Installation Instructions

Step 5 Installing Additional Door Sections
Follow the door manufacturer’s instructions and assemble door section 2. Note that each door section uses a different
height hinge at the ends of the door and the same size hinge in the center of the door.
When the second door section is assembled, install the rollers and install the door section into the vertical door tracks
sliding it down from the top of the tracks. With the section in place attach the door hinges connecting section one to sec-
tion two.
Repeat this assembly for door section three. If your door is taller than 7’ install all but the top section. The top section will
be installed after the horizontal track (and low headroom kit if required) is installed.
Step 6 Installing Low Headroom Kit or Double Track and Horizontal Door Tracks
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the Low Headroom Kit to assemble the kit to the horizontal tracks.
Note: The Perforated Angle and the 5/16” x 3/4” hex bolts, lock washers and nuts are not provided and must be pur-
chased separately. The length of angle you will need will depend on building height and door configuration. You will need
8 of the hex bolts, lock washers and nuts. You should have enough self-drilling screws left over from the building
assembly.
If the Versatube building that you have has 4’ on center frame spacing you will tie the back of the horizontal tracks up to
the rafter above at the end of the tracks. If the your building has the frame sections on 4 1/2’ or 5’ centers you will have to
add an extension
piece of perforated angle (1 1/2” x 1 1/2” x 16 GA.) to your tracks. This extension will allow you to
connect the vertical perforated angle to the rafter above. (See illustration on next page)
For 4 1/2’ on center buildings cut two pieces of Perforated Angle (1 1/2” x 1 1/2” x 16 GA.) 16” long. For 5’ on center
frames cut the angle lengths to 28”. Measure from the back of the horizontal tracks 8 3/4” and make a mark on the out-
side of the track. Place the extension angle piece on the track as shown with the end of the angle extension lined up with
your mark. Clamp the track and extension angle together and drill two 5/16” hole through the door track using the two of
the holes in the perforated angle as a guide. (See illustration)

Step 7
Attach the Horizontal Tracks to the Vertical Tracks following the manufacturer’s instructions. If you are attaching a low
headroom kit you will also refer to the instructions included with that kit. To temporally support the back of the tracks use
a string tied to the back of the perforated angle extensions. You should be able to find a place to lace the string through
the sheet metal and over the rafter. If you prefer, you can drive a self-drilling screw into the side of the rafter part way and
tie the string to the screw.
The back of the perforated angle extension (that you attached to the horizontal tracks) will be fastened vertically to the
rafter above with a piece of perforated angle and a brace piece placed at an angle. Use 5/16” x 3/4” hex bolts with lock
washers and nuts to attach the angle pieces together and #12 x 3/4” painted self-drilling screws with rubber washer (the
same screws you used to attach the sheet metal on the building) to attach the perforated angles to the rafter above.
Note: The perforated angle and 5/16” x 3/4” hex bolts, lock washers and nuts are not provided with the garage door or
conversion kit. They must be purchased separately. See illustration on next page.
