DOOR INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing your door, be certain that you have read and followed all of the instruc-
tions covered in the pre-installation section of this manual. Failure to do so may result in an
improperly installed door.
NOTE:
Reference TDS 160 for general garage door terminology at

.
IMPORTANT:
IF THE DOOR WILL BE EXPOSED TO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ROAD SALT,
PAINT THE BARE GALVANIZED BOTTOM WEATHER STEEL RETAINER TO INHIBIT RUSTING.
Attaching Flag Angles and Jamb Brackets To
Vertical Tracks
1
NOTE:
If you have Riveted Track or Angle Mount Track, skip this step.
FOR DOORS WITH QUICK INSTALL TRACK:
Place the lower Quick Install tab of the left
hand flag angle in the Quick Install feature of the left hand vertical track. Give the flag angle
1/4 turn to lock in place. Measure the length of the vertical tracks. Using the jamb bracket
schedule, determine the placement of the jamb brackets for your door height and track
length. To install the jamb brackets, align the Quick Install tab on the Quick Install jamb
bracket with the Quick Install feature in the vertical track and turn the bracket perpendicular
to the track so the mounting flange is toward the back (flat) leg of the track. Repeat the same
process for right hand side.

FOR DOORS WITH FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK:
Hand tighten the left hand flag angle to
the left hand vertical track using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange
hex nuts.
NOTE:
The bottom jamb bracket is always the shortest bracket, while the center jamb
bracket is the next tallest. If three jamb brackets per side are included with your door, you will
have received a top jamb bracket, which is the tallest.
To attach the bottom jamb bracket, locate lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern of the 1st hole
set on the vertical track. Align the slot in the jamb bracket with the lower hole of the hole/ slot
pattern. Hand tighten jamb bracket using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” – 20
flange hex nut.
Place the center jamb bracket over the lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern that is centered
between the bottom jamb bracket and flag angle of the 2nd hole set. Hand tighten jamb
bracket using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nut.
If a top jamb bracket was included, hand tighten it to vertical track using the lower hole of the
hole/ slot pattern in the 3rd hole set and (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20
flange hex nut.

Attaching Horizontal Track Angles

NOTE:
For larger doors, a full length horizontal track angle may not already be spot welded to
the horizontal track. If the horizontal track angle is not welded, the horizontal track angle will
be installed, as shown.
Position the left hand horizontal track angle, as shown. Place the Quick Install tabs of the
horizontal track angle in the key slot of the left hand horizontal track. Using a hammer, tap
the horizontal track angle towards the curved end of the track until the alignment hole in the
track and angle are aligned. Repeat for other side. Set tracks aside.

only uses the Quick Install (Q.I.) jamb bracket schedule.
NOTE:
Reference Step Quick Install Flag Angles (Q.I.) or Step Fully Adjustable Flag Angles
(F.A.T.), to determine which type of track you have.
Measure the length of the vertical tracks. Using the Jamb Bracket Schedule (shown on the
Windload Specification Sheet), determine the placement of the windload jamb brackets for
your door height. Loosely fasten the jamb bracket to the vertical track with (1) 1/4” - 20 x
9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nut. Repeat for other side.
