Adjusting Top Brackets

Tools: 7/16” Wrench, Step ladder

With horizontal tracks installed, you can now adjust the top brackets. Vertically align the top sec-

tion of the door with the lower sections. Once aligned, position the top bracket slide, out against

the horizontal track. Maintaining the slide’s position, tighten the (2) 1/4”-20 flange hex nuts to

secure the top bracket slide to the top bracket base. Repeat for other side.

End Bearing Brackets

Tools: Step ladder, Power drill, Ratchet wrench, 7/16” Socket driver,

9/16” Socket, 9/16” Wrench

IMPORTANT: RIGHT AnD lEfT HAnD IS AlWAYS DETERMInED fROM InSIDE THE BuIlDInG

NOTE: End brackets are right and left hand.
Break the end bearing brackets apart. Attach the left hand end bearing bracket through either

the end bearing bracket’s upper or lower slots to the left hand horizontal angle using (2) 3/8”-16

x 3/4” truss head bolts and (2) 3/8”-16 nuts.
IMPORTANT: THE EnD BEARInG BRACKET’S lOWER SlOTS ARE uSED On DOORS WITH 12”

RADIuS TRACK; THE uPPER SlOTS ARE uSED On DOORS WITH 15” RADIuS TRACK.
Secure the top of the end bearing bracket to the jamb with (1) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screw. Repeat

for other side.

Center Bearing Bracket

Tape measure, Pencil

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.

facing the inside of the door, lay the torsion tube on the floor. lay the spring with the black

winding cone and the black cable drum at the right end of the tube. lay the spring with the red

winding cone and the red cable drum at the left end of the tube.
NOTE: The set screws used on all torsion winding cones and cable drums are now colored red.

DO nOT identify right and left hand by the set screw color.
Slide the nylon center bracket bushing onto the torsion tube followed by the springs and cable

drums. The nylon center bracket bushing, springs, and cable drums must be positioned as

shown. With assistance, pick up the torsion assembly and slide one end of the torsion tube

through one end bearing bracket. lay the middle of the torsion tube into the center bearing

bracket and slide the other end of the torsion tube into the other end bearing bracket. Position

the torsion tube so that equal amounts of the tube extend from each end bearing bracket.

spring Attachment

Tools: Step Ladder, Ratchet Wrench, 9/16” Socket, 9/16” Wrench

Slide the nylon center bushing into the center bearing bracket and into the stationary spring

cone at the end of the right hand spring. Align the stationary spring cone(s) with the holes in the

center bearing bracket. Secure the spring(s) to the center bearing bracket with (2) 3/8”-16 x

1-1/2” hex head bolts and (2) 3/8”-16 nuts.

Tools: Step Ladder, Locking Pliers, 3/8” Wrench

Thread the counterbalance cable around the back side of the left cable drum and verify that

there are no cable obstructions. Hook the cable into the drum. Slide the left hand cable drum

against the left hand end bearing bracket and tighten the set screws in the drum to 14-15 ft.

lbs. of torque (once set screws contact the tube, tighten screws one full turn). Rotate the left

hand drum and torsion tube until cable is taut. Attach locking pliers to torsion tube and brace

locking pliers against jamb to keep cable taut.
Repeat for right hand side.
