2.Finding highest point of travel.

•While raising garage door manually, watch top edge of door to see where it reaches its

16	highest point. This is called “highest point of
	travel.” Fig. 2-2.

•A locking pliers can be used to hold the door in position by clamping it onto the rail.

(A stool, chair, table or any object that can safely support door will also work.)

–With door held partly open (at its “highest point”), measure distance from top edge to the floor.

•Remove support and gently lower door.

•Mark “highest point of travel” at centerline on wall above door. Fig. 2-3.

NOTE: Following step depends on type of door.

3.Final header bracket mounting location.

•For SECTIONAL DOORS—

add 2-1/2 inches to “highest point of travel” and mark this height on centerline. Fig. 2-3.

•For ONE-PIECE DOORS—

add 6 inches to “highest point of travel” and

mark this height on centerline. Fig. 2-4.
