Before you start, make sure that the tracks are level
and square to the front of the building. Use your level
to set the track level and measure the diagonals from
the back of one track to the front of the other. The
diagonals must be equal. See illustration in door
manufacturer’s instructions.
Cut a piece of perforated angle to fit vertically as
shown and fasten it to the track extension angle with
a 5/16” x 3/4” hex bolt, lock washer and nut. Fasten
the top portion to the rafter with two Painted self-
drilling screws with rubber washers (the same screws
you used to attach the sheet metal to your building).

Now, cut a piece of perforated angle to create an
angle brace as shown and attach it to the track exten-
sion just above the extension with a 5/16” x 3/4” hex
bolt, lock washer and nut. Attach the brace to the
rafter with a painted self-drilling screw.
IF YOUR BUILDING HAS FRAME SECTIONS ON 4’ CENTERS, YOU WILL NOT NEED A PERFORATED TRACK
EXTENSION. YOU WILL ATTACH THE END OF THE DOOR TRACK TO THE RAFTER WITH A VERTICAL BRACE
AND AN ANGLE BRACE AS SHOWN ABOVE RIGHT. THE VERTICAL BRACE WILL ATTACH TO THE LARGE
HOLE AT THE BACK OF THE DOOR TRACK.
ATTACHING THE SPRING HOOK (EYE BOLT)
With a low headroom kit you will mount the spring
hook to the vertical brace as high as you can above
the track extension. Place a flanged, locking hex nut
on the eye bolt the full extension of the threads with
the flange to the rear. Insert the bolt through the verti-
cal brace and install another flanged hex nut as
shown. Tighten the nuts.
ATTACHING THE SPRING HOOK (EYE BOLT)
The spring hook should be attached to the vertical
brace about 12” above the track extension. Place a
flanged, locking hex nut on the eye bolt the full exten-
sion of the threads with the flange to the rear. Insert
the bolt through the vertical brace and install another
flanged hex nut as shown. Tighten the nuts.
