AIf you cannot mount Safe-T-Beam® Mounting Bracket to wood frame:

Concrete screws and concrete anchors (not included) must be used to mount Brackets on masonry with attachment tabs facing away from garage door.

Check Step 9: EMOVE XISTING ARAGE DOOR LOCKS

Check that the garage door locks, rope, and T-Handles are removed from the garage door before starting the installation.

AIf your garage does not have a separate entry door, it is highly recommended to install a Genie Emergency Release Kit (GER-2). Emergency Release Kit lets you open garage door from outside if there is a power failure. (Please see Accessories Order Form on page 19.)
