Step 7-3: Attach Standard Extension Springs Lift Cables

■
Hinges are stamped with numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the side of the hinge that
attaches to the section. (Number 4 is stamped on 5-section door only.)
■
Attach a #1 hinge to each pair of prepunched holes along top edge of

NOTE: Determine if a strut is required on the bottom section of your
door (Table 7-A). Determine whether door thickness is 1-3/8" or

hinges using 1/4" × 3/4" self-tapping screws as shown (Fig. 7-F).
