If you just removed your existing door or you are installing a new
door, complete all steps in PREPaRING ThE OPENING.
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 12” (305 mm) above the top of the opening for TorqueMaster ®
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).

for TorqueMaster ® counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting
surface (2” x 6”) must be firmly attached 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 the mounting surface with
nails.
Weather Seal (May Not be Included):
Cut the weather seal if necessary to fit the header and jambs.
For quick install track: align the header seal with the inside
edge of the header and temporarily secure it to the header with
equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against
the header seal and flush with the inside edge of the jamb.
Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally spaced nails.
This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening
during installation. space nails approximately 12” apart.
For fully adjustable track: align the header seal 1/8” to 1/4”
inside the header and temporarily secure it to the header with
equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against the
header seal and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb. Temporarily secure
the jamb seals with equally space nails approximately 12” to 18”
apart. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the
opening during installation.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jamb at this
time.
hEADROOM REqUIREMENT: headroom is defined as the space
needed above the top of the door for tracks, springs, etc. to allow

2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is required.
bACkROOM REqUIREMENT: backroom is defined as the
distance needed from the opening back into the garage to allow
the door to open fully.
