Step 1: Framing the Opening
The garage door opening should be approximately the same
size as the door (Figure 1). The opening must be framed with 2”
x 6” minimum wood jambs. Torsion Spring and Opener
applications require 2“ x 6” minimum Spring Anchor Pads. The
jambs must be plumb and the header level for a square
opening. The jambs should extend to the same height as the
headroom required (Table 1). All jamb fasteners should be flush
with the jambs and securely anchored to the wall. All fasteners
should have a minimum edge distance of 1-1/2“ to prevent
splitting.
Step 2: Perimeter Seal Installation
Perimeter Seal is to be purchased separately. It is not supplied
with your door (see Supplement Page 1 for details).
Step 3: Section Selection
Check the section height chart (Table 2) to ensure proper
quantity of sections. The bottom section has a rubber weather
seal on the bottom. The inside of the sections have pre-drilled
holes for most fasteners.
Note:
If additional reinforcement (struts) are supplied with your
door, refer to page 8 for proper location, and Page 5, Step 21 for
strut installation instructions.
Step 4: Safety Bottom Bracket Installation
Locate the Safety Bottom Bracket assembly (Figure 2). Separate
all four parts by snapping apart (Figure 3). Place the bottom
section face down on a sturdy pair of padded saw horses (Figure
4). Attach the left Bottom Bracket Base to the bottom of the left
end stile (Figure 4A). Fasten the base with (2) 1/4” x 1” RED TEK
Screws. Align the Bottom Bracket Roller Carrier with the
matching holes in the base and attach with (2) 1/4” x 1” TEK
Screws. Insert the Roller into the Bottom Bracket Roller Carrier
(Figure 4B). Repeat this procedure for the right end stile.
Note:
Holes in the stiles may not line up with all fixtures,
handles, and locks. Use a 3/32” drill bit to start pilot holes for
fasteners where pre-drilled holes are not provided.
Step 5: Lift Cable Installation
Secure the lift cable to the bottom bracket by hooking the
looped end of the cable over the lifting stud (Figure 4B). If two
sets of cables are supplied, use the longer cables as lift cables.
Step 6: Roller Hinge Installation
Roller Hinges have a number stamped on them for identifica-
tion (Figure 4D). All Roller Hinges are attached to the end stiles
with (2) 1/4-20 x 1” TEK Screws, with the center line of the hinge
aligned along the section break.
Start with a #1 Roller Hinge on the bottom section. Insert rollers
as shown (Figure 4D & Table 3).
Note:
#1 Roller Hinges are always used as Center Hinges
. All
other Roller Hinges must not be used as Center Hinges. They are
all marked with their identifying numbers.
Step 7: Center Hinge Installation
Position the Center Hinge as shown (Figure 4E). All Center
Hinges are attached with (2) 1/4-20 x 1” TEK Screws in the lower
section.
Note:
Shown is a Single Center Hinge door, your application
may have more Center Stiles and Center Hinges.
Step 8: Step Plate / Lift Handle Installation
Drill two (2) 1/4“ holes straight through the Center Stile using
the two dimples near the bottom of the section as a template.
Install the Step Plate / Lift Handle (outside & inside) using (2)
1/4” - 20 x 2-1/2” Carriage Bolts and 1/4”-20 Nuts (bolt heads
should be on the outside) (refer to Figure 4C). Do not
over-tighten, you could crush the section.
Note:
An additional pair of Step Plates / Lift Handles
must
be
installed at either the bottom of the second section or the
bottom of the third section (you may choose which location
works best for your application). Repeat Step 8 for these
additional handles. The bottom of these Step Plate / Lift
Handles should be a minimum of 4” from the bottom of the
section, so the center hinge will clear when fastened (refer to
Figure 4F).
