HEADROOM REQUIREMENT
If you just removed your existing door or you are installing a
new door, complete all steps in PREPARING THE OPENING.
To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side and center
brackets, or steel angles to new or retro-fit construction, it is
recommended to follow the procedures outlined in DASMA
Technical Data Sheets #156, #161 and #164 at www.dasma.
com.
The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should be
framed with wood jamb and header material. The jambs and
header must be securely fastened to sound framing members.
It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used. The jambs
must be plumb and the header level. The jambs should extend
a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the top of the opening
for TorqueMaster counterbalance systems. For low headroom
applications, the jambs should extend to the ceiling height.
Minimum side clearance required, from the opening to the
wall, is 3-1/2” (89 mm).
IMPORTANT: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting
surface. Any wood found not to be sound, must be replaced.
For TorqueMaster counterbalance systems, a suitable
mounting surface (2” x 4”) must be firmly attached to the
wall, above the header at the center of the opening.
NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid
splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with
nails.
Weather Seal (May Not Be Included):
Cut or trim the weather seal (if necessary) to the header and
jambs.
For quick install track: Align the header seal with the inside
edge of the header and temporarily secure it to the header
with equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight
against the header seal and flush with the inside edge of the
jamb. Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally space
nails approximately 12” to 18” apart. This will keep the bottom
section from falling out of the opening during installation.
For fully adjustable track: Align the header seal 1/8” to 1/4”
inside the header and temporarily secure it to the header with
equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against
the header seal and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb. Temporarily
secure the jamb seals with equally space nails approximately
12” to 18” apart. This will keep the bottom section from falling
out of the opening during installation.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jamb
at this time.
HEADROOM REQUIREMENT: Headroom is defined as the
space needed above the top of the door for tracks, springs,
etc. to allow the door to open properly. If the door is to be
motor operated, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is
required.
NOTE: 6” LHR Conversion Kit is available for 12” Radius only.
Contact your local Wayne-Dalton dealer.
BACKROOM REQUIREMENT: Backroom is defined as the
distance needed from the opening back into the garage to
allow the door to open fully.
