STEP 10 - Reinforcing the Top Section  
for Opener 
To avoid damage to your door, you must reinforce the top 
section of the door in order to provide a mounting point for the 
opener to be attached. You will need one (1) or three (3) pieces 
of 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" minimum punched angle at least 13 gauge or 
3/32" thick from your local hardware or building supply store. 
Figures 10-A to 10-D show how punched angle is to be afxed 
to door. Angle iron may need to be trimmed depending on door 
section height and distance between center stiles.
Do NOT install the bracket supplied with the opener. 
Failure to reinforce the door, as illustrated, will void  
your warranty.
Required Materials:
(1) 18" or 21" length of angle iron,
(2) #14 x 5/8" sheet metal screws, 
and (2) 1/4" x 3/4" self tapping screws.
