Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors 

WILL REQUIRE

 reinforcement BEFORE installation of 

door bracket. Contact your door manufacturer for 
reinforcement kit.

INSTALLATION STEP 11

Fasten the Door Bracket 

Follow instructions which apply to your door type 
as illustrated below or on the following page.

A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long 
enough to be secured to two or three vertical 
supports. A vertical reinforcement brace should 
cover the height of the top panel. 

Figure 1 shows one piece of angle iron as the 
horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of 
angle iron are used to create a U-shaped support. 
The best solution is to check with your garage door 
manufacturer for an opener installation door 
reinforcement kit.

NOTE: 

Many door reinforcement kits provide for 

direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In 
this case you will not need the door bracket; proceed 
to Step 12.

SECTIONAL DOORS

1.  Center the door bracket on the previously marked 

vertical centerline used for the header bracket 
installation. Note correct UP placement, as 
stamped inside the bracket.

2.  Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4" 

(5-10 cm) below the top edge of the door, OR 
directly below any structural support across the top 
of the door.

3.   Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending 

on your door’s construction:

Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle 
iron brace between the door panel support and 
the door bracket: 

•  

Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket 
using the two 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws. 
(Figure 2A)

•  

Alternately, use two 5/16" bolts, lock washers and 
nuts (not provided). (Figure 2B)

Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced 
doors: 

•  

Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket 
using the self-threading screws (Figure 3).

Wood Doors:

•  

Use top and bottom or side to side door bracket 
holes. Drill 5/16"

 

holes through the door and 

secure bracket with 5/16"x2" carriage bolts, lock 
washers and nuts (not provided). (Figure 4)

NOTE: 

The 1/4"-14x5/8" 

self-threading screws are 
not intended for use on 
wood doors.
