I don't know if this is the right forum for this question but here it is.
I have to anchor some bypass door floor brackets in a school gym that has an athletic type carpet. I had custom stainless brackets made but it turns out that one of the screw holes for the bracket is exactly over a 1/2" expansion joint in the concrete slab. With the carpet in place, I couldn't see the expansion joint and forgot that it was there when we constructed it in 1986.
I can't adjust where the bracket goes since the doors have to hang plumb. I could have the metal fabricator add on to the bracket and I thought that was the best option. But school is starting and I need to get these installed. So my question is this. Could I place some epoxy in the joint (squirt it through the screw hole in the carpet and then run the screw through the bracket into the epoxy? Would that hold securely? I might be able to remove a little of the expansion material with a drill bit maybe enough for the epoxy to bond to the two sides of the concrete slab.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Ken
