If you just removed your existing door or you are installing a 

new door, complete all steps in PREPARING ThE OPENING. 

To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side 

and center brackets, or steel angles to new or retro-fit 

construction, it is recommended to follow the procedures 

outlined in DASMA Technical Data Sheets #156, #161 and 

#164 at www.dasma.com.

The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should 

be framed with wood jamb and header material. The jambs 

and header must be securely fastened to sound framing 

members. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used. 

The jambs must be plumb and the header level. The jambs 

should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the top 

of the opening for TorqueMaster

®

 Plus counterbalance 

systems. for low headroom applications, the jambs should 

extend to the ceiling height. Minimum side clearance 

required, from the opening to the wall, is 3-1/2” (89 mm).

IMPORTANT: 

Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting 

surface. Any wood found not to be sound, must be replaced.

for TorqueMaster

®

 Plus counterbalance systems, a suitable 

mounting pad (2” x 4”) must be firmly attached to the wall, 

above the header at the center of the opening.  

NOTE: 

Drill 3/16” pilot holes in the mounting pad to avoid 

splitting the lumber, and attach mounting pad with lag 

screws of appropriate length. Do not attach the mounting 

pad with nails.

weather Seal (May Not be Included): 

Cut or trim the weather seal (if necessary) to fit the header 

and jambs. 

For fully adjustable track:

 Align the header seal 1/8” to 

1/4” inside the header and temporarily secure it to the 

header with equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals 

up tight against the header seal and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the 

jamb. Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally spaced 

nails. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.  

This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the 

opening during installation.

NOTE: 

Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jamb 

at this time.

hEADROOM REqUIREMENT: 

headroom is defined as the 

space needed above the top of the door for tracks, springs, 

etc. to allow the door to open properly. If the door is to be 

motor operated, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is 

required.

NOTE:

 6” LhR Conversion kit is available for 12” track radius 

only. Contact your local Wayne-Dalton dealer.

bACkROOM REqUIREMENT: 

Backroom is defined as the 

distance needed from the opening back into the garage to 

allow the door to open fully.
