If the total number of inches exceeds the height
available in your garage, use the maximum height
possible On finished ceilings, do not position the
bracket closer than 1/2" from ceiling,,
Measuring from top of door, draw a horizontal line on
the header wall at the determined height Position
bottom edge of header bracket on horizontal Hne,
centering bracket on vertical line. Mark either top
