When installing your door you must use sections of the appropriate height in the right stacking 
order. What sections heights you need to use in what order depends on the height of your door.
Unless your door is five sections in height, you will not receive an Intermediate II section.

For detailed information see supplemental instructions “Removing an Existing Door/ Preparing

Preparing the Opening
IMPORTANT: IF YOU JUST REMOVED YOUR ExISTING DOOR OR YOU ARE INSTALLING A NEW 
DOOR, COMPLETE ALL STEPS IN PREPARING THE OPENING.
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 Torsion 
counterbalance 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, MUST BE REPLACED.
For Torsion counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be firmly at-
tached 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 necessary) 
to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
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 side of the 
jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the header 
and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with equally 
spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the 
opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
For Fully Adjustable track: For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside the header 
edge, and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side 
of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the 
header and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with equally 
spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the 
opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
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” low headroom 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.
