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.
Attaching Flag Angles and Jamb Brackets To
1
Vertical Tracks
NOTE: If you have Riveted Track or Angle Mount Track, skip this step.
FOR DOORS WITH QUICK INSTALL TRACK: Place the lower Quick Install tab of the left
hand flag angle in the Quick Install feature of the left hand vertical track. Give the flag angle
1/4 turn to lock in place. Measure the length of the vertical tracks. Using the jamb bracket
schedule, determine the placement of the jamb brackets for your door height and track
length. To install the jamb brackets, align the Quick Install tab on the Quick Install jamb
bracket with the Quick Install feature in the vertical track and turn the bracket perpendicular
to the track so the mounting flange is toward the back (flat) leg of the track. Repeat the same
process for right hand side.

Attaching Horizontal Track Angles
B
NOTE: For larger doors, a full length horizontal track angle may not already be spot welded to
the horizontal track. If the horizontal track angle is not welded, the horizontal track angle will
be installed, as shown.
M
Position the left hand horizontal track angle, as shown. Place the Quick Install tabs of the
horizontal track angle in the key slot of the left hand horizontal track. Using a hammer, tap
the horizontal track angle towards the curved end of the track until the alignment hole in the
T
track and angle are aligned. Repeat for other side. Set tracks aside.
Attaching Counterbalance Lift Cables and
3
Track Rollers
NOTE: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual or refer to Breakdown Of Parts.
NOTE: Cable drum assemblies are marked right and left hand.
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 from the cable drum assemblies, making sure you
place the left hand cable loop on the left hand milford pin of the bottom corner bracket and
the right hand cable loop on the right hand milford pin of the bottom corner bracket. Insert
a short stem track roller into the bottom corner brackets and another into the #1 graduated
end hinges at the top of the bottom section.
NOTE: Larger doors will use long stem track rollers with double graduated end hinges.
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.
