Feed the excess cable from each post into the locker
mechanisms (Fig. 15). Make sure the cable is rounding
the last turn of the guide by looking down the post
(Fig. 16). Place locker mechanism into the channel of
the top beam as close to the post as possible.
NOTE:
If snap ring is not present and tensioner is
separated into 3 pieces. Simply line the pieces
back up as shown and thread cable as instructed.
Initial tensioning will secure the tensioner.

Pre-tension cable on guide A and B by pulling as much
slack through the locker by hand (Fig. 17). Make sure
the cable is rounding the last turn of the guide by
looking down the post (Fig. 16).
NOTE:
THIS STEP IS CRUCIAL TO ATTAIN PROPER
FINISHED TENSION.
Wearing a glove may help while pre-tensioning. Ensure
that the cable is centered in the cable guide while
pulling tight (Fig. 16).
10.
Use an impact driver or power drill tighten the
tensioners. Use a
the end of the locker (Fig. 18a). Do this for both
lockers at each post until spring is no longer visible
(Fig. 18b) (Initial tensioning complete). Complete
this step for all sections.
11.
Final tensioning. Push down on top row of cable
firmly. The spring near cable guide A should be
visible once again. Using your drill and
tension the bolt until spring is no longer visible

guide B, but instead, push on bottom row of cable
to loosen spring.
