(reference illustrations below), slip the loop at the ends of the counterbalance lift cable over the milford pin of the bottom corner bracket or secure the cable loop to the clevis pin and bottom corner bracket using a flat washer and a cotter pin. Repeat for other bottom corner bracket.

WarningARNING

Failure to ensure tight fit of cable loop over milford pin could result in counterbalance lift cable coming off the pin, allowing the door to fall, possibly resulting in severe or fatal injury.

Starting on the left hand side, attach the left hand bottom corner bracket to the left corner of the bottom section, making sure it is seated to the edges of the end cap, using 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws, roller spacer (if applicable) washer (if applicable) and (1) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” tamper resistant self drilling screw. Repeat for right hand bottom corner bracket.

NOTE: All doors are provided with the tamper resistant fastener for the bottom corner brackets. However, the professional installer is most likely to have the proper tool to install this fastener. If the homeowner does not have the proper tool to install the tamper resistant fastener, use a regular 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screw in its place.

NOTE: Check to ensure cable loop fits tightly over the milford pins.

Insert a short stem track roller with roller spacer into the bottom corner bracket. Repeat for other side.

NOTE: Verify bottom weather seal (bottom seal) is aligned with door section. If there is more than 1/2” excess bottom weather seal on either side, trim bottom weather seal even with door section.
