IMPORTANT: On sheet rock walls you must

header behind the sheet rock.
MOUNTING HEADER BRACKET
Mount the header bracket on the center line
drawn above the door with the bottom edge of the
bracket on the line marked 2” above the high-rise
point. Mark and drill 3/16” pilot holes.
You may need to
add a header board
(2”x4” or 2”x6”)

Close the door and from inside the garage, mark
the vertical centerline of the door on the header
wall and on the top panel of the door.
In some installations, the header bracket location
may be higher than the door header or no door
header exist. This will require adding a 2”x4” (or
larger) cross piece to the wall studs for mounting
the header bracket. Use lag screws (not supplied)
to attach the 2”x4” board to the studs.
Open the door to the high-rise point (the point
where the top edge of the door is highest above
the  oor) and measure the distance to the  oor.
Close the door and mark the header 2” above the
measured high-rise point.
