When installing your door you must use sections of the appropriate height in the right stacking
order. What sections heights you need to use in what order depends on the height of your door.
unless your door is five sections in height, you will not receive an Intermediate II section.
The
BOTTOM sECTION can be identified by the factory attached bottom astragal and by the
bottom bracket warning labels on each end stile.
The
INTERMEDIATE I sECTION may have a warning label attached to either right or left hand
end stile of the section. This section is always the 3rd section from the bottom of the door.

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 14” (357 mm) above the top of the opening for Torsion
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

for Torsion counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be firmly at-
tached 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
