If you just removed your existing door or you are installing a
new door, complete all steps in PREPaRING ThE OPENING.
To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side
and center brackets, or steel angles to new or retro-fit
construction, it is recommended to follow the procedures
outlined in DasMa Technical Data sheets #156, #161 and
#164 at www.dasma.com.
The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should
be framed with wood jamb and header material. The jambs
and header must be securely fastened to sound framing
members. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used.
The jambs must be plumb and the header level. The jambs
should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the top of
the opening for TorqueMaster counterbalance systems. For
low headroom applications, the jambs should extend to the
ceiling height. Minimum side clearance required, from the
opening to the wall, is 3-1/2” (89 mm).

For TorqueMaster counterbalance systems, a suitable
mounting surface (2” x 4”) must be firmly attached to the
wall, above the header at the center of the opening.
NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to
avoid splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting
surface with nails.
weather Seal (May Not Be Included):
Cut the weather seal (if necessary) to fit header and jambs.
for quick install track: align the header seal with the inside
edge of the header and temporarily secure it to the header
with equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight
against the header seal and flush with the inside edge of
the jamb. Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally
spaced nails approximately 12” to 18” apart. This will keep
the bottom section from falling out of the opening during
installation.
for fully adjustable track: align the header seal 1/8” to
1/4” inside the header and temporarily secure it to the
header with equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals
up tight against the header seal and 1/8” to 1/4” inside
the jamb. Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally
spaced nails approximately 12” to 18” apart. This will keep
the bottom section from falling out of the opening during
installation.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jamb
at this time.
hEADROOM REqUIREMENT: headroom is defined as the
space needed above the top of the door for tracks, springs,
etc. to allow the door to open properly. If the door is to be
motor operated, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is
required.
NOTE: 6” lhR Conversion kit is available for 12” Radius only.
Contact your local Wayne-Dalton dealer.
BACkROOM REqUIREMENT: backroom is defined as the
distance needed from the opening back into the garage to
allow the door to open fully.
