IF YOU HAVE ANGLE MOUNT VERTICAL TRACK ASSEMBLIES:

 To install horizontal track, 

place the top rail end over the top track roller of the top section. Align the bottom rail end of 

the horizontal track with the top of the vertical track. Tighten the bottom rail of the horizontal 

track to the angle mount with (2) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex 

nuts.

Next level the horizontal track assembly and bolt the top rail of the horizontal track to the 

encountered slot in the flag angle / angle mount using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt, (1) 

1/4” - 20 flange hex nut and (1) 5/16” washer.

NOTE:

 If you have angle mount, bolt the top rail of the horizontal track to the encountered 

slots in the angle mount using (2) 3/8” - 16 x 3/4” truss head bolts, (2) 3/8” - 16 hex nuts.
 Repeat for other side.

Attaching End Bearing Brackets

NOTE:

 Right and left hand is always determined from inside the garage looking out.

NOTE:

 Identify the end bearing brackets supplied with your door. Refer to Illustrations below, 

Package Contents or Breakdown of Parts, to determine which end bearing brackets you have.

NOTE:

 End bearing brackets are right and left hand.

NOTE:

 Prior to fastening end bearing brackets to the jamb, pilot drill using a 3/16” drill bit.

Align the bottom edge of left end bearing bracket with the top edge of the flag angle. Main-

taining this alignment, also align the right edge of the end bearing bracket with the right edge 

of the flag angle. Secure the end bearing bracket to the jamb using (3) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag 

screws, as shown. Repeat same process for the other side.

Position the left hand end bearing bracket up against the jamb and on the horizontal track, 

as shown. Fasten the left hand end bearing bracket to the horizontal track with (1) 3/8” - 16 

x 3/4” truss head bolt and (1) 3/8” - 16 nut. Secure the left hand end bearing bracket to the 

jamb using (3) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws. Repeat same process for the other side.

Attaching Center Bracket to Wall

 

17

 

NOTE:

 Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine if your door came with a 

coupler assembly. If your door came with a coupler assembly, the mounting surface needs to 

be a minimum of 17” wide. The two center bearing brackets will need to be spaced 12” to 

14” apart at the center of the door, as shown.

NOTE:

 Prior to fastening center bracket(s) to the header, pilot drill using a 3/16” drill bit.

NOTE:

 If your door came with (4) springs, each of the outer springs mounting surface will 

need to be a minimum of 3” wide.

NOTE:

 If needed, measure the diameter of your springs. If you have a one piece shaft with 

3-3/4” diameter springs, they do not share center brackets and do not have a coupler as-

sembly.
First, locate the center of the door. Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above 

the door, at the center. Measure from the center of the bearing, in one of the end bearing 

brackets, downwards, to the top the door. Using that measurement, measure that distance 

upwards from the top of the door to the mounting surface and mark a horizontal pencil line 

which intersects the vertical pencil line.

IF YOUR DOOR DID NOT COME WITH A CENTER COUPLER ASSEMBLY OR USES TOR-

SION SPRINGS LESS THAN 3-3/4” ID:

 Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface 

above the door, at the center. Align the edge of the center bracket with the vertical pencil 

line and the center of the center bracket with the horizontal pencil line; this is to ensure the 

torsion shaft is level between the center and end bearing brackets.

NOTE:

 On some single spring doors, the spring can be longer than half the opening width. If 

your spring is longer, then the center bracket must be mounted off center for the spring to fit 

properly. Measure spring length adding room for spring growth during winding, to determine 

appropriate center bracket location.

IF YOUR DOOR DID COME WITH A CENTER COUPLER ASSEMBLY OR 3-3/4” ID TOR-

SION SPRINGS:

 Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above the door, at the 

center. Split the difference up and position the (2) center bearing brackets apart from each 

other. Mark two vertical pencil lines, one for each center bearing bracket onto the mounting 

surface above the door.

NOTE:

 If your door came with a center coupler assembly or if it utilizes 3-3/4” springs, the 

springs will not share a center bracket.

NOTE:

 If your door has (4) springs, split the distance between the center of the door and the 

end bracket on each side to locate the intermediate center brackets.
Attach the center bracket(s) to the mounting surface, using 5/16” RED HEAD lag screws, as 

shown.

IMPORTANT: 

USE A 5/16” X 2-1/2” RED HEAD LAG SCREW INSTEAD OF THE 5/16” X 

1-5/8” RED HEAD LAG SCREW IF MOUNTING SURFACE IS COVERED BY DRYWALL. THE LAG 

SCREW MUST BE ATTACHED THROUGH THE BOTTOM HOLE OF THE CENTER BRACKET(S).
