To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side and center brackets, or

steel angles to new or retro-fit construction, it is recommended to follow the

procedures outlined in DASMA Technical Data Sheets #156, #161 and #164 at

www.dasma.com.

The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should be framed with wood

jamb and header material. The jambs and header must be securely fastened to

sound framing members. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used. The

jambs must be plumb and the header level. The jambs should extend a minimum

of 12” (305 mm) above the top of the opening for TorqueMaster® counterbalance

Headroom

systems. For low headroom applications, the jambs should extend to the ceiling

height. Minimum side clearance required, from the opening to the wall, is 3-1/2”

(89 mm).

IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND

MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND,

Jamb

MUST BE REPLACED.

For TorqueMaster® counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2”

x 6”) must be firmly attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the

opening.

Weather Seal

NOTE: Drill 3/16” pilot holes in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber.

Do not attach the mounting surface with nails.

Weather Seal (May Not Be Included):

Cut the weather seal (if necessary) to fit the header and jambs.

NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.

WEATHER

Align the header seal with the inside edge of the header and temporarily secure

it to the header with equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against

the header seal and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure

the jamb seals with equally spaced nails. This will keep the bottom section from

falling out of the opening during installation. Space nails approximately 12” apart.

NOTE: Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jamb at this time.
