• Mark a point at center of door and on header directly
above door. Draw a center line to connect points.
B Find Header Bracket mounting height (Figure 4):
(Do not attach Header Bracket).
• Raise door, watching top edge of door and stop door
when its edge reaches its highest point.
• Measure distance ("H") from top edge of door to floor.
– For sectional doors, add 2-1/2" to "H" . Mark a point
on center line. Bottom of Header Bracket will be
installed here.
– For one-piece doors, add 6" to "H" . Mark this point on
center line. Bottom of Header Bracket will be
installed here.
• For both types of doors:
– If the ceiling in your garage is so low that there is
not at least a 3" space above the Header Bracket
mounting point, contact a Factory Authorized Dealer.

screwed to studs beside your mark with at least two Lag
