STEP 10 - Reinforcing the Top Section
for Opener
To avoid damage to your door, you must reinforce the top
section of the door in order to provide a mounting point for the
opener to be attached. You will need one (1) or three (3) pieces
of 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" minimum punched angle at least 13 gauge or
3/32" thick from your local hardware or building supply store.
Figures 10-A to 10-D show how punched angle is to be afxed
to door. Angle iron may need to be trimmed depending on door
section height and distance between center stiles.
Do NOT install the bracket supplied with the opener.
Failure to reinforce the door, as illustrated, will void
your warranty.
Required Materials:
(1) 18" or 21" length of angle iron,
(2) #14 x 5/8" sheet metal screws,
and (2) 1/4" x 3/4" self tapping screws.
