STEP 1A: Mounting the Front Bracket — One
Piece Doors Without Track: Mark a vertical centerline on the header above the door. Manually raise the door to its high arc position and temporarily clamp in that position. With the door in this high arc position, measure the distance from the top of the door to the floor (see figure at left). Subtract the actual door height from the high arc distance to the floor. This is the high arc rise of the door. Unclamp and close the door. Using the table below, draw a horizontal line at the appropriate height above the door to intersect with the vertical centerline.
