DANGER!

DOOR WILL BE UNDER CONSTANT SPRING TENSION. ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS SHOULD BE
PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED DOOR SERVICE
COMPANY.

WARNING!

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS INVALIDATES THE WARRANTY. BEFORE YOU
BEGIN THE INSTALLATION, READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS
WE RECOMMEND THAT INSTALLATION AND/OR REPAIR OF GARAGE DOORS BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED GARAGE DOOR INSTALLER.
We recommend that a team of two individuals perform the installation.
The garage door opening MUST be the same size as the door. The opening must be framed with 2" x 6" min. wood jambs.
The jambs must be plumb and the header level for a square opening. The jambs should extend to the same height as the
headroom required. All jamb fasteners should be flush with jambs and securely anchored to the wall.

Both one and two-car doors are installed in the same manner. Door widths up to 14' do not require struts unless required
for windload or electric opener reinforcing.

Number of door sections and number of panels may vary from illustrations.
Be sure all warning labels and tags are properly affixed to door and that the Homeowner Information Bag is posted on
the door jamb and the warranty information is filled out.
Notice to Architects and Designers
Architects and designers should consider when designing a building the forces a garage door system transmits to the
building structure openings, such as the jambs, anchor pads, headers, and horizontal track. Since these forces vary, load
information may be obtained by contacting your distributor (see contact information on cover).
THESE ARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR REINFORCEMENT. YOUR DOOR MAY REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL REINFORCEMENT TO MEET SPECIFIC WIND LOAD REQUIREMENTS. IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL FOR SPECIFIC WIND
LOAD REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Damage to the garage door due to an improperly installed or adjusted electric opener is not covered by your warranty.

Electric Door Attachment:

In the event that an electric opener is installed, the top section must be reinforced, as shown in these instructions, with
either a strut or with a single piece of 14-gauge angle iron spanning the entire length of the top section. When installing
a garage door opener, the following applies:
1.

The door springs must be in good working order and the door must be balanced (should be able to raise the
door way and have the door stay open).

2.

The top section of the door MUST be reinforced in order to provide a connection point for the opener lifting
arm, as illustrated in these instructions.

3.

Disconnect and/or remove all locks and pull ropes. Attempting to use the opener while the door is locked will
damage your garage door.

Maintenance for Overhead Sectional Steel Garage Door and Opener

The following maintenance and inspections should be performed every six (6) months:
Exterior Surface*
Washing your door with light (non abrasive) soapy water will help keep your door looking like new. It will also help to remove any corrosive (i.e.
salt) residue that may be on the surface of your door. (Example: 5 gallons of water to 1 cup of Tide). Car wash can be used to further protect the
finish.
*Wash your door once a month in areas 1.24 miles or less from excessive salt atmospheres.
Painting for Steel Garage Doors: (NOTE: PAINTING DOOR VOIDS THE PAINT FINISH WARRANTY)
The factory applied finish on your metal garage door is a baked-on coating, designed to give trouble free performance for years with little service
required. To paint, follow these instructions:
1. Close door, wipe down, and clean entire door with mild detergent to remove dirt. Rinse clean with water.
2. When door is dry, paint with two coats of high-grade exterior latex based paint. DO NOT USE AN OIL-BASED PAINT.
3. Follow paint manufacturer's instructions and avoid painting at temperatures below 50 degrees F.
For complete instructions on "How to Paint Steel Garage Doors", contact your distributor.
Track, Hinges, Rollers
Light oil (Example: 10W-30 motor oil) all sheaves,
non-plastic rollers, roller shafts and hinges as needed.
(Note: Nylon rollers DO NOT need any type of lubricant
added, these are self-lubricating).
Check springs and cable for wear and binding.
Inspection track alignment, the track should measure a minimum
of 3/8" from the edge of the door. Backhang angle and sway braces
should be tight and secure.

Torsion Springs
It is not recommended that anyone other than a garage door service professional lubricate or adjust torsion springs. (Note: these components are under
high tension and can cause severe injury).
Every Two Months
Weather-strip
Weather-stripping that is made of vinyl and rubber materials should be cleaned with an all-purpose vinyl cleanser. The backside of the
Weather-stripping should be cleaned to remove dust, dirt and debris which may abrade the front painted surface.
Lubricate the flexible weather-stripping every two months (more frequently for high usage doors) with a silicon-based oil. (Do not use petroleumbased oils, as this will cause loss of elasticity. Petroleum attacks the rubber and decreases its flexibility.)
(Note: It is recommended to paint over the flexible portion of the weather-strip.)
Every Month
Automatic Garage Door Opener
Lightly lubricate the opener track and trolley. Read the instructions, provided by the manufacturer of the opener, carefully as special lubricants may
be recommended.
Every month close the door then disconnect the opener by pulling the release pull cord straight down and raise and lower the door several times by
hand using the lift handle supplied. A properly balanced spring and door system will balance at all intervals of operation. (Note: If you have difficulty
opening the door, your opener will have the same difficulty. Should the spring system need any necessary adjusting, this is to be performed by a
garage door service professional.)
Many garage door openers can be equipped with accessory safety devices. Consider adding an electric eye or edge sensor as an extra measure of
safety to protect against entrapment.
Safety Precautions
Your door is constructed of high quality components to provide years of continued service. Since it is a large moving object, periodic maintenance
along with the following cautionary directions should be observed to ensure safe and reliable operation:
Should your door become hard to operate or completely inoperative, it is recommended that a garage door service professional be contacted.
Do not operate the door if you can not see the door.
Operate door only when it is properly adjusted and free of obstructions.
Door is constantly under extreme spring tension. Repairs and adjustments, especially to cables and spring assembly, can be hazardous and should
be performed by a garage door service professional.
Avoid standing in open doorway or walking through doorway while door is moving.
