INSTALLATION

Before installing your door, be certain that you have read and followed all of the instruc-

tions covered in the pre-installation section of this manual. Failure to do so may result in an 

improperly installed door.

NOTE:

 Reference TDS 160 for general garage door terminology at 

www.dasma.com

.

IMPORTANT: 

IF THE DOOR WILL BE EXPOSED TO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ROAD SALT, 

PAINT THE BARE GALVANIZED BOTTOM WEATHER STEEL RETAINER TO INHIBIT RUSTING.

Attaching Flag Angles and Jamb Brackets To 

Vertical Tracks

NOTE:

 If you have Riveted Track or Angle Mount Track, skip this step.

FOR DOORS WITH QUICK INSTALL TRACK:

 Place the lower Quick Install tab of the left 

hand flag angle in the Quick Install feature of the left hand vertical track. Give the flag angle 

1/4 turn to lock in place. Measure the length of the vertical tracks. Using the jamb bracket 

schedule, determine the placement of the jamb brackets for your door height and track 

length. To install the jamb brackets, align the Quick Install tab on the Quick Install jamb 

bracket with the Quick Install feature in the vertical track and turn the bracket perpendicular 

to the track so the mounting flange is toward the back (flat) leg of the track. Repeat the same 

process for right hand side.

pattern. Hand tighten jamb bracket using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” – 20 

flange hex nut.
Place the center jamb bracket over the lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern that is centered 

between the bottom jamb bracket and flag angle of the 2nd hole set. Hand tighten jamb 

bracket using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nut.
If a top jamb bracket was included, hand tighten it to vertical track using the lower hole of the 

hole/ slot pattern in the 3rd hole set and (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20
