Door Installation Instructions - Wayne-Dalton 8000 Quick Start Manual

DOOR INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing your door, be certain that you have read and followed all of the instruc-
tions covered in the pre-installation section of this manual. Failure to do so may result in an
improperly installed door.
NOTE: Reference TDS 160 for general garage door terminology at www.dasma.com.
IMPORTANT: IF THE DOOR WILL BE EXPOSED TO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ROAD SALT,
PAINT THE BARE GALVANIZED BOTTOM WEATHER STEEL RETAINER TO INHIBIT RUSTING.
Vertical Tracks
1
NOTE: If you have a wall angle track assembly, skip this step.
NOTE: Refer to Door Section Identification / Parts Breakdown, to determine if you have verti-
cal tracks.
Vertical tracks may or may not have to be cut to the proper length, prior to installing.
IMPORTANT: VERTICAL TRACKS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE CUT DOWN IF YOU HAVE DOOR
HEIGHTS 7'-0" OR 8'-0".
Determine the radius of your horizontal track.
Refer to the vertical track cutting chart to determine the length needed to be cut off at the top
of the vertical tracks. Using this measurement, measure and cut the vertical track off at the
top, as shown. Remove any burrs from the cut edge of vertical track.

Horizontal Track Radius
10" Or 12" Radius
14" Radius
Now, two holes must be drilled into the top of the cut vertical track. Using the illustration
shown below, mark and drill the hole locations using a 5/16" drill bit. Once the holes have
been drilled, remove any burrs from the drilled holes. Repeat the same process for the other
vertical track.
Attaching Flag Angles and Jamb Brackets To
2
Vertical Tracks
NOTE: If you have Angle Mount Track, skip this step.
Hand tighten the left hand flag angle to the left hand vertical track using (2) 1/4" - 20 x 5/8"
carriage bolts and (2) 1/4" - 20 flange hex nuts.
NOTE: The bottom jamb bracket is always the shortest bracket, while the center jamb
bracket is the next tallest. If three jamb brackets per side are included with your door, you will
have received a top jamb bracket, which is the tallest.
To attach the bottom jamb bracket, locate lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern of the 1st hole
set on the vertical track. Align the slot in the jamb bracket with the lower hole of the hole/ slot
pattern. Hand tighten jamb bracket using (1) 1/4" - 20 x 5/8" carriage bolt and (1) 1/4" - 20
flange hex nut.
Place the center jamb bracket over the lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern that is centered
between the bottom jamb bracket and flag angle of the 2nd hole set. Hand tighten jamb
bracket using (1) 1/4" - 20 x 5/8" carriage bolt and (1) 1/4" - 20 flange hex nut.
If a top jamb bracket was included, hand tighten it to vertical track using the lower hole of the
hole/ slot pattern in the 3rd hole set and (1) 1/4" - 20 x 5/8" carriage bolt and (1) 1/4" - 20
flange hex nut.
Attaching Bottom Corner Brackets
3
NOTE: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual or refer to Breakdown Of Parts.
WARNING
ENSURE TIGHT FIT OF CABLE LOOP OVER MILFORD PIN TO PREVENT
COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE FROM COMING OFF THE PIN, WHICH
COULD ALLOW THE DOOR TO FALL AND RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL
INJURY.
Uncoil the counterbalance lift cables. Locate the left hand bottom corner bracket. Slide the
left hand cable loop of the counterbalance lift cable onto milford pin. Position the left hand
bottom corner bracket onto the bottom section. Attach the bottom corner bracket to the bot-
tom section with (3) 1/4" - 20 x 11/16" RED HEAD self drilling screws. Repeat same process
for the right hand side.
IMPORTANT: THE 1/4" - 20 X 11/16" RED HEAD SELF DRILLING SCREWS MUST BE MUST
BE INSTALLED THROUGH THE HOLES OF THE BOTTOM CORNER BRACKETS, AS SHOWN.

Insert a short stem track roller with a roller spacer into the bottom corner bracket. Repeat for
other side.
NOTE: Verify bottom weather seal is aligned with bottom section. If there is more than 1/2"
excess weather seal on either side, trim weather seal even with bottom section.
Attaching Hinges and Strut(s) To Sections
4
NOTE: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual.
NOTE: The graduated hinges can be identified by the number stamped on the lower hinge
leaf.
NOTE: The #1 graduated end hinges serves as end hinges on the bottom section. The #1
graduated end hinges also serves as center hinges on all sections, except for the top section.
NOTE: The #2 graduated end hinges serves as end hinges on the Lock section.
NOTE: The #3 graduated end hinges serves as end hinges on the Intermediate I section.
NOTE: The #4 graduated end hinges serves as end hinges on the Intermediate II section.
ATTACHING HINGES TO SECTIONS: Starting on the left hand side of the bottom section,
align the lower hinge leaf of the #1 graduated end hinge over the holes, located at the top of
the end caps. Attach lower leaf to the end caps with (2) 1/4" - 14 x 5/8" self tapping screws.
Repeat for other side. Next, align the lower hinge leaf of the #1 center hinges with the pre-
punched holes at each center stile location(s), located at the top of the bottom section. Attach
lower hinge leaf to the center stile with (2) 1/4" - 14 x 5/8" self tapping screws.
IMPORTANT: ONCE THE 1/4" - 14 X 5/8" SELF TAPPING SCREWS ARE SNUG AGAINST THE
LOWER HINGE LEAVES, TIGHTEN AN ADDITIONAL 1/4 TO 1/2 TURN TO RECEIVE MAXIMUM
DESIGN HOLDING POWER.
ATTACHING STRUT(S) TO SECTIONS: Using the strut schedule, determine the placement
of the struts for your door width and door height.
INSTALLATION ON THE TOP SECTION: Locate and center the strut at the top of the top
section surface. Secure strut to top section using (2) 1/4" - 20 x 7/8" self drilling screws at
each end and at each center stile locations.
INSTALLATION ON ALL OTHER SECTIONS: Locate and center the strut onto the section
surface and up against the bottom of the hinges. Center the strut side to side. Secure strut
to the section using (2) 1/4" - 20 x 7/8" self drilling screws at each end and center stile
locations.
NOTE: All struts are placed at the top of the sections and up against the bottom of the gradu-
ated hinges, for the intermediate, lock and bottom sections.

Insert a short stem track roller into the hinge tube of the #1 graduated end hinges. Repeat
graduated hinge attachment using the appropriate graduated end hinges for all remaining
sections except the top section.
