FAILURE TO SECURELY ATTACH A SUITABLE

COULD CAUSE SPRINGS TO VIOLENTLY PULL
MOUNTING PAD FROM WALL, RESULTING IN SEVERE
OR FATAL INJURY.
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 6”) must be firmly attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the
opening.
NOTE: Drill 3/16” pilot holes in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber.
Do not attach the mounting surface with nails.
Weather Seal (May Not Be Included):
Cut the weather seal (if necessary) to fit the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
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.
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.
BACKROOM REQUIREMENT: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from
the opening back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.
