These Installation Instructions are provided as a guide for assembling Wi
reCrafters RapidGuard™
partition system. Due to varying job site conditions, and infinite layout possibilities, there is no
“recommended” or standard way to install the product.
Common sense and proper safety measures must be
used during installation.
The product may be unstable during installation; adequate temporary bracing
should be used until the layout is fully assembled with all fasteners and anchors properly tightened.
Depending on site and layout conditions, permanent field bracing to building s
tructure may be necessary.
Addition of field bracing is the responsibility of, and shall be done at installer’s or owner’s
discretion and expense. Installation problems arising from job site conditions should be referred to a
professional installer. Ref
er product assembly questions to WireCrafters.

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.. “Inside” of the partition has one leg of the panel frame pointing in. Panel fastener hardware will be on
the inside of the partition.
4. Panels install vertically between posts, 2½” 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 sticker tags on the angle 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 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 width by installing header angle.
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.
12. Standard hinge and slide doors are universal and may be installed left or right hand.
13. Installer should touch up all nicks, marks, and scratches with touch up paint provided.
