Removing an Existing Door
and Preparing the Opening
IMPORTANT: COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION MUST ALWAYS BE RELEASED BEFORE
ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO START REMOVING AN EXISTING DOOR.
WARNING
A POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING ITS ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. TO AVOID INJURY, HAVE A TRAINED DOOR

To avoid possible injury and to insure proper installation, it's highly recommended that you
read and fully understand the complete instructions on removing an Existing Door & Prepar-
ing the Opening. These are available for download at www.Wayne-Dalton.com or at your
local Wayne Dalton Sales Center.
IMPORTANT: 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 spring anchor 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 Torsion 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).
IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD
FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE REPLACED.
For Torsion counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be firmly
attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening.
2
Pre-Installation

NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not
attach the mounting surface with nails.
WEATHERSTRIPS (MAY NOT BE INCLUDED):
Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if neces-
sary) to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.
For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside the header edge, and temporarily
secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side of the jamb, fit the
weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the header and 1/8”
to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with equally spaced nails.
Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening during
installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
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” low headroom 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.
*NOTE: For door heights from 10’1” to 14’0”, refer to your operator manufacture installation
instructions for appropriate depth into room.

Door Section Identification
When installing your door, you must use sections of the appropriate height in the right stack-
ing location. Determine, what sections you need to use in what order depends on the design
of your door.
Sections are stamped for identification, #1, #2, #3, and #4 (#4 only on four section high
doors). The stamp, located on each side of the sections identifies the stacking sequence. The
sequence is always determined by #1 being the bottom section to #3 or #4 being the highest
top section. If the stamp on the section is illegible, refer to the section side view illustration.
The section side view illustration shows the section profile of all sections, and can also be
used to identify each section.
The BOTTOM SECTION can be identified by #1.
The INTERMEDIATE I SECTION can be identified by #2.
The INTERMEDIATE II SECTION can be identified by #3, for a 4 section high door only.
The TOP SECTION can be identified either by a #3, for a 3 section high door or by a #4, for
a 4 section high door.

DOOR INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing your door, be certain that you have read and followed all of the instruc-
tions covered in the pre-installation section of this manual. Failure to do so may result in an
improperly installed door.
NOTE: Reference TDS 160 for general garage door terminology at www.dasma.com.
IMPORTANT: WOOD DOORS MUST BE COMPLETELY FINISHED (3 TOTAL COATS, INCLUDING
PRIMER COAT) PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, TO ENSURE THAT THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR
SURFACES, AS WELL AS ALL EDGES OF THE DOORS ARE PROPERLY PROTECTED AGAINST
MOISTURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS. WOOD DOORS, IN A NON-FINISHED CONDITION,
MUST BE TRANSPORTED AND STORED SO THE WOOD SURFACES ARE NOT EXPOSED
TO MOISTURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS. IMPROPER TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE OR
DELAYS IN FINISHING, THAT ALLOWS EXPOSURE OF THE WOOD DOOR SURFACES TO MOIS-
TURE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS WILL RESULT IN THE WARRANTY BEING VOIDED.
Attaching Flag Angles and Jamb Brackets To
Vertical Tracks

NOTE: If you have Riveted Track or Angle Mount Track, skip this step.
Hand tighten the left hand flag angle to the left hand vertical track using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16”
track bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts.
NOTE: The bottom jamb bracket is always the shortest bracket, while the center jamb
bracket is the next tallest. If three jamb brackets per side are included with your door, you will
have received a top jamb bracket, which is the tallest.
To attach the bottom jamb bracket, locate lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern of the 1st hole
set on the vertical track. Align the slot in the jamb bracket with the lower hole of the hole/ slot
pattern. Hand tighten jamb bracket using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” – 20
flange hex nut.
Place the center jamb bracket over the lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern that is centered
between the bottom jamb bracket and flag angle of the 2nd hole set. Hand tighten jamb
bracket using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nut.
If a top jamb bracket was included, hand tighten it to vertical track using the lower hole of the
hole/ slot pattern in the 3rd hole set and (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20
flange hex nut.

