, use the included wrench to fully tighten the TrueFit Bar.
The TrueFit Bar should feel stable and firmly seated.
3) Remove the mounting guides
Once the TrueFit Bar is fully tightened and secure, remove the mounting guides.
NOTE: Do not leave the mounting guides attached after installation.
Confirm placement
Check that the TrueFit Bar is level.
Make sure it is centered in the frame.
Confirm it feels secure.
Once complete, continue with the rest of the installation.
