Abstract:

A bracket and a method for installing and anchoring an insert, such as a window, within a frame that forms an opening in a structure. The bracket includes a formed end shaped with a channel to fit over a flange at an outer periphery of the insert. The flange can move within the channel to accommodate motion of the structure. A bracket shank extends from the formed end to fit between a casing of the insert and the frame. A bracket fastener end extends from the shank, and includes one or more holes through which fasteners can attach the bracket to the frame. A number of brackets are placed over the flange of the insert, which may be placed within the opening from the inside of the structure. The insert may be temporarily fastened to the frame, adjusted to a desired position, and then permanently anchored to the frame.