Attaching Center Bracket to Wall
15
NOTE: Refer to Package Contents / Breakdown of Parts, to determine which Center
Bracket(s) came with your door.
NOTE: Drill 3/16” pilot holes into header for the lag screws.
NOTE: Refer to Package Contents / Breakdown of Parts, to determine if your door came with
a coupler assembly. If your door came with a coupler assembly, the mounting surface needs
to be a minimum of 17” wide. The two center bearing brackets will need to be spaced 12” to
14” apart at the center of the door, as shown.
NOTE: If your door came with (4) springs, each of the outer springs mounting surface will
need to be a minimum of 3” wide.
NOTE: If needed, measure the diameter of your springs. If you have a one piece shaft with
3-3/4” diameter springs, they do not share center brackets and do not have a coupler as-
sembly.
First, locate the center of the door. Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above
the door, at the center. Measure from the center of the bearing, in one of the end bearing
12

brackets, downwards, to the top the door. Using that measurement, measure that distance
upwards from the top of the door to the mounting surface and mark a horizontal pencil line
which intersects the vertical pencil line.

IF YOUR DOOR DID NOT COME WITH A CENTER COUPLER ASSEMBLY OR TORSION
SPRINGS LESS THAN 3-3/4” ID: Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above
the door, at the center. Align the edge of the center bracket with the vertical pencil line and
the center of the center bracket with the horizontal pencil line; this is to ensure the torsion
shaft is level between the center and end bearing brackets.
NOTE: On some single spring doors, the spring can be longer than half the opening width. If
your spring is longer, then the center bracket must be mounted off center for the spring to fit
properly. Measure spring length adding room for spring growth during winding, to determine
appropriate center bracket location.

center. Split the difference up and position the (2) center bearing brackets apart from each
other. Mark two vertical pencil lines, one for each center bearing bracket onto the mounting
surface above the door.
NOTE: If your door came with a center coupler assembly or if it utilizes 3-3/4” springs, the
springs will not share a center bracket.
NOTE: If your door has (4) springs, split the distance between the center of the door and the
end bracket on each side to locate the intermediate center brackets.
Attach each of the center bracket(s) to the mounting surface, using 5/16” RED HEAD lag
screws, as shown.
IMPORTANT: USE A 5/16” X 2-1/2” RED HEAD LAG SCREW INSTEAD OF THE 5/16” X

Attaching Counterbalance Lift Cables
18
Starting on the left hand side, thread the counterbalance lift cable up and around the front
side of the left hand cable drum.
IMPORTANT: VERIFY THAT THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE TRAVEL PATH OF THE
DOOR SECTIONS OR COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES.
NOTE: Always assemble the left hand cable and cable drum first to help maintain equal cable
tension on both sides of the door.
Hook the counterbalance lift cable into the left hand cable drum. Slide the left hand cable
drum up against the left hand end bearing bracket. Counterbalance lift cable should termi-
nate at the 3 o’clock position.
NOTE: If you have torsion keyed shaft(s), insert (1) key into the slot of both the cable drum
and the slot in the torsion keyed shaft, as shown.
Rotate the left hand drum and torsion shaft until counterbalance lift cable is taut. Now attach
locking pliers to the torsion shaft and brace locking pliers up against jamb to keep counter-
balance lift cable taut. Tighten the set screws in the drum to 14-15 ft-lbs of torque (once set
screws contact the torsion shaft, tighten screws an additional 1/2 turn for solid shaft and one
full turn for tubular shaft). Repeat for right hand side.
IMPORTANT: INSPECT EACH COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE MAKING SURE IT IS SEATED
PROPERLY ONTO THE CABLE DRUM AND THAT BOTH COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES HAVE
EQUAL TENSION.
CHECK COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES FOR EQUAL TENSION:
1. Attach locking pliers to track above top roller.
2. Grasp cable at approximate mid-door height location.
3. Draw cable toward you about 1/2” to 1” and release, noting the response of the cable.
4. Repeat above steps for other cable.
5. Adjust cable tension as needed until right and left cables both respond the same.
Once the counterbalance cables are set and if applicable tighten the coupler assembly
together by tightening the (3) 3/8” - 16 nylon hex nuts to secure the coupler halves together.

a. Counterbalance lift cables are secured at bottom corner brackets.
b. Counterbalance lift cables are routed unobstructed to cable drums.
c. Counterbalance lift cables are correctly installed and wound onto cable lift drums.
d. Counterbalance lift cables are taut and have equal tension on both sides.
e. Cable lift drums are against end bearing brackets and set screws are tight.
f. Torsion spring or springs are installed correctly.
g. Review the label attached to the spring warning tag, to determine number of spring turns
required.
NOTE: Door MUST be closed and locked when winding or making any adjustments to the
torsion spring(s).

