If you just removed your existing door or you are installing a
new door, complete all steps in PREPARING THE OPENING.
For detailed technical information regarding the opening
preparation, refer to the DASMA Technical Data Sheet TDS
#161 "Connecting Garage Door Jambs to Building Framing"
at www.dasma.com.
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
jambs should extend a minimum of 12" (305 mm) above the
top of the opening for TorqueMaster
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,
MUST BE REPLACED.
The jambs and header must be securely fastened to sound
framing members. Do not place jambs and header over drywall,
paneling, 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.
TorqueMaster
surface must be 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-pine-fur or SPF).
The mounting surface must be securely attached to block or
concrete wall with four (4) 3/8" masonry anchors or four (4)
5/16" x 4" lag screws for a wood structure.
NOTE: Drill a 3/16" pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid
splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with
nails.
WEATHER SEAL: Cut three (3) pieces of weather seal (may not
be included) to the jambs and header. Align the jamb seals with
the inside edge of the opening. Temporarily nail the weather
seal to the jamb to keep the bottom section from falling out of
the opening during installation.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jamb
at this time.
HEADROOM REQUIREMENT: Headroom is defined as the space
needed above the top of the door for tracks, springs, etc. to allow
the door to open properly. If the door is to be motor operated,
2-1/2" (64 mm) of additional headroom is required.
NOTE: 6" LHR Conversion Kit is available for 12" Radius only.
Contact your local Wayne Dalton dealer.
BACKROOM REQUIREMENT: Backroom is defined as the
distance needed from the opening back into the garage to
allow the door to open fully.
