- Attach the Door Brackets to the Garage Door and Garage Door Bracket
Attach the Rail to the Wall – Sectional & One Piece Doors
To avoid
injury
or
death
:
- Be sure to
securely
mount the garage door opener.
- Never touch any moving part while the garage door opener is in operation.
- Do not attempt to fix the garage door opener if it jams or malfunctions. Call a DGO installation professional for
assistance.
1. The first step is to determine where to attach the wall bracket. How you do this depends on whether you
have a sectional garage door on rails or a one piece garage door.
If you have a
sectional garage door
, do the following:
a. Open the door to the highest point of travel. In the center of the wall above the door, draw a
horizontal line 2” above the high point of the garage door. This height will provide travel clearance for
the top edge of the door.