WARNING
WINDING SPRING IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE
AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM
TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
USE ONLY SPECIFIED WINDING BARS, AS STATED IN STEP
SECURING DOOR FOR SPRING WINDING. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE WITH
SCREWDRIVERS, PIPE, ETC. OTHER TOOLS MAY FAIL OR RELEASE FROM
THE SPRING CONE AND CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
WARNING
PRIOR TO WINDING THE SPRING, ENSURE YOU’RE WINDING IN THE
PROPER DIRECTION AS SHOWN BELOW. OTHERWISE THE SPRING
FITTING MAY RELEASE FROM SPRING AND RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL
INJURY.
Position a ladder slightly to the side of the spring so that the winding cone is easily acces-
sible, and so your body is not directly in line with the winding bars.
Check the label attached to the spring warning tag for the required number of complete turns
to balance your door.
HOW TO WIND TORSION SPRINGS:
1. Insert one winding rod snugly into winding cone, to full socket depth
2. Maintaining a tight grip on the winding rod rotate it slowly in the proper direction, as
shown below.
3. If there is any slippage of the winding rod in the winding cone socket, reverse the direction
of winding and return the cone to its original position. Remove the winding rod from the
winding cone socket. Reseat the winding rod in the socket. Start over at Step #1.
4. When the winding rod is vertical above the winding cone, insert another winding rod into
one of the other sockets, being careful to seat it snugly and at full socket depth.
5. Hold the spring with the second winding bar, and remove the first.
6. Repeat Steps #2 through #5 until the complete turns have been applied.
IMPORTANT: AFTER WINDING THE SPRING(S), TIGHTEN THE SET SCREWS IN THE WINDING
CONE TO 14-15 FT-LBS OF TORQUE (ONCE SET SCREWS CONTACT THE TORSION SHAFT,
TIGHTEN SCREWS AN ADDITIONAL 1/2 TURN FOR SOLID SHAFT AND ONE FULL TURN FOR
TUBULAR SHAFT).

Balancing Door
24
Remove locking pliers. Lift door and check its balance. Adjustments to the required number
of spring turns stated may be necessary. If door rises off floor more than 2 ft. under spring
tension alone, reduce spring tension. If the door is hard to rise or drifts down on its own, add
spring tension. A poorly balanced door can cause garage door operator problems.
To adjust spring tension, fully close door. Apply locking pliers to track above third track roller.
Place locking pliers on torsion shaft, as shown in Step Attaching Counterbalance Lift Cables.
Insert a winding rod into the winding cone. Push upward on the winding rod slightly while
carefully loosening the set screws in the winding cone.
IMPORTANT: BE PREPARED TO SUPPORT THE FULL FORCE OF THE TORSION SPRING ONCE
THE SET SCREWS ARE LOOSE.
Carefully adjust spring tension 1/4 turn. Retighten both set screws to 14-15 ft. lbs. of torque
in the winding cone and repeat for the other side. Recheck door balance and re-adjust spring
tension if needed.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADJUST MORE THAN 1 TURN FROM THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER
OF TURNS.
If the door still does not operate easily, lower the door into the closed position, unwind
spring(s) completely, and recheck the following items:
1.) Is the door level?
2.) Are the torsion shaft and flag angles / angle mount level and plumb?
3.) Does the distance between the flag angles / angle mount equal door width plus 3-3/8” to
3-1/2”?
4.) Do the counterbalance lift cables have equal tension? Adjust if necessary.
5.) Rewind the spring(s).
6.) Make sure door is not rubbing on jambs.
IMPORTANT: IF DOOR STILL DOES NOT BALANCE PROPERLY, THEN CONTACT A TRAINED
DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN.

At the center of the top section, measure horizontally from the top of center hinge to the
bottom of strut. Using that dimension, measure and cut (2) pieces of perforated angles.
Assemble the (2) pieces together using (2) 3/8” bolts and nuts (supplied by others). Now,
secure to the top section using carriage bolts and nuts (supplied by others), thru bolt both the
perforated angles to the top section, as shown.
Align the door arm with hole with one of the holes in the perforated angles. Secure the door
arm to the perforated angle using (1) 5/16” - 18 x 1” hex head bolt and (1) 5/16” - 18 lock
nut (supplied by others), as shown.

