Hi need to put frame and plasterboard where this door used to be. Can I drill down into I Beam and use bolts to secure price of 2x4 of where the door used to be?
I thought about screwing the ends of the 2*4 into the vertical frames. Problem with that is the vertical frame on the right is only attached to the frame that is spanning the floor, which is getting removed so will no longer be attached to anything. I just wasn't sure if it's a good idea/allowed to drill holes in the i beam and use bolts, was thinking 4 holes 5mm?
You could glue it for all the lateral force it's going to have to resist, unless you have a habit of repeatedly ramming heavy objects into the base of your walls
