CAUTION

To prevent damage to garage door, reinforce inside of door with angle iron both vertically and horizontally.

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL REINFORCEMENT

Horizontal and vertical reinforcement (not provided) is needed for light weight garage doors (fiberglass, aluminum, steel, doors with glass panel, etc.).

A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long enough to be secured to two or three vertical supports. A vertical reinforcement brace should cover the height of the top panel. Contact your door manufacturer for more information regarding reinforcement of your door.

Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case, you will not need the door bracket; proceed to Connect Door Arm to Trolley section.
