12” to 18” apart.

FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK:

 For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside 

the header edge, and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting 

at either side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached 

weatherstrip in the header and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the 

weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom sec-

tion from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” 

to 18” apart.

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” low headroom conversion kit is available for 12” 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.
