	The inside of your garage door opening should be framed with
	wood jambs and header. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber
	be used. The jambs must be plumb and the header level. The		headroom
	jambs should extend a minimum of 14” (356 mm) above the top
	of the opening for Torsion springs applications. For low headroom		header			backroom
	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						jamb
	surface. Any wood found not to be sound, must be
	replaced.
	The jambs and header must be securely fastened to sound framing
	members. Do not place jambs and header over drywall, paneling,		WEATHER SEAL
	etc. Heads of fasteners must be flush or below jamb and header
	surface, so they do not interfere with installation or operation of
	new door.
	Torsion springs applications, a suitable mounting surface must be		jamb
	firmly attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the
	opening.
	The mounting surface must be 2” x 6” lumber minimum (Select
	southern yellow pine lumber. Do not use lumber marked as spruce-						weather
	pine-fur or SPF).						seal
