ONE-PIECE DOOR INSTALLATIONS

• Generally, a one-piece door does not require

reinforcement. If your door is lightweight, refer to the
information relating to sectional doors in Installation
Step 11.

• Depending on your door’s construction, you may need

additional mounting hardware for the door bracket
(Step 11).

ONE-PIECE DOOR WITHOUT TRACK

Without a properly working safety reversal system,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage
door.
• The gap between the bottom of the garage door

and the fl oor MUST NOT exceed 1/4" (6 mm).
Otherwise, the safety reversal system may NOT
work properly.

• The fl oor or the garage door MUST be repaired to

eliminate the gap.
