Lift Handles

Tools: Power drill, 1/8” Drill bit, Tape measure

NOTE: Lift handles must be lined up vertically. Bottom Section:

Locate the exterior center stile or center most stile on the bottom section.

NOTE: For flush doors, find the center most stile by locating the center most hinge.

Using the bottom hole of the lift handle, measure up 3” from the bottom of bottom section. Mark the hole locations and drill (2) 9/32” dia. holes through the bottom section. On the outside of the door, insert (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2 1/2” carriage bolts (black head) into the outside lift handle and insert the assembly into the (2) pre-drilled holes in the bottom section. From the inside, slide the

(2)holes in the inside lift handle over the stems of the carriage bolts. Secure the outside and inside lift handle to the bottom section with (2) 1/4” – 20 flange hex nuts.

Intermediate I Section:

Locate the exterior center stile or center most stile on the Intermediate I section. Mark a vertical line on the section at that point.

NOTE: Some Garage Doors may require both lift handles to be installed on bottom section. If your bottom section height is 28” or 29”, install both lift handles onto the bottom section. Install bottom lift handle per above instructions, then install the second lift handle a Minimum of 20” and a Maximum of 30” above the bottom lift handle.

Measure up 4” from the bottom of the Intermediate I section. Using this measurement as a guide, position the bottom hole of the lift handle bottom at the mark. Make a mark at the top hole of the lift handle. This should give you a Minimum of 20” and a Maximum of 30” between the lower lift handle and the middle of the top lift handle. If needed, reposition the lift handle to stay within the Minimum and Maximum dimensions, as stated above.

Using the lift handle as a template, mark the hole locations and drill (2) 9/32” dia. holes through the section. On the outside of the door, insert (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2 1/2” carriage bolts (black head) into the outside lift handle and insert the assembly into the (2) pre-drilled holes in the section. From the inside, slide the (2) holes in the inside lift handle over the stems of the carriage bolts. Secure the outside and inside lift handle to the section with (2) 1/4” – 20 flange hex nuts.

These doors are characterized by their exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, making them a popular choice among homeowners and builders alike.

One of the standout features of the Wayne-Dalton 7100 Series is its construction.

Wayne-Dalton incorporates advanced technology into the 7100 Series, making operation smooth and reliable. The doors are equipped with a high-quality torsion spring system, which ensures easy lifting and lower costs of maintenance. Additionally, the optional Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener provides enhanced convenience and security, allowing users to monitor and control the door from their smartphones.

The 7100 Series also prioritizes safety, featuring pinch-resistant technology, which prevents fingers from getting caught during operation. This thoughtful design consideration makes the doors safer for families with children and pets.
