When installing your door you must use sections of the appropriate height in the right stacking order. What sections heights you need to use in what order depends on the height of your
door.
Unless your door is six sections in height, you will not receive an Intermediate III section.
The BOTTOM SECTION can be identified by the factory attached bottom astragal and by the
bottom bracket warning labels on each end stile.
The INTERMEDIATE I SECTION may have a warning label attached to either right or left
hand end stile of the section. This section is always the 3rd section from the bottom of the
door.

Removing an Existing Door
IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST ALWAYS BE RELEASED BEFORE
ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START REMOVING AN EXISTING DOOR.
WARNINGWARNING
A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING ITS ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. TO AVOID INJURY, HAVE A TRAINED DOOR
SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN, 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
attached 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 opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
For other tracks: For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside the header edge,
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 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with
equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out
of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
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, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is required.
NOTE: 6” low headroom conversion kit is available for 12” radius only. Contact your local
4
Wayne-Dalton dealer.
Backroom requirement: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening
back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.
*NOTE: For door heights from 10’1” to 14’0”, refer to your operator manufacture installation
instructions for appropriate depth into room.

Measure the length of the vertical tracks. Using the jamb bracket schedule, determine the
placement of the jamb brackets for your door height and track length. To install the jamb
brackets, align the Quick Install tab on the Quick Install jamb bracket with the Quick Install
feature in the vertical track and turn the bracket perpendicular to the track so the mounting
flange is toward the back (flat) leg of the track. Repeat for other side.

step.
NOTE: Flag angles are right and left handed.
If you have Quick Install vertical tracks, hand tighten the left hand flag angle to the left hand
vertical track using (1) stud plate and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts. Repeat for the other side.
If you have Fully Adjustable vertical tracks, hand tighten the left hand flag angle to the left
hand vertical track using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts.
Repeat for other side. Flange nuts will be secured after flag angle spacing is completed in

NOTE: The bottom jamb bracket is always the shortest bracket, while the center jamb
bracket is the next tallest. If three jamb brackets per side are included with your door, you will
have received a top jamb bracket, which is the tallest.
To attach the bottom jamb bracket, locate lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern of the 1st hole
set on the vertical track. Align the slot in the jamb bracket with the lower hole of the hole/ slot
pattern. Secure jamb bracket using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange
hex nut. Repeat for other side.
Place the center jamb bracket over the lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern that is centered
between the bottom jamb bracket and flag angle of the 2nd hole set. Secure jamb bracket
using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nut. Repeat for other side.
If a top jamb bracket was included, secure it to vertical track using the lower hole of the hole/
slot pattern in the 3rd hole set and (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange
hex nut. Repeat for other side.

NOTE: Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine which bottom corner
brackets you have.
Uncoil the counterbalance lift cables. Depending on which bottom corner brackets you have
(reference illustrations below), slip the loop at the ends of the counterbalance lift cable over
the milford pin of the bottom corner bracket or secure the cable loop to the clevis pin and
bottom corner bracket using a flat washer and a cotter pin. Repeat for other bottom corner
bracket.
Tools Required: Power Drill, 7/16” Socket driver, Tape measure, Saw horses
WARNINGWARNING
FAILURE TO ENSURE TIGHT FIT OF CABLE LOOP OVER MILFORD PIN
COULD RESULT IN COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE COMING OFF THE PIN,
ALLOWING THE DOOR TO FALL, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SEVERE OR
FATAL INJURY.
Starting on the left hand side, attach the left hand bottom corner bracket to the left corner
of the bottom section, making sure it is seated to the edges of the end cap, using 1/4” - 20
x 11/16” self drilling screws, roller spacer (if applicable) washer (if applicable) and (1) 1/4” 14 x 5/8” tamper resistant self drilling screw. Repeat for right hand bottom corner bracket.
NOTE: All doors are provided with the tamper resistant fastener for the bottom corner
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” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screw in its place.
NOTE: Check to ensure cable loop fits tightly over the milford pins.
Insert a short stem track roller with roller spacer into the bottom corner bracket. Repeat for
other side.
NOTE: Verify bottom weather seal (bottom seal) is aligned with door section. If there is more
than 1/2” excess bottom weather seal on either side, trim bottom weather seal even with
door section.
