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 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 Extension 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 jambs and header material. Any wood found
not to be sound, must be replaced.
Weather Seal (May Not Be Included):
Cut or trim the weather seal (if necessary) to the header and jambs.
For quick install track: Align the header seal with the inside edge of the
header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails.
Next,t the jamb seals up tight against the header seal and flush with the
inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally
spaced nails. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the
opening during installation.
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, 2-1/2 (64 mm) of additional
headroom is required.
NOTE: 6” LHR Conversion Kit is available for 12” Radius only. Contact your
local 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.
