ATTACHMENT OF DOOR TRACK WITH & WITHOUT EXTENSION ANGLE TO RAFTER IN BUILDING

WITHOUT A LOW HEADROOM KIT INSTALLED.

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 back of the track, or the 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 extension 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)

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 extension 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.
