The sequence is always determined by #1 being the bottom section to #3 or #4 being the highest intermediate section. If the stamp on the graduated end hinge is illegible, refer to the section side view illustration. The section side view illustration shows the graduated end hinge profile of all sections, and can also be used to identify each section.
The BOTTOM SECTION can be identified by #1 graduated end hinges, the factory attached bottom astragal, the factory attached bottom corner brackets and by the bottom corner bracket warning labels on each end stile.
The LOCK SECTION can be identified by #2 graduated end hinges on a 4 section high door and by #3 graduated end hinges on a 3 section high door. Also, on a 3 section door, the lock section will come with a warning label attached to the right or left endstile.
The INTERMEDIATE SECTION can be identified by #3 graduated end hinges (Only on a 4 section high door). The section will have a warning label attached to either the right or left hand end stile.

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 systems. For low headroom applications, the jambs should extend to the ceiling height. Minimum side clearance required, from the open- ing to the wall, is
Important: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting surface. Any wood found not to be sound, 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.
NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with nails.
Weatherstrips (may not be included):
Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if neces- sary) to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below,
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.
For Quick Install track: For the header, align the weatherstrip with the inside edge of the header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either
