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
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. Align the edge of the center bearing bracket with
the vertical pencil line and the center of the bearing in the center bearing bracket with the
horizontal pencil line; this is to ensure the torsion tube is level between the center and end
bearing brackets.
Attach the center bearing bracket to the mounting surface, using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag
screws and (1) 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw.