Lift Handles
NOTE: Lift handles must be lined up vertically.
BOTTOM SECTION: Locate the exterior center stile or center most stile on the bottom sec-
tion.
NOTE: For flush doors, find the center most stile by locating the center most hinge.
Using the bottom hole of the lift handle, measure up 3” from the bottom of bottom section.
Mark the hole locations and drill (2) 9/32” dia. holes through the bottom section. On the out-
side of the door, insert (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2 1/2” carriage bolts (black head) into the outside lift
handle and insert the assembly into the (2) pre-drilled holes in the bottom section. From the
inside, slide the (2) holes in the inside lift handle over the stems of the carriage bolts. Secure
the outside and inside lift handle to the bottom section with (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts.
INTERMEDIATE I SECTION: Locate the exterior center stile or center most stile on the
Intermediate I section. Mark a vertical line on the section at that point.
NOTE: Some Garage Doors may require both lift handles to be installed on bottom section.
If your bottom section height is 28” or 29”, install both lift handles onto the bottom section.
Install bottom lift handle per above instructions, then install the second lift handle a Minimum
of 20” and a Maximum of 30” above the bottom lift handle.
Measure up 4” from the bottom of the Intermediate I section. Using this measurement as
a guide, position the bottom hole of the lift handle bottom at the mark. Make a mark at the
top hole of the lift handle. This should give you a Minimum of 20” and a Maximum of 30”
between the lower lift handle and the middle of the top lift handle. If needed, reposition the
lift handle to stay within the Minimum and Maximum dimensions, as stated above.
Using the lift handle as a template, mark the hole locations and drill (2) 9/32” dia. holes
through the section. On the outside of the door, insert (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2-1/2” carriage bolts
(black head) into the outside lift handle and insert the assembly into the (2) pre-drilled holes
in the section. From the inside, slide the (2) holes in the inside lift handle over the stems of
the carriage bolts. Secure the outside and inside lift handle to the section with (2) 1/4” - 20
flange hex nuts.

