Optional Installation
Door Arm Hookup
At the center of the top section, measure horizontally from the top of center hinge to the
bottom of strut. Using that dimension, measure and cut (2) pieces of perforated angles.
Assemble the (2) pieces together using (2) 3/8" bolts and nuts (supplied by others). Now,
secure to the top section using carriage bolts and nuts (supplied by others), thru bolt both the
perforated angles to the top section, as shown.
Align the door arm with hole with one of the holes in the perforated angles. Secure the door
arm to the perforated angle using (1) 5/16" - 18 x 1" hex head bolt and (1) 5/16" - 18 lock

Lift Handles
NOTE: Lift handles must be lined up vertically.
BOTTOM SECTION: Locate the exterior center stile or center most stile on the bottom sec-
tion.
NOTE: For flush doors, find the center most stile by locating the center most hinge.
Using the bottom hole of the lift handle, measure up 3" from the bottom of bottom section.
Mark the hole locations and drill (2) 9/32" dia. holes through the bottom section. On the out-
side of the door, insert (2) 1/4" - 20 x 2 1/2" carriage bolts (black head) into the outside lift
handle and insert the assembly into the (2) pre-drilled holes in the bottom section. From the
inside, slide the (2) holes in the inside lift handle over the stems of the carriage bolts. Secure
the outside and inside lift handle to the bottom section with (2) 1/4" - 20 flange hex nuts.
INTERMEDIATE I SECTION: Locate the exterior center stile or center most stile on the
Intermediate I section. Mark a vertical line on the section at that point.
NOTE: Some Garage Doors may require both lift handles to be installed on bottom section.
If your bottom section height is 28" or 29", install both lift handles onto the bottom section.
Install bottom lift handle per above instructions, then install the second lift handle a Minimum
of 20" and a Maximum of 30" above the bottom lift handle.
Measure up 4" from the bottom of the Intermediate I section. Using this measurement as
a guide, position the bottom hole of the lift handle bottom at the mark. Make a mark at the
top hole of the lift handle. This should give you a Minimum of 20" and a Maximum of 30"
between the lower lift handle and the middle of the top lift handle. If needed, reposition the
lift handle to stay within the Minimum and Maximum dimensions, as stated above.
Using the lift handle as a template, mark the hole locations and drill (2) 9/32" dia. holes
through the section. On the outside of the door, insert (2) 1/4" - 20 x 2-1/2" carriage bolts
(black head) into the outside lift handle and insert the assembly into the (2) pre-drilled holes
in the section. From the inside, slide the (2) holes in the inside lift handle over the stems of
the carriage bolts. Secure the outside and inside lift handle to the section with (2) 1/4" - 20
flange hex nuts.
