Step 1: Extension Spring Relief
Raise the door to the fully open position and clamp locking pliers to the back legs of both vertical tracks, below
the bottom rollers to prevent the door from falling (see Fig. 1). By opening the door, you release most of the
spring tension. Carefully unfasten the S-hook from the horizontal angle. Remove the counterbalance cable.
Leave extension spring with it’s sheave installed. Repeat for the other side.
WARNING COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST BE RELIEVED BEFORE RE-
MOVING ANY HARDWARE. A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING IT’S ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN
CAUSE SEVERE, EVEN FATAL INJURY.
NOTE: Only remove springs when door is in the up position and visegrip pliers are attached to the
track.

Step 3: Lifting Cable Loop
Locate the bottom bracket at the lower edge of the bottom
section. The lift cable will be attached to the brackets
milford pin. Measure the diameter of the head of the pin
and record the measurement. Locate the drum assemblies
provided with the kit. They will have a cable attached
with a loop formed on the end of the cable.
Locate the cable loop tool and install the loop over the
shape that corresponds to the milford pin head size you
measured. Use the larger size if the milford pin head size
is greater than or equal to 1/2”, and the smaller size if the
diameter is less than 1/2”. With the cable installed onto
the tool, pull the cable tight, forming it around the loop
tool. Remove the cable from the tool while holding the
cable so it does not slip in the crimp sleeve. Place the
crimp sleeve on a hard surface and using a hammer, hit
the crimp sleeve until it is squeezed tightly around the cable. Verify the loop has been set securely by pulling
on the loop. Repeat for the other cable. Set the drum/cable assemblies aside until needed.

Step 4: Flag Bracket Installation
RIGHT HAND

There are two fl ag brackets (left
and right) provided. The right side
bracket has an extended fl ange at the
top. Align the left hand fl ag bracket
to the existing left fl ag angle, so the
top fl ange will be located to the top
edge of the existing fl ag angle.
Identify two locations that will allow the 3/8” bolts to go through both

may not be any holes in the existing fl agangles to mount the fl ag brackets. It will be necessary to drill two 3/8” dia. holes that will allow the
3/8” bolts to go through both the existing fl ag angles and the new fl ag
brackets. Once the holes are drilled proceed with the installation of the fl ag brackets as
shown in step 4.
BRACKET
INSTALLED
Insert the 3/8” bolts into the previously identifi ed slot in the fl ag bracket, insert a spacer onto the bolt and position the fl ag bracket to the existing fl ag angle. Attach the 3/8” nut and tighten. Secure the second bolt, spacer
and nut in the same manner. Make sure that the fl ag bracket is parallel with the existing fl ag angle.
IMPORTANT! Flag brackets must be level and plumb. Secure the top of the fl ag bracket with a 5/16” lag
screw in the slot provided. Repeat the procedure for the right hand bracket.
NOTE: Right and Left hand is determined from inside the garage, looking out.

this is not what the track is set to,
then you must adjust the track so

the requirment.To move the track it
may be necessary to loosen the bolts
in the fl ag angles and the brackets
mounting it to the jamb. Set the
track so it is 1-3/4” from the edge
of the door on both sides. Reinstall bolts in the jamb brackets and fl ag angles. Recheck dimensions before go-
ing to the next step.

Cable drums are right and left. Be sure to check the
identifi cation on each drum to make sure the correct
drum is installed on its corresponding side.
Apply grease to both sides and outer diameter of the
fl ange of the drum shaft.
Insert the 1/2-13 x 2” socket head cap screw into the
drum shaft. Then insert the screw and shaft into the
drum so that the screw threads and drum shaft are
showing out past the drum bearing.
Install the drum/shaft/screw assembly into the 3/4”
hole in the fl ag bracket. Be sure the end of the shaft
is inserted into the hole in the fl ag angle.
Secure assembly with a 1/2” washer and 1/2”
lock nut.
Check to make sure the drum will rotate freely
on the shaft. If not, loosen 1/2” lock nut until the
drum is free to rotate. Repeat for opposite side.

Locate the end of the lifting cable where the custom loop
was made earlier in the instructions. Carefully pull the
cable, bringing the loop to the milford pin located in the
bottom bracket on the edge of the bottom section. Secure
the cable loop around the milford pin, making
sure the loop is over the head of the milford pin
and around the smaller diameter. Repeat for the
other side.

After the counterbalance cables are installed on both sides of the track, lift the
drum wrap to remove the shrink wrap from the cable drums. Re-insert the drum
wrap and match the hole in the drum wrap with the hole in the fl ag bracket.

Secure the drum wrap to the fl ag bracket using (1) 1/4-20 x 9/16” track bolt and
1/4-20 fl ange nut (see Fig.7). Repeat for the other side.
SPRING ADJUSTMENTS: Adjust the counterbalance cables so that there is

no more than 1” of spring stretch. This is done by adjusting the cable in the 3hole clip and/or moving the S-hook to another location on the horizontal angle.
Be sure that the left and right side counterbalance cables are adjusted to provide
the same amount of spring pre-tension on each side.
Step 9: Safety Cable Installation
Ensure that the safety cables installed on your door are not tangled with the extension spring cables. Contact
a professional garage door service technician if safety cables are not installed through each of the extension
springs on your door.

Step 10: Lower the Door
Now that the counterbalance system is installed to the
garage door, remove the locking pliers and carefully
lower the door to the fully closed position. Be sure
the door descends uniformly by pulling the door down
from the center of the door and using correct gripping
points, such as a lift handle or lock handle.
