DOOR INSTALLATION 

INSTRUCTIONS

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: 

WOOD DOORS MUST BE COMPLETELY FINISHED (3 TOTAL COATS, INCLUDING 

PRIMER COAT) PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, TO ENSURE THAT THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR 

SURFACES, AS WELL AS ALL EDGES OF THE DOORS ARE PROPERLY PROTECTED AGAINST 

MOISTURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS. WOOD DOORS, IN A NON-FINISHED CONDITION, 

MUST BE TRANSPORTED AND STORED SO THE WOOD SURFACES ARE NOT EXPOSED 

TO MOISTURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS. IMPROPER TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE OR 

DELAYS IN FINISHING, THAT ALLOWS EXPOSURE OF THE WOOD DOOR SURFACES TO MOIS-

TURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS WILL RESULT IN THE WARRANTY BEING VOIDED.

Vertical Tracks

 

1

 

NOTE:

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

Hand tighten the left hand flag angle to the left hand vertical track using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” 

track bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts.

NOTE:

 The bottom jamb bracket is always the shortest bracket, while the center jamb 

bracket is the next tallest. If three jamb brackets per side are included with your door, you will 

have received a top jamb bracket, which is the tallest.
To attach the bottom jamb bracket, locate lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern of the 1st hole 

set on the vertical track. Align the slot in the jamb bracket with the lower hole of the hole/ slot 

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 

flange hex nut.
Repeat the same process for right hand side.

NOTE:

 Reference Package Contents or Breakdown Of Parts, to determine if a bottom weather 

seal was supplied. If a bottom weather seal was supplied, complete this step.

NOTE:

 Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this 

manual to determine what size section you need to use as your bottom (first) section. Mea-

sure your section to make sure it is the correct height as indicated on the chart.
Place the bottom section face down on a couple of sawhorses or flat clean/ smooth surface. 

Align the bottom weather seal with the flap pointing towards the outside surface of the 

bottom section. Starting at one end of the door, measure inward 1” and attach the bottom 

weather seal to the bottom of the bottom section with 3/4” long galvanized roofing nails 

(not supplied). Now stretch the bottom weather seal slightly and nail the rest of the bottom 

weather seal to the bottom of the bottom section every 6”. Once the bottom weather seal is 

fastened cut off any extra material so that the bottom weather seal is even with both ends of 

the bottom section.

NOTE:

 Verify bottom weather seal is aligned with bottom section. If there is more than 1/2” 

excess weather seal on either side, trim weather seal even with bottom section.
