Installation Step 11
Fasten Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door
type as illustrated below or on page 25.
A horizontal brace should be long enough to be secured to 2 vertical supports. A vertical brace should
cover the height of the top panel.
The Illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of
angle iron are used to create a "U"-ahaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage door
manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement kit.
