NOTE

For lightweight garage doors, make sure you have installed

the proper reinforcement (See Check Door Condition and

Thickness on page 3).

A CAUTION

The Header Bracket must be fastened to the garage

framing. Do Not fasten the Header Bracket to drywall,

particle board, plaster, or other such material.

It may be necessary to attach a 2" x 6" board across the

wall studs above the door header to serve as a

mounting plate for the Header Bracket. The Bracket can

then be mounted at the proper location and have

sufficient support.

If a door spring is in the way, place the Header Bracket

above the spring. Do Not move the door spring.
