ONE-PIECE DOOR INSTALLATIONS

   Generally, a one-piece door does not require 

reinforcement. If your door is lightweight, refer to the 

information relating to sectional doors in Installation 

Step 11.

   Depending on your door’s construction, you may need 

additional mounting hardware for the door bracket 

(Step 11).
