It has to span a 2270mm entranceway so is 2700mm long and 270mm
wide,galvanised and marked up heavy duty, which it certainly is as its
all my wife and I can do to just lift it. Never mind getting it 10ft in
the air.


Hi

Are you concerned that it isn't up to the job? Or that its over
specced and going to be far more trouble than is justiifed?

Given that the current 'lintel' is the timber I guess you don't mean
the former.

What profile is yours? Catnic always used to mean the box type to me.
But I know they do the 'top hat' type too, which IG seem to be the
traditional supplier of. Both of those types are formed with two-leaf
walls in mind.

'Light' lintels for use over narrow doors in non-load bearing walls
used to be just corrugated steel. Not sure if they still are, or how
wide they go.

I think CG is a Catnic product line. Maybe its been discontinued and
you have a replacement?

No idea bout DTS.

You could always call Catnic. Manufacturers are usually pretty happy
to give basic info on their products.

Also look at http://www.catnic.com to see if you can find anything
that helps?
