a)Mark center of garage door (one-half overall width) on the wall with 6" vertical line at top edge of door.

b)Continue this line on wall above door for about 12" (Fig. 2-1, a).

Raise garage door until top edge of door reaches its maximum height (Fig. 2-2).

With door at highest point.

Measure height from top edge of door to floor

(Fig. 2-2).

Close door again.

Mark height measurement on wall above door

(Fig. 2-1, c).

Make your mark across vertical line made earlier.

Add 2-1/2" to height mark just made on wall. This is location for header bracket (Fig. 2-1, d).

WARNING

Door springs are under high tension. If spring or its shaft is in the way, measure 2-1/2" above spring or shaft on the garage door centerline and mark this height as your location for header bracket.
