Designed to replace conventional boxed headers and built-up jambs and provide better results in half the time.
This system provides versatility for walls and ceilings contractors. Most notably, RedHeader Pro uses the same-sized member for the jamb and header. This allows for even greater functionality, while still reducing the amount of material by up to 50 percent. RedHeader Pro also eliminates “capped” members, which allows fasteners to drive through only a single thickness of steel.
Contractors will also notice that the top of the header is open and the header and jamb assembly are flush. This design allows for easy install of the insulation while virtually eliminating the need to pre-insulate headers prior to installation.
The new HDSC Header Bracket uses less steel than the original blue Drop ’N Lock™ Clip. The combination of a more economical shape and the elimination of the painting process is also in keeping with our green initiative.
It’s designed to replace conventional boxed headers and built-up jambs and provide better results in half the time. One-piece headers and jambs eliminate the additional studs, track and screws required to frame conventional rough openings. Headers and jambs are also pre-cut to specified lengths to eliminate field cutting.

The perfect complement to the RedHeader PRO™ and HDS® Framing system. This simple, yet innovative header bracket turns curtain-wall header installation from a two-person job into a one-person job. This unique, pre-punched clip also eliminates surface head fastener buildup that can create finishing challenges.
Why use a Cripple Stud Clip with the RedHeader Pro or HDS System?
Forget Using Complex Tables
Multiple tables (Header, Jamb and Header Clip Tables) for Opening Systems need to be cross referenced and are limited to keep them simplified.
