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 TorqueMaster
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 TorqueMaster counterbalance systems, a suitable
mounting surface (2” x 4”) 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.
Weather seal (may not be included) / Door stop:
Cut the weather seal or door stop (if necessary) to fit
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, fit 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 approximately 12” to 18” apart.
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
spaced 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 or door
stop 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.
BACKROOM REQUIREMENT: Backroom is defined as the
distance needed from the opening back into the garage to
allow the door to open fully.
