water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only to remove any loose particles
and any soapy film residue.
Surface scratches, which have not exposed the metal substrate, can be lightly buffed or sanded
with 0000 steel wool or no. 400 sand paper to create a smoother surface. Care must be taken
to not expose the substrate under the paint. Once the substrate is exposed, the likelihood for
rusting is greatly increased.
If substrate is exposed, it must be treated to prevent rust from forming. Sand the exposed area
lightly and paint with a high quality metal primer specifically intended for galvanized surfaces
to protect the area from corrosion. Allow for drying time on primer can label before applying
topcoat.
The surface of the factory-applied finish, that is being painted, must not be too smooth, or the
paint will not adhere to it. It is advisable to test in an inconspicuous area, to evaluate adhesion.
If poor adhesion is observed, surface preparation for painting the factory-applied finish must
be repeated until desired results are achieved. Again, care must be taken to not expose the
substrate under the paint.
PAINTING
After surface has been properly prepared, it must be allowed to dry thoroughly, and then coated
immediately with premium quality latex house paint. follow paint label directions explicitly. Oil
base or solvent base paints are not recommended. Please note that if substrate is exposed and
not properly primed, painting with latex paint may cause accelerated rusting of the steel in the
exposed area.
NOTEs:
1. Re-painting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted, as this condition is totally
beyond the door manufacturer’s control.
2. Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.
3. follow directions explicitly on the paint container labels for proper applications of coatings and
disposal of containers. Pay particular attention to acceptable weather and temperature condi-
tions in which to paint.

8100, 8200 and 9100 doors with a u-bar (may or may not be supplied). The installation of the
opener must be according to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted
properly. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your electric opener for complete details on
installation, operation, maintenance and testing of the opener.

hangs and other door hardware for signs of worn or broken parts. Tighten any loose screws
and/or bolts. Check exterior surface of the door sections for any minor cracks. Verify door has
not shifted right and/or left in the opening. If you suspect problems, have a trained door system

Torquemaster ® Plus Springs: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster ® end brackets above
the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case of spring
failure or forceful manual operation.
Torsion Springs: The torsion springs (located above the door) should only be adjusted by a
trained door systems technician. DO nOT attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself.
Extension Springs: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension 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 opener,
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. 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 rollers are rotating
freely when opening and closing the door. If rollers do not rotate freely, clean the door tracks, re-
moving dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-silicon based lubricant)
hinges, steel rollers and bearings. DO nOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon rollers, door
track. DO nOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult use a graphite dust to lubricate.