Cleaning Your Garage Door
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!
An annual inspection of all the surfaces of your garage door(s) will reveal the extent of weath-
ering and the possible need for refinishing. When the finish becomes eroded or thin, clean
and prime any areas showing deterioration. Then completely refinish the door, according to
the directions, listed below, or the manufacturer’s label directions. Proper finishing of the
wood substrates to protect your door(s) from the effects of moisture and sunlight is vital in
extending the service life and beautifying your garage door(s).
The interior and exterior surfaces, as well as all edges must be properly primed, painted and
maintained, to protect and beautify your door. These finishing instructions are intended to
achieve both objectives for your wood doors(s).
NOTE: Be sure to clean behind weatherstrips on both sides and top of door.
CAUTION
NEVER MIX CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
GLASS CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean with a mild detergent solution (same as above) and a soft cloth. After cleaning, rinse
thoroughly.
ACRYLIC CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean acrylic glazing with nonabrasive soap or detergent and plenty of water. Use your bare
hands to feel and dislodge any caked on particles. A soft, grit-free cloth, sponge or chamois
may be used to wipe the surface. Do not use hard or rough cloths that will scratch the acrylic
glazing. Dry glazing with a clean damp chamois.
NOTE: Do not use any window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths or solvent-
based cleaners of any kind.
Painting Your Garage Door
Refer to Instruction Insert “Field Painting Wood Door Sections”.
Maintaining The Finish On
Your Garage Door
If the finish is beginning to fade, the door may require a field applied top clear coat. Depend-
ing on environment and usage, this may be necessary after 1 to 3 years of use. Refer to
Instruction Insert “Field Painting Wood Door Sections”.
Operation And Maintenance
OPERATING YOUR GARAGE DOOR: Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to
the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual. When correctly installed, your
Wayne Dalton door will operate smoothly. Always operate your door with controlled move-
ments. Do not slam your door or throw your door into the open position, this may cause dam-
age to the door or its components. If your door has an electric opener, refer to the owner’s
manual to disconnect the opener before performing manual door operation below.
MANUAL DOOR OPERATION: For additional information on manual garage door operations
go to www.dasma.com and reference TDS 165.
WARNING
DO NOT PLACE FINGERS OR HANDS INTO SECTION JOINTS WHEN
OPENING AND/OR CLOSING A DOOR. ALWAYS USE LIFT HANDLES /
SUITABLE GRIPPING POINTS WHEN OPERATING THE DOOR MANUALLY.
OPENING A DOOR: Make sure the lock(s) are in the unlocked position. Lift the door by using
the lift handles / suitable gripping points only. Door should open with little resistance.
CLOSING A DOOR: From inside the garage, pull door downward using lift handles / gripping
point only. If you are unable to reach the lift handles/ suitable gripping points only, use pull
down rope affixed to the side of door. Door should close completely with little resistance.
USING AN ELECTRIC OPERATOR:
IMPORTANT: PULL DOWN ROPES MUST BE REMOVED AND LOCKS MUST BE REMOVED OR
MADE INOPERATIVE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION.
When connecting a drawbar (trolley type) garage door operator to this door, a drawbar opera-
tor bracket must be securely attached to the top section of the door, along with any struts
provided with the door. Always use the drawbar operator bracket supplied with the door. To
avoid possible damage to your door, Wayne Dalton recommends reinforcing the top section
with a strut (may or may not be supplied). The installation of the drawbar operator must be
according to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted properly. Refer
to the owner’s manual supplied with your drawbar operator for complete details on installa-
tion, operation, maintenance and testing of the operator.
MAINTAINING YOUR GARAGE DOOR: Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to
the door and the installation instructions and owner’s manual. Perform routine maintenance
steps once a month, and have the door professionally inspected once a year. Review your
Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual for the garage door. These instructions are
available at no charge from Wayne Dalton, a division of Overhead Door Corporation, P.O. Box
67, Mt. Hope, OH., 44660, or at www.Wayne-Dalton.com. For additional information on
garage door/operator maintenance go to www.dasma.com and reference TDS 151, 167
and 179.
Monthly Inspections:
1. Visual Inspection: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting surface. Any material
found not to be structurally sound must be replaced. It may be necessary to uninstall part
or all of the door assembly in order to replace defective material. Refer to the supplemental
instructions “Removing an Existing Door / Preparing the Opening” at www.Wayne-Dalton.
com. Inspect the spring(s), counterbalance lift cables, track rollers, pulleys, rear back hangs
and other door hardware for signs of worn or broken parts. Tighten any loose screws and/or
bolts, except on bottom corner brackets or on the counterbalance assembly. Check exterior
surface of the door sections for any minor cracks. Verify door has not shifted right or left in
the opening. If you suspect problems, contact a trained door system technician.
WARNING
GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS, COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLES, BRACKETS,
AND OTHER HARDWARE ATTACHED TO THE SPRINGS ARE UNDER
EXTREME TENSION, AND IF HANDLED IMPROPERLY, CAN CAUSE
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. ONLY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS
TECHNICIAN SHOULD ADJUST THEM, BY CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
NEVER REMOVE, ADJUST, OR LOOSEN THE BOLTS, SCREWS AND/OR LAG
SCREWS ON THE COUNTERBALANCE (END BEARING BRACKETS, DRUMS
OR SPRING SYSTEM) OR BOTTOM CORNER BRACKETS OF THE DOOR.
THESE BRACKETS ARE CONNECTED TO THE SPRING(S) AND ARE UNDER
EXTREME TENSION. TO AVOID POSSIBLE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY,
HAVE ANY SUCH WORK PERFORMED BY A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEMS
TECHNICIAN USING PROPER TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
TORQUEMASTER®PLUS SPRINGS: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster®end brack-
ets above the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case
of spring failure or forceful manual operation.
EXTENSION SPRINGS: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the exten-
sion spring (located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.
2. Door Balance: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door
drawbar operator, use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when
doing this test. Start with the door in the fully closed position. Using handles or suitable grip-
ping points, lift the door to check its balance. Adjust TorqueMaster® or Extension spring(s),
if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to pull down). DO NOT
attempt to repair or adjust Torsion Springs yourself. To adjust TorqueMaster® or Extension
spring(s), refer to your installation instructions and owner’s manual. If in question about
any of the procedures, do not perform the work. Instead, have it adjusted by a trained door
systems technician.
3. Lubrication: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door track rollers are
rotating freely when opening and closing the door. If track rollers do not rotate freely, clean
the door tracks, removing dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-
silicon based lubricant) graduated end hinges, center hinges, steel track rollers, bearings and
torsion springs (torsion spring coil surfaces). DO NOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon
track rollers, door track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult use a graphite dust
to lubricate.
