FAILURE TO
SECURELY ATTACH A
SUITABLE MOUNTING PAD TO STRUCTURALLY
SOUND FRAMING COULD CAUSE SPRINGS TO
VIOLENTLY PULL MOUNTING PAD FROM WALL,
RESULTING IN SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
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®Plus 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 TorqueMaster®Plus 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 or trim the weather seal (if necessary) to the 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. This will keep the bottom
section from falling out of the opening during installation. Space
nails approximately 12” apart.
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.

Installation
Begin the installation of the door by checking the opening. It must be the same size as the door. Vertical jambs must be plumb and the
header level. Side clearance, from edge of door to wall, must be minimum of 3-1/2” (89 mm) on each side.
IMPORTANT: STAINLESS STEEL OR PT 2000 COATED LAG SCREWS MUST BE USED WHEN INSTALLING CENTER BEARING BRACKETS,
END BRACKETS, JAMB BRACKETS, OPERATOR MOUNTING/SUPPORT BRACKETS AND DISCONNECT BRACKETS ON TREATED LUMBER
(PRESERVATIVE-TREATED). STAINLESS STEEL LAG SCREWS ARE NOT NECESSARY WHEN INSTALLING PRODUCTS ON UNTREATED
LUMBER.
NOTE: It is recommended that 5/16” x 2” lag screws will be pilot drilled using a 3/16” drill bit, prior to fastening.
NOTE: If you have riveted track, skip steps, 1 through 2 and proceed to step3.

Vertical track must be cut to the proper
length prior to installation.
IMPORTANT: DOORS THAT ARE 7’-0” OR
8’-0” IN HEIGHT DO NOT REQUIRE CUTTING
THE VERTICAL TRACK.
Determine the radius of your horizontal
track.
NOTE: All Portland tracks have the radius
stamped on the side of the track.
Using this measurement, refer to the vertical
track cutting chart to determine the length
of the vertical track. Cut the track off at the
TOP.
Now, two holes must be drilled into the
top of the cut vertical track. Refer to the
illustration shown for hole locations. Use a
5/16” drill bit.
Repeat for other vertical track.
Measure the length of the vertical tracks.
Using the jamb bracket schedule, determine
the placement of the jamb brackets for your
door height.
To install the jamb brackets, align the
twistlock tab on the quick install jamb
bracket with the quick install feature in the
track and turn the bracket perpendicular to
the track so the mounting flange is toward
the back (flat) leg of the track.
