below or on the following page.
A horizontalreinforcementbrace should be long enough to be
secured to two or three vertical supports.A vertical
reinforcement brace shouldcover the height of the top panel
Figure 1 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-shaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage
door manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement

attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case you will
not need the door bracket, proceed to Step 9.
