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
speci ed 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.

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), two (2), 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-B to 10-E show how punched angle
is to be af xed to door.
Horizontal Angle Attachment
Attach the horizontal punched angle (the longer piece) to the
top section as shown in Figure 10-A. Angle iron may need to
be trimmed depending on door section height and distance
between center stiles. Some doors with struts may not need
a horizontal angle; see Figures 10-B to 10-E to identify the
attachment method for your speci c door.
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.

(silver galvanized or white powder coated).
Instructions are provided with the kit.
NOTE: Operator may be attached up to 2 feet off center.
