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 bearing
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 14” (356 mm) above the top of the opening for Torsion
spring applications. 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 existing jambs, header and mounting surface.
Any wood found not to be sound, must be replaced.
For Torsion spring applications, a suitable mounting surface must be firmly
attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening. The
mounting surface must be 2” x 6” lumber minimum (Select southern yellow
pine lumber. Do not use lumber marked as spruce-pine-fur or SPF). The
mounting surface must be securely attached to the wall with four (4) 3/8”
anchors for masonry constructions or four (4) 5/16” x 4” lag screws for wood
construction.
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
spaced nails. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening
during installation. Space nails approximately 12” apart.
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 spaced
nails. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening during
installation. Space nails approximately 12” apart.
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.
