If headroom clearance is
minimal, you can install the
header bracket on the ceiling.
See page 14.
• If you need to install the
header bracket on a 2x4 (on
wall or ceiling), use lag screws
(not provided) to securely
fasten the 2x4 to structural
supports as shown.

door to the floor. Subtract the actual height of the
door. Add 8” to the remainder, (See Example).
• Close the door and draw an intersecting horizontal
line on the header wail at the determined height.
If the total number of inches exceeds the height
available in your garage, use the maximum
height possible, or refer to page 14 for ceiling
installation.
