For Torsion Springs Only
If your door has a torsion assembly, you must
make sure that the wood or steel anchor pad
is of good quality, free of cracks or splits, and
is firmly attached to the garage wall. (Fig. 1-J)
Failure to securely attach the anchor pad could
allow the springs to violently pull away from the
garage wall, and could result in severe injury and/
or property damage. Under no circumstances
should the anchor pad be attached with nails.
Refer to Figure 1-J & 2-J for the configuration of
2" x 6" wood jambs.
IMPORTANT: The wood anchor pad must be
made of a Grade 2 or better Southern Yellow
Pine (also known as Southern Pine or Yellow
Pine) 2" x 6" x 12" minimum. The Southern Yellow
Pine must be free of splits and cracks. Do not
use wood labeled as spruce-pine-fir (or SPF).
Steel anchor pads should be
1
/4" x 10" x 12"
minimum, securely fastened to the structure.
The wood anchor pad must be installed into the
frame of the garage with at least four
3
/8" x 3" long
lag screws (one at each corner). The four lag
screws must be installed no closer than 1
1
/2" from
the sides and the ends of the 2 x 6. These lag
screws must fasten into the structural frame of the
building, not the drywall or sheet rock. Wood anchor
pad and
3
/8" x 3" lag screws are not supplied.
NOTE: The anchor pad can be off-center to the
width of the opening by up to 10" in either
direction.
