4 Identifying Garage Door Type
4.1 From the diagrams depicted in Fig.3 select the type of installation that is suited to your
Garage Door type.
5. Mounting Header and Door Bracket
5.1 Find the highest point in travel of the Garage Door and mark this as a horizontal line on the
Header above the top edge of the Garage Door.
5.2 Find the Garage Door Center Line and with a pencil, mark a vertical line on the Header above
the top edge of the Garage Door.
5.3 Centralize the bottom edge of the Header Bracket at no more than 50mm above the marked
out vertical and horizontal lines and mark the location of at least 2 screw holes.
5.4 Drill the 2 screw holes and use 2 screws to secure the Header Bracket to the Header.
5.5
Important Note: The Header Bracket carries ALL the opening and closing thrust and as
such must be securely fastened to a rigid, structural member of the garage.
5.6 Find the Garage Door Center Line and affix the Garage Door Bracket on to a structural
member of the Garage Door. Mark the location of at least 2 screw holes as far apart from
each other as possible.
5.7 Drill the 2 screw holes with appropriate drill and securely mount the Garage Door Bracket to
the Garage Door using 2 screws.
5.8
Important Note: It is recommended to use screws with nuts rather than self drilling
screws.
5.9
Important Note: For Sectional Doors, the pivot point of the Garage Door Bracket should be
mounted approx. one third down from the top edge of the top panel. For Tilt doors the
pivot point should be as close to the top edge of the Garage Door as possible.
