OPENER DOOR BRACKET GUIDELINES
ONLY Martin Finger Shield Garage Door Systems allow you
to choose center, off center or side mounting for a safer,
more attractive opener installation
WARNING!
Other brand doors are designed for center mounted
openers only. Off center or side mounted installations may result
in other brand doors binding, side shifting, twisting, and falling, as
the lift cables detach from the cable drums
.
SPECIAL GUIDELINES:
For 8" (203) low clearance track
installations, the strut and
the opener door bracket are fastened 2" (51) lower than
shown.
For 2 ½" (64) and 4 ¼" (108) low clearance track
installations the opener door bracket and top roller bracket are
lowered 2" (51). The strut is not lowered. Fasten the opener
power arm to the top hole of the opener door bracket.
A Martin Opener
requires 1 ½" (38) more clearance than the
required garage door clearance.
Doors over 18'2" (5540) wide
should use side mount opener
installation only
.
The opener door bracket will not fit on wide
doors with “U” / “C” struts and double end stiles. If door has
double end stiles with double top roller brackets, drill out hole
in end of curved power arm to 7/16" (14) and attach direct to
the long stem roller shaft between the double top roller
brackets. This makes a solid side mount opener installation.
