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.
