Product Usage Instructions

1. Before beginning installation, verify that you have all parts
   and materials required for installation. If any parts are missing
   or damaged, contact Clopay Consumer Services Hotline at
   1-800-225-6729.

2. Read the instructions completely and watch the installation
   video.

3. Verify that you have appropriate headroom to install the door.
   Special instructions and additional hardware may be required for
   low headroom installations.

4. Allow enough time to complete installation. The garage will be
   open and unsecured during installation and will not be able to be
   used until tracks are installed.

5. Ensure that you are using original, factory-supplied sections,
   parts, and hardware for installation. Do not reuse old track or
   hardware as it may cause installation problems or result in serious
   injury or property damage.

6. If you plan to use an automatic garage door opener, a
   reinforced mounting point must be installed to avoid damage. This
   is sold separately.

7. Take care not to drill through the outside steel skin unless
   otherwise instructed.

8. If you live in a high wind-load region, additional
   reinforcement may be required. Refer to Supplemental Instructions
   for details if applicable.

9. If planning to paint the door, follow the directions in the
   Care & Maintenance section. Clopay recommends painting the door
   and allowing it to dry completely before beginning
   installation.

10. Before installing your new door, carefully read the safety
    information and warnings provided in the user manual.

11. Do not attempt to remove a garage door with torsion springs or
    attempt to loosen any fasteners on components under strong spring
    tension. Have a qualified door repair service remove them.

12. If removing a garage door with extension springs, follow the
    instructions carefully and use C-clamps or locking pliers on both
    sides of the door to keep it from moving once the springs are
    removed.

13. Doors equipped with automatic garage door openers can cause
    serious injury or death if not properly adjusted and operated. Test
    the sensitivity of the garage door opener’s safety reverse
    mechanism monthly, remove any pull-down ropes, ensure the door
    remains unlocked, properly reinforce the door, and do not allow
    children to play with the controls.

STEP 2 ­ READ THIS SAFETY INFORMATION – IMPORTANT!

! TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM INJURY, YOU MUST CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS BEFORE YOU INSTALL OR USE YOUR NEW GARAGE DOOR! WARNING

BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR DOOR
You can install your new garage door yourself if: a) you have help (it may weigh up to 150 lbs .) b) you have the right tools and reasonable mechanical aptitude or experience c) you follow these instructions very carefully
Garage doors use springs to balance them . There are two types of springs ­ extension or torsion . Each of these is available in either a standard or EZ- SET® assembly option . Please look at the drawings on Page 4 to see which springs your old door has . If your door has a different type of spring, consult the original manufacturer’s instructions for removal .
If your old door uses torsion springs, do not attempt to remove the door or the springs yourself . Have a qualified door repair service remove them . Attempting to remove a torsion spring assembly without proper training or tools may result in an uncontrolled release of spring force which can cause serious or fatal injury (Page 4) .
In removing a garage door that has extension springs, follow the instructions carefully (Page 7), including the use of C-clamps or locking pliers on both sides of the door in order to keep the door from moving once the springs are removed .
Springs, cables and bottom fixtures are under strong spring tension . Do not attempt to loosen any fasteners on these components . You could suddenly release spring forces and risk severe injury .
Doors equipped with automatic garage door openers can cause serious injury or death if not properly adjusted and operated . To ensure safety of these doors: a) test the sensitivity of the garage door opener’s safety reverse mechanism monthly b) if your door has a pull-down rope, you must remove it c) make sure the door remains unlocked d) ensure door is properly reinforced e) do not allow children to play with the controls
DO NOT attempt to install the door during windy weather conditions . The door sections may be blown down causing serious injury or property damage .
Manufacturer disclaims all liability for any installation that is not in compliance with these installation instructions or applicable state or county building codes .
!In the interest of safety this symbol means WARNING or CAUTION. Personal injury and/or property damage may occur unless instructions are followed carefully.

