reaches the highest point of travel (High Arc
Point); using a carpenter’s level, transfer
and mark the highest point of travel onto the
header wall and close the door.
Mount the front wall bracket with its lower
edge approximately 1/2” -1” above the
mark showing the highest point of travel and
centered on the vertical center line.

For low headroom torsion
counterbalance, hold the wall bracket’s
bottom edge typically at 1/2” - 1” (room
permitting) above the torsion spring center
bracket and centered on the vertical line, see
illustration.
Mark the two mounting holes and pilot drill
with a 1/8” drill bit. Mount wall bracket using
the 1/4” x 1-1/2” lag screws supplied to
ensure rigid mounting.
