Installation
STEP 1 Determine the Header Bracket Location
Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door. You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet
(1.22m) of the left or right of the door center only if a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the
way; or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 16) when clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted
on the wall upside down, if necessary, to gain approximately 1/2” (1 cm). If you need to install the
header bracket on a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 2x4 to
structural supports as shown here and on page 16.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the
header wall 2” (5 cm) above the high point:
l 2” (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and one-piece door with track.
l 8” (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door without track.
This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge of the door. NOTE: If the total number of
inches exceeds the height available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer
to page 16 for ceiling installation.
