NOTE:

 Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not 

attach the mounting surface with nails.

WEATHERSTRIPS (MAY NOT BE INCLUDED):

Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if neces-

sary) to properly fit into the header and jambs.

NOTE:

 If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.

NOTE:

 Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.

FOR QUICK INSTALL TRACK:

 For the header, align the weatherstrip with the inside edge 

of the header and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting 

at either side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached 

weatherstrip in the header and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure 

the weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom 

section from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 

12” to 18” apart.

FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK:

 For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside 

the header edge, and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting 

at either side of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached 

weatherstrip in the header and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the 

weatherstrip with equally spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom sec-

tion from falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” 

to 18” apart.

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, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is required.

NOTE:

 6” low headroom conversion kit is available for 12” radius only. Contact your local 

Wayne Dalton dealer.

BACKROOM REQUIREMENT:

 Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening 

back into the garage to allow the door to open fully.

*NOTE:

 For door heights from 10’1” to 14’0”, refer to your operator manufacture installation 

instructions for appropriate depth into room.
