Open the garage door and clean the bottom of the door and the area of the
garage oor where the door and the oor meet. Make sure there is no moisture
or dirt on the surface or you will not get a good bond with the Threshold.
Place the Threshold in the opening, centering it between the door tracks on
each side of the entrance. The garage door tracks are the channels the door
uses as it rolls up and down. The Threshold is made to t most garage doors so
usually no trimming is necessary. If you do have to trim, use a straight edge for a
uniform t when the Threshold is installed.

line to the back adhesive line and run this zig-zag line the entire length of the two
lines.

Follow the adhesive (not included) label directions for proper dry time before
applying the Threshold. Always keep adhesives away from children.
