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

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.

step.
Vertical track must be cut to the proper
length prior to installation.
IMPORTANT: DOORS THAT ARE 7’-0”
OR 8’-0” IN HEIGHT DO NOT REQUIRE
CUTTING THE VERTICAL TRACK.
Determine the radius of your horizontal

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
5/16” drill bit.
