INSTALLATION STEP 2
INSTALL THE HEADER BRACKET
You can attach the header bracket either to the wall above the garage
door, or to the ceiling. Follow the instructions which will work best for
your particular requirements. Do not install the header bracket over
drywall. If installing into masonry, use concrete anchors (not
provided).
