SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION

Planning

Identify the type and height of your garage door. Survey your garage area to see if any of the conditions below apply to your installation. Additional materials may be required. You may find it helpful to refer back to this page and the accompanying illustrations as you proceed with the installation of your opener.

Depending on your requirements, there are several installation steps which may call for materials or hardware not included in the carton.

• Installation Step 1 – Look at the wall or ceiling above the garage door. The header bracket must be securely fastened to structural supports.

• Installation Step 5 – Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening hardware may be required.

• Installation Step 10 – Depending upon garage construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be needed to install sensors.

• Installation Step 10 – Alternate floor mounting of the safety reversing sensor will require hardware not provided.

• Do you have an access door in addition to the garage door? If not, Model 7702CB Emergency Key Release is required. See Accessories page.

• Look at the garage door where it meets the floor. Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal system may not work properly. See Adjustment Step 3. Floor or door should be repaired.

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS

• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required (Installation Step 11).

• The opener should be installed above the center of the door. If there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate in the way of the header bracket, it may be installed within 4 feet (1.22 m) to the left or right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.

• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.

Horizontal and vertical reinforcement is needed for lightweight garage doors (fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with glass panels, etc.). See page 23 for details.

• Depending on your door’s construction, you may need additional mounting hardware for the door bracket (Step 11).

ONE-PIECE DOOR WITHOUT TRACK

Without a properly working safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

• The gap between the bottom of the garage door and the floor MUST NOT exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal system may not work properly.

• The floor or the garage door MUST be repaired to eliminate the gap.

WARNING

INSTALLATION STEP 1

Determine the Header Bracket Location

Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.

1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.

2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.

You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet (1.22 m) of the left or right of the door center only if a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way; or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 13) when clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the wall upside down if necessary, to gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm).

If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as shown here and on page 13.

3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall above the high point:

• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and one-piece door with track.

• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door without track.

This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge of the door.

NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the height available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to page 13 for ceiling installation.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door might not reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket over drywall.

• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.

• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, all of which are under EXTREME tension.

• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced garage door might not reverse when required.
