INSTALLATION
Adjust counterbalance cables to create
about 1” to 2” (25 mm to 50 mm) of
inital spring stretch, with door in the
fully open position.
Measure relaxed spring length for
your door height and verify with chart.
Spring length must be the same
for both springs to allow even door
balance.
Carefully remove the locking pliers from
the horizontal track and lower the door
into the closed position.
Once the door is closed, measure the
spring length in tension for both sides.
Using the chart, verify the spring length
in tension is correct with your door
height.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust
spring length for proper door balance.

Permanently attach the vinyl weather stripping to both
door jambs and the header.
Now lift the door and check it’s balance. If the door is
hard to pull down or lifts by itself, adjust spring length
by moving the “S” hook backward (towards the rear
support) to a different hole in the reinforcing angle.
If the door is difficult to lift or too easy to pull down,
adjust spring length by moving the “S” hook forward
(towards the header) to a different hole in the reinforcing
angle.
IMPORTANT: Whenever adjusting spring length for door
balance, always open the door to the fully open position
and return the locking pliers to the horizontal tracks
below the bottom rollers.
If the door still does not operate easily, lower the door
into the closed position and recheck the following items:
1.) Check the door for level.
2.) Check the distance between flagangles - must be
door width plus 3-3/8” +1/4” -0”.
3.) Check the counterbalance cables for equal tension
- adjust by re-tieing the special knot.
