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 six sections in height, you will not receive an Intermediate III section.
The 
BOTTOM sECTION can be identified by the factory attached bottom astragal and by the 
bottom bracket warning labels on each end stile.
The 
INTERMEDIATE I sECTION may have a warning label attached to either right or left hand 
end stile of the section. This section is always the 3rd section from the bottom of the door.

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 14” (357 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.
Weather seal (may not be included):
Cut or trim the weather seal (if necessary) to the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°f or below, pre-drilling is required.
for Q.I. track: 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.
for f.A. track: Align the header seal 1/8” to 1/4” inside 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 1/8” to 1/4” inside 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.
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,
