INSTALLATION STEP 2
Install the Header Bracket
The nail hole is for positioning only. You must use lag screws to mount the header bracket.
You can attach the header bracket either to the wall above the garage door, or to the ceiling. Follow the instructions which will work best for your particular requirements. Do not install the header bracket over drywall. If installing into masonry, use concrete anchors (not provided).
