Attaching Top Fixtures To Top Section
8
To install the top fixtures, align the top holes in the top fixture base with the second set of
holes in the end cap of the top section. Fasten to section using (4) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tap-
ping screws. Secure the top fixture slide to the fixture base loosely using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 5/8”
carriage bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts. Insert short stem track roller into top fixture
slide. Repeat the same process for the right hand side.
NOTE:
The top fixture slide will be tightened and adjusted later, in step, Adjusting Top Fixture.
NOTE:
Ensure the top fixture slide is able to slide along the top fixture base. If needed, loosen
the 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts.
Stacking Sections
9
NOTE:
The sections can be identified by the graduation of the factory installed graduated end
hinges. The smallest graduated end hinge on section should be stacked on top of the bottom
section, with each graduated end hinge increasing as the sections are stacked.
NOTE:
Make sure graduated end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another
section on top.
NOTE:
Larger doors will use long stem track rollers with double graduated end hinges.
Place track rollers into graduated end hinges of remaining sections.
With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower
section until it is seated against bottom section. Flip hinges up. Fasten center hinge(s) first;
then end hinges last using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws.
NOTE:
To prevent center hinge leaf from rotating, first secure the top middle hole of the cen-
ter hinge leaf with one 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screw then secure the other two holes.
NOTE:
Larger doors with double graduated end hinges, fasten both hinges to connect the
sections using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws.
Repeat same process for other sections, except top section.
IMPORTANT:
PUSH & HOLD THE HINGE LEAF SECURELY AGAINST THE SECTIONS WHILE
SECURING WITH 1/4” - 14 X 5/8” SELF TAPPING SCREWS. THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP
BETWEEN THE HINGE LEAVES AND THE SECTIONS.
NOTE:
Install lock at this time (sold separately). See optional installation step, Side Lock.
Stacking Top Section
10
Place the top section in the opening. Install a nail to prevent the top section from falling
backwards. Now, flip up the hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges
first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical.
Position flag angle or wall angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the
edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles must be parallel to the door sec-
tions. Repeat for other side.
IMPORTANT:
THE DIMENSION BETWEEN THE FLAG ANGLES OR WALL ANGLES MUST BE
DOOR WIDTH PLUS 3-3/8” (86MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM) FOR SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERA-
TION.
Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the
other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are
touching the deepest part of the curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts.
Repeat for other side.
Attaching Horizontal Tracks
11
WARNING
DO NOT RAISE DOOR UNTIL HORIZONTAL TRACKS ARE SECURED AT
REAR, AS OUTLINED IN STEP, REAR BACK HANGS, OR DOOR COULD FALL
FROM OVERHEAD POSITION CAUSING SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
FOR FLAG ANGLES:
To install horizontal track, place the curved end over the top track roller
of the top section. Align the bottom of the horizontal track with the top of the vertical track.
Tighten the horizontal track to the flag angle with (2) 1/4” - 20 x 5/8” carriage bolts and (2)
1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts.
Next level the horizontal track assembly and bolt the horizontal track angle to the first
encountered slot in the flag angle using (1) 3/8” - 16 x 3/4” hex head bolt and (1) 3/8” - 16
hex nut. Repeat for other side. Remove nail that was temporally holding the top section in
position.
IMPORTANT:
FAILURE TO REMOVE NAIL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RAISE DOOR COULD
CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO TOP SECTION.
Adjusting Top Fixtures
12
With horizontal tracks installed, you can now adjust the top fixtures. Vertically align the top
section of the door with the lower sections. Once aligned, position the top fixture slide, out
against the horizontal track. Maintaining the slide’s position, tighten the (2) 1/4” - 20 flange
hex nuts to secure the top fixture slide to the top fixture base. Repeat for other side.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Preparing The TorqueMaster
®
Spring Tube
Assembly
13
NOTE:
TorqueMaster
®
springs come lubricated and pre-assembled inside the TorqueMaster
®
spring tube.
To prepare for install, lay the spring tube assembly on the floor, inside garage, in front of the
door, and with the labeled end to the left. Next, remove the shipping boots from the ends of
the TorqueMaster® spring tube.
Being cam shaped, the center bushing only fits one way. Slide the center bracket bushing as-
sembly towards the center of the TorqueMaster® spring tube, from the right side, as shown.
NOTE:
Refer to Package Contents / Breakdown of Parts, to determine if you have drum
wraps (optional).
Drum wraps (optional) are marked right and left hand. Beginning with the left hand side, slide
the left hand drum wrap onto the TorqueMaster
®
spring tube. Repeat for the right hand side.
The drum wrap will be secured later, in Step, Securing Drum Wraps.
