You will use Door Jamb Trim to trim out the garage door. Trim the door header first. To prepare the door trim to fit the

door header you must make a series of cuts and folds at both ends. See the illustrations below. Depending on your

door width, door trim may come in lengths of 8’, 9’, or 10’ lengths. If you door is over 9’ wide you will be overlapping

two pieces of trim to trim out the door header. The door jambs will be one piece of trim.

Cutting the ends of the door header trim: If you have a 9’ wide door, cut a piece of trim to 9’-6 1/2” long. If your

door is over 9’ wide your door header trim will be two overlapping pieces. Illustration A is a back view of the trim. Clip

one piece out of the 3 1/2” flange 2” x 3 1/4” and one piece from the 1 1/2” flange 1 1/2” x 3 1/4”. These cut outs are

shown in grey. Also make a 1 1/2” clip in the front lower corner of the 3 1/2” flange. Turn the trim around to the front

side (illustration B) and make a 1 1/2” clip in the upper corner as shown. Now, fold bottom tab (1) up, front tab (2)

inward and top tab (3) downward to close the end of the part. Now go to the other end of the trim if you have a 9’ wide

door and repeat this procedure on another end. If your header trim will be two overlapped pieces, get another piece

of trim and cut the left end as you did the right end piece. Remember that all of the cuts will now be for the left side of

the door header and the cuts illustrated will be reversed.
