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

Preparing the Opening
5/16” x 2” Hex head lag screws
(as required)
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 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.
Backroom requirement: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening back
into the garage to allow the door to open fully.

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 five sections in height, you will not receive an Intermediate II 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.

Uncoil the counterbalance lift cables. Place the left hand cable loop into position between
the two holes on the side of the left hand bottom corner bracket. Slide a clevis pin through
the innermost hole, cable loop, and outermost hole, of the bottom corner bracket. Secure in
place by inserting a cotter pin into the hole of the clevis pin. Bend the ends of the cotter pin
outwards to secure it in place. Attach 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, with the appropriate
1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws and (1) 1/4”-14 x 5/8” tamper resistant self drilling screw.
Insert a short stem track roller into the left hand bottom corner bracket. Repeat for the right
hand side.
NOTE: Verify bottom weather seal is aligned with bottom section. If there is more than 1/2”
excess weather seal on either side, trim weather seal even with bottom section.
Attaching Jamb Brackets
Tools: None
Note: If you have a wall angle track assembly, skip this step. Refer to Package Contents /
Parts Breakdown, to determine if you have flag angles.
Note: The bottom jamb bracket is always the shortest bracket or the lowest number marked
on the jamb bracket. The center jamb bracket is the next tallest or the next higher number
marked on the jamb bracket. If three jamb brackets per side are included with your door, you
will have received a top jamb bracket, which is the tallest or the highest number marked on
the jamb bracket.
To attach the bottom jamb bracket, locate lower slot pattern of the 1st hole set on the vertical
track. Align the slot in the jamb bracket with the lower slot pattern. Loosely, secure jamb
bracket using (1) 1/4”-20 x 5/8” carriage bolt and (1) 1/4”-20 flange hex nut. Repeat for

hinges to the section surface using (2) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws at each end and
center stile location(s).
If your section does require a strut and to use strut clips (SC) to be
installed: Locate and center the strut on top of the graduated end hinges and the center
hinges onto the section surface. Center the strut side to side. Secure the strut, the graduated
end hinges, the center hinges to the section surface using the appropriate strut clip(s), (2)
1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws at each end and center stile location(s).
IMPORTANT: Once the 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws are snug against the
lower hinge leafs, tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn to receive maximum
design holding power.
IMPORTANT: Push & hold the hinge leaf securely against the section while
securing with 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws. There should be no gap
between the hinge leaf and the section.
Place a short stem track roller into each graduated end hinge.
IMPORTANT: When placing short stem track rollers into the #2 graduated
end hinges and higher, the short stem track roller goes into hinge tube
furthest away from section.
Repeat the same process for the graduated end and center hinge attachment for all remaining sections except the top section, using the appropriate graduated end hinges for the lock
section, the intermediate I section and the intermediate II section (if applicable). Also repeat
