STEP 5 - Removing Door Sections & Track
Step 5-1: The door can now be disassembled. Starting with
the top section, remove the hardware and unstack the sections
one at a time. (FIG. 5-A)
Step 5-2: After all sections have been removed from the
opening, detach all remaining track and hardware from the
jambs. The hangers that attach the rear ends of the overhead
track to the ceiling (called rear track hangers) in many cases
can be reused on the new door if made of 13 gauge (3/32") or
heavier steel and is not loose or unstable. (FIG. 5-B)
To avoid installation problems which could result in
personal injury or property damage, use only the track
specied and supplied with the door. Do not attempt to
reuse old track.
STEP 6 - Preparing the Opening
Step 6-1: On the inside of the garage your opening should
be framed with wood jambs, 2" x 6" if possible. The side
jambs should extend to approximately the same height as the
headroom required. If you have just removed an old door, the
jambs should be inspected for the condition of the wood. If the
wood is rotten, it should be replaced now. The jambs should
be plumb and the header should be level. If there are any
bolts fastening the jambs to the wall, the heads should be
ush so they don’t interfere with the installation of your new
door. (FIG. 6-A)
NOTE: Rough opening (without stop molding) = Door size
Step 6-2: Door stop molding should be temporarily nailed to
the edges of the jambs ush with the inside. (FIG. 6-B)
Stop molding featuring a built-in weather seal is offered as
an option.
