rubber. The plastic guide end locks were vertically spaced 10" on center on each
side of the curtain and were fastened with two male to female #8-32 pan head
screws. A third male to female #8-32 screw was located at the large end of the
plastic guide end locks. The plastic guide end locks road in the plastic guide rails
that were fitted to the steel jamb tracks. A steel tube reinforcement bar was
located 120" from the head on the interior side of the door. The steel tube had a 3"
diameter with a 1/4" thick wall. The reinforcement bar had a 1-3/8" solid steel
