WARNING
FAILURE TO SECURELY ATTACH A SUITABLE
MOUNTING PAD TO STRUCTURALLY SOUND
FRAMING 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 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 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 space nails
approximately 12” to 18” apart. This will keep the bottom section from
falling out of the opening during installation.
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, 3” (76 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.

Installation
Begin the installation of the door by checking the opening. It must be the same size as the door. Vertical jambs must be plumb and level
with header.
IMPORTANT: STAINLESS STEEL OR PT 2000 COATED LAG SCREWS (NOT SUPPLIED) MUST BE USED WHEN INSTALLING CENTER
BEARING BRACKETS, END BRACKETS, JAMB BRACKETS, OPERATOR MOUNTING/SUPPORT BRACKETS AND DISCONNECT BRACKETS
ON TREATED LUMBER (PRESERVATIVE-TREATED). STAINLESS STEEL OR PT 2000 COATED LAG SCREWS ARE NOT NECESSARY WHEN
INSTALLING PRODUCTS ON UN-TREATED LUMBER.
IMPORTANT: WHEN INSTALLING 5/16” DIAMETER LAG SCREWS USING AN ELECTRIC DRILL/DRIVER, THE DRILL/DRIVER’S CLUTCH MUST
BE SET TO DELIVER NO MORE THAN 200 IN. LBS. OF TORQUE. FASTENER FAILURE COULD OCCUR AT A HIGHER SETTING.
Note: It is recommended that 5/16” lag screws be pilot drilled using a 3/16” drill bit, prior to fastening.

stamped on the side of the track.
Using this measurement, refer to the vertical
track cutting chart to determine the length
of the vertical track. Cut the track off at the
TOP.
Now, two holes must be drilled into the
top of the cut vertical track. Refer to the
illustration shown for hole locations. Use a

Bottom Brackets
IMPORTANT: RIGHT AND LEFT HAND IS
ALWAYS DETERMINED FROM INSIDE THE
GARAGE LOOKING OUT.
NOTE: for door section identification see page 4.
Bottom brackets are right and left hand. Locate
the bottom section; place the left hand bottom
bracket flush against the bottom left hand
corner. Secure the bottom bracket to the section using (1) 1/4” x 5/8” tamper resistant self
drilling screw and (2) 1/4” x 7/8” self drilling

x 5/8” tamper resistant self drilling screw and
1/4” x 7/8” self drilling screws.
NOTE: All doors are provided with the tamper
resistant fastener for the bottom brackets.
However, the professional installer is most likely
to have the proper tool to install this fastener. If
the homeowner does not have the proper tool to
install the tamper resistant fastener, use a regular 1/4” x 7/8” self drilling screw in its place.
Insert roller into the roller carrier.

Alternately inserting the winding bars into the
holes of the spring’s winding cone, rotate the
winding cone upward toward ceiling, 1/4 turn
at a time, until the required number of
complete turns for your door height is
achieved. As the last 1/4 turn is achieved,

Cleaning
Cleaning Your Garage Door
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!
While factory-applied finishes on garage doors are durable, it is desirable to clean them on a routine basis. Some discoloration of the finish may occur
when a door has been exposed to dirt-laden atmosphere for a period of time. Slight chalking may also occur as a result of direct exposure to sunlight.
Cleaning the door will generally restore the appearance of the finish. To maintain an aesthetically pleasing finish of the garage door, a periodic washing
of the garage door is recommended.
The following cleaning solution is recommended:
A mild detergent solution consisting of one cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dissolved into five gallons of warm water will aid in the
removal of most dirt.
NOTE: The use of detergents containing greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended for use in general cleaning of garage doors.
NOTE: Be sure to clean behind weather stripping on both sides and top of door.
CAUTION: NEVER MIX CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
GLASS CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean with a mild detergent solution (same as above) and a soft cloth. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly.
ACRYLIC CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean acrylic glazing with nonabrasive soap or detergent and plenty of water. Use your bare hands to feel and dislodge any caked on particles. A soft,
grit-free cloth, sponge or chamois may be used to wipe the surface. Do not use hard or rough cloths that will scratch the acrylic glazing. Dry glazing
with a clean damp chamois.
NOTE: DO NOT USE any window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solvent-based cleaners of any kind.

to installations on rental property (even when used by a tenant as a residence). This Limited Warranty is not transferable to any other person (even when the

Any claim under this Limited Warranty must be made in writing, within the applicable warranty period, to the dealer from which the product was
purchased. Unless the dealer is no longer in business, a written claim to the Manufacturer will be the same as if no claim had been made at all.
At the Manufacturer’s option, pursuant to the dealer having notified the Manufacturer of a warranty claim, a service representative may inspect
the product on site, or Buyer may be required to return the product to the Manufacturer at Buyer’s expense. Buyer agrees to cooperate with any representative of the Manufacturer and to give such representative full access to the product with the claimed defect and full access to the location of its installation.

other than described in the immediately preceding paragraph, then neither this Limited Warranty nor any other warranty from the Manufacturer will cover the
repaired or replaced portion of the product.
THE REMEDIES FOR THE BUYER DESCRIBED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE EXCLUSIVE and take the place of any other remedy. The liability
