IF YOUR DOOR CAME WITH A STRUT (ASYMMETRICAL):
Place the asymmetrical strut
over the top rib of the top door section, as shown. Fasten each end of the asymmetrical
strut to the end cap with (2) 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws. Fasten center of the
asymmetrical strut as shown to the rib using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws, one 6”
to the left and one 6” to the right of the center line of the top door section. Fasten both wall
and the long leg of the asymmetrical strut, as shown using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping
screws every 30 - 36 inches. (Approximately 18 self tapping screws per 18’ asymmetrical
strut)
IMPORTANT:
WHEN SECURING THE ASYMMETRICAL STRUT TO THE TOP SECTION, IT IS
RECOMMENDED NOT TO INSTALL ANY FASTENERS INTO THE SHORT LEG OF THE ASYM-
METRICAL STRUT.

Attaching Drawbar Operator Bracket
7
NOTE:
If you’re installing a drawbar operator, the drawbar operator bracket must be mounted
and secured prior to installing top section.
IMPORTANT:
TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO YOUR DOOR, WAYNE DALTON RECOM-
MENDS REINFORCING THE TOP SECTION WITH A STRUT.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN CONNECTING A DRAWBAR OPERATOR TYPE GARAGE DOOR OPENER
TO THIS DOOR, A WAYNE DALTON OPERATOR/ DRAWBAR OPERATOR BRACKET MUST
BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE TOP SECTION OF THE DOOR, ALONG WITH ANY STRUT
PROVIDED WITH THE DOOR. THE INSTALLATION OF THE DRAWBAR OPERATOR MUST BE AC-
CORDING TO MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND FORCE SETTINGS MUST BE ADJUSTED
PROPERLY.
Prior to installing the top section, locate the center of the top section and seat the drawbar
operator bracket on top of the top section. For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator
bracket must be aligned with an existing drawbar operator and positioned on top section
so it bridges the transition point of the section thickness. Install (2) #12 x 1/2” phillips head
screws on the back side of drawbar operator bracket. Clamp drawbar operator bracket to
strut (if supplied) with vise clamps. Attach (6) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws to the
drawbar operator bracket. Remove vise clamps.
NOTE:
If a strut was installed, you can use two of the 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self-drilling screws
previously used to attach the strut instead of two 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws when
attaching drawbar operator bracket to strut.
NOTE:
When attaching drawbar operator bracket to top section with strut, apply additional
pressure to thread into the strut.

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.
