Door Section Identification
Graduated end and center hinges are always pre-attached at the top of each section (except
top section) and the graduated end hinges are stamped for identification, #1, #2, #3, and #4
(#4 only on five section doors). The stamp identifies the stacking sequence of the section. The
sequence is always determined by #1 being the bottom section to #3 or #4 being the highest
intermediate section. If the stamp on the graduated end hinge is illegible, refer to the section
side view illustration. The section side view illustration shows the graduated end hinge profile of
all sections, and can also be used to identify each section.
The BOTTOM SECTION can be identified by #1 graduated end hinges, the factory attached
bottom astragal, the factory attached bottom corner brackets and by the bottom corner bracket
warning labels on each end stile.
The LOCK SECTION can be identified by #2 graduated end hinges on a 4 section high door and
by #3 graduated end hinges on a 3 section high door. Also, on a 3 section door, the lock section
will come with a warning label attached to the right or left endstile.
The INTERMEDIATE SECTION can be identified by #3 graduated end hinges (Only on a 4
section high door). The section will have a warning label attached to either the right or left hand
end stile.
NOTE: #4 graduated end hinges are used on the fourth section of five section doors.
The TOP SECTION can be identified with no pre-installed graduated end or center hinges.

Removing an Existing Door
IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST ALWAYS BE RELEASED BEFORE ANY
ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START REMOVING AN EXISTING DOOR.
WARNING WARNING
A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING ITS ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE SEVERE
OR FATAL INJURY. TO AVOID INJURY, HAVE A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS TECH-
NICIAN, USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS, RELEASE THE SPRING
TENSION.
For detailed information see supplemental instructions “Removing an Existing Door/ Preparing
the Opening”. These instructions are not supplied with the door, but are available at no charge
from Wayne-Dalton, A Division Of Overhead Door Corporation, P.O. Box 67, Mt. Hope, OH.,
44660, or at www.Wayne-Dalton.com.
Preparing the Opening
IMPORTANT: 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 Torsion
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 Torsion counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be firmly at-
tached 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.
WEATHERSTRIPS (MAY NOT BE INCLUDED):
Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if necessary)
to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.
For Quick Install track: For the header, align the weatherstrip with the inside edge of the header
and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side of the
jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the header
and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with equally
spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the
