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.

sure your section to make sure it is the correct height as indicated on the chart.
Place the bottom section face down on a couple of sawhorses or flat clean/ smooth surface.
Align the bottom weather seal with the flap pointing towards the outside surface of the
bottom section. Starting at one end of the door, measure inward 1” and attach the bottom
weather seal to the bottom of the bottom section with 3/4” long galvanized roofing nails
(not supplied). Now stretch the bottom weather seal slightly and nail the rest of the bottom
weather seal to the bottom of the bottom section every 6”. Once the bottom weather seal is
fastened cut off any extra material so that the bottom weather seal is even with both ends of
the bottom section.

manual to determine what size section you need to use as your intermediate I (second),
intermediate II (third) and intermediate III (fourth). Measure your section to make sure it is the
correct height as indicated on the chart.
NOTE: Make sure graduated end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another
section on top.
With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Keep-
ing the sections vertically aligned, lower section until it is seated against bottom section.
FOR CENTER HINGE(S): Starting with a center hinge, flip the upper hinge leaf up. If needed
use it as a template, mark and pre-drill (2) 9/32” diameter holes through the section. Attach
the upper hinge leaf to the section using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2-1/2” carriage bolts and (2) 1/4” -
20 flange hex nuts. Repeat same process for the other Center Hinges.
FOR HALF CENTER HINGE(S): Flip a upper hinge leaf up and use it as a template. Mark and
pre-drill (2) 1/8” pilot holes, 1” deep into the section with a 1/8” drill bit.
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”
DEEP.
Attach the center hinge upper leaf to the section using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 1” lag screws. Repeat
same process for other half center hinge(s).
FOR GRADUATED END HINGES: Starting with the outer graduated end hinges, flip the up-
per hinge leaf up. If needed use it as a template, mark and pre-drill (2) 9/32” diameter holes
through the section. Attach the upper hinge leaf to the section using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2-1/2”
carriage bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts. Repeat same process for the other side.
IF YOU HAVE DOUBLE GRADUATED END HINGES: Flip the inner upper hinge leaf up and
use it as a template. Mark and pre-drill (2) 1/8” pilot holes, 1” deep into the section with a
1/8” drill bit.
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”
DEEP.
Attach the inner upper hinge leaf to the section using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 1” lag screws. Repeat
same process for the other side.
Repeat same process for other sections, except top section.
Stacking Top Section
11
Place the top section in the opening. Temporarily secure the top section by driving a nail into
the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the
graduated end hinge and center hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center
hinges first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is
critical. For 2” track, position flag angle / wall angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4”
(44 mm) from the edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. For 3” track, position flag
angle / wall angle between 2-3/16” (56 mm) to 2-1/4” (57 mm) from the edge of the door;
tighten the bottom lag screw.

Counterbalance Lift Cable Adjustments
18
Adjust counterbalance lift cables to create about 1” to 2” (25 mm to 50 mm) of initial exten-
sion spring stretch, with the door in the fully opened position. Measure relaxed extension
spring length for your door height and verify with the chart below. Spring length must be the
same for both extension springs to allow even door balance. Carefully remove the locking
pliers from the horizontal track and lower the door into the closed position. Once the door is
closed, measure the extension spring length in tension for both sides. Using the chart, verify
the spring length in tension is correct with your door height.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust spring length for proper door balance.

Balancing Door
19
Lift door and check its balance. If door rises off floor more than 2 ft. under spring tension
alone, reduce spring tension by adjusting extension spring length, moving the “S” hook back-
ward (towards the rear back hangs) to a different hole in the horizontal track. If the door is
hard to rise or drifts down on its own, adjust extension spring length by moving the “S” hook
forward (towards the header) to a different hole in the horizontal track. A poorly balanced
door can cause garage door operator problems.
IMPORTANT: WHENEVER ADJUSTING EXTENSION SPRING LENGTH FOR DOOR BALANCE,
ALWAYS OPEN THE DOOR TO THE FULLY OPEN POSITION AND RETURN THE LOCKING
PLIERS, AS SHOWN IN F3 TO THE HORIZONTAL TRACKS BELOW THE BOTTOM TRACK
ROLLERS.
If the door still does not operate easily, raise the door into the open position, return the lock-
ing pliers, and recheck the following items:
1.) Is the door level?
2.) Are the flag angles level and plumb?
3.) Does the distance between the flag angles equal door width plus 3-3/8” to 3-1/2”?
4.) Do the counterbalance lift cables have equal tension? Adjust by re-tieing the special knot,
if necessary.
5.) Make sure door is not rubbing on jambs.
IMPORTANT: IF DOOR STILL DOES NOT BALANCE PROPERLY, THEN CONTACT A TRAINED
DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN.

MAINTENANCE
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.
10

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.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty is made to the origi-
nal purchaser of the Product only, and is not transferable or assignable. This

hardware, fire, failure to provide necessary maintenance, normal wear and tear,
exposure to salt or other corrosive environments, or acts of God or any other
cause beyond the reasonable control of Seller. This warranty also specifically
excludes all refinishing costs and any inconsistencies or occurrences related to
the characteristics or attributes of natural wood, including but not limited to: (i)
variations in the color or grain of Product sections, (ii) the emission or secretion
of tannins from the Product sections which may stain or alter the color of a
painted Product, and (iii) cracking, checking, lifting wood grain or cracking due
