| The inside of your garage door opening should be framed with |
|
|
|
|
| |
| wood jambs and header. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber |
|
|
|
|
| |
| be used. The jambs must be plumb and the header level. The | headroom |
|
|
| ||
| jambs should extend a minimum of 14” (356 mm) above the top |
|
|
| |||
| of the opening for Torsion springs applications. For low headroom | header |
|
| backroom | ||
| applications, the jambs should extend to the ceiling height. |
