Steel lintel for patio door

[Rami1]

Anyone know what size and style lintel to go in a 3M wall where the patio door is 2.1M? Previously a window and block

If the doors no bigger than the existing window shown the lintel currently there will be fine, you want a minimum bearing of 150mm each side of the door

It is bigger, the width of the patio door is 2100 but the window is 900. Would you use a catnic?

If you contact catnic with the details they'll tell you what lintel you need, you may need to do a drawing of the joist positioning for them though.

Thanks so much, they were great! CX50/100 2400mm. Do you know anything about the padstone requirements around this?

That type of lintels designed to sit straight onto the brick/block work so doesn't require padstones