WHILE INSTALLING YOUR DOOR
Use only the track specified and supplied with the door .
Bolts must be installed at the rear end of horizontal tracks . These act to stop the rollers and keep the door from rolling off the back of the track .
Track installations must use sway braces on the rear track hangers to prevent sideways movement . If the tracks are not firmly stabilized they might spread, allowing the door to fall and cause severe injury and damage .
Do not attach any brackets directly to drywall or sheet rock . All track brackets, flag brackets and spring brackets should only be attached directly to 2″ × 6″ wood jambs . Otherwise, brackets could pull out of the drywall with dangerous force .
AFTER INSTALLING YOUR DOOR
The brackets at the bottom corners of your garage door are under great tension . Do not attempt to loosen any bracket fasteners except when and as directed in detail in the following instructions . Otherwise, the bracket could spring out with dangerous force .
Do not permit children to play beneath or with any garage door or electronic operating controls .
Keep hands and fingers clear of section joints, track and other door parts when the door is opening and closing to avoid injury . In particular, do not place fingers in section joints in order to close the door, as finger pinch, crush or amputation will result . The lift handles are located for safe operation as well as easy use .
If the garage door and/or any of the supporting track are damaged, operating the door could be hazardous . Contact Clopay Consumer Service Hotline .
If repairs are ever required to your door, safety and trouble-free operation can be best assured by using original replacement parts .
Once you have completed the installation of your new garage door, please be sure that your garage complies with all applicable ventilation requirements before you enclose any vehicles in the garage . Good ventilation avoids fire and health hazards caused by fumes accumulating within a well-sealed garage .
Only approved residential garage door openers are permitted to be used in residential applications . A residential application is a building for four families or less, or a garage that is serving the primary residence .
Install operator control panel away from garage door track and the door itself . Keep body parts away from track at all times when operating an opener or opening/closing a garage door .

STEP 3 – CHECK HEADROOM, BACKROOM, SIDEROOM

Headroom Requirement:
Headroom is space needed above top of door for door, overhead tracks and springs . Measure to check that there are no obstructions within that space (Fig . 3-A) .
Refer to Table 3-A for standard headroom requirements .
Track radius can be determined by measuring dimension “R” (Fig . 3-B) .
· If “R” equals 11″ to 12″, it is a 12″ radius track .
· If “R” equals 14″ to 15″, it is a 15″ radius track .
Determine which type of spring you have (STEP 4) .
NOTE: If there is restricted headroom, several low headroom remedies are available (Table 3-B). Installation of these options differ from installation of a standard headroom door. Supplemental instructions are included with hardware of each low headroom option.

Rough Opening = Door Size
Backroom = Door Height Plus 18″

Fig. 3-A

4-1/2″ Minimum Sideroom

Headroom Required
Door Height

Rough Opening: Rough opening (minus stop mold) = same size as door (Fig . 3-A)
Backroom Requirement: Measured from back of door into garage, and should be at least
18″ more than height of garage door (Fig . 3-A) .
Sideroom Requirement: Minimum 3-3/4″ is needed on each side of door on interior wall surface
to allow for attachment of vertical track assembly . Minimum 4-1/2″ is needed on each side of door above opening for
torsion spring attachment .
NOTE: If you are installing an automatic opener, about 3″ of additional headroom at the center plus additional backroom is needed. Check door opener instructions.

STEP 5 – REMOVE THE EXISTING DOOR

Step 5-1: Remove Existing Door Springs
NOTE: Garage doors use springs to balance door weight. Springs are one of two types ­ extension or torsion. Each of these is available in either a standard or EZ-SET® assembly option.
Use illustrations in STEP 4 to determine which springs existing door has . If existing door’s spring type is not found, please consult spring manufacturer .
WARNING
Serious injury could result from an uncontrolled release of spring forces if spring tension has not been released before other work begins.
WARNING
To avoid pinch and other crushing injuries, keep hands and fingers clear of section joints, track and other door parts while door is opening and closing.
NOTE: Some large doors can weigh as much as 500 lbs. and single car doors as much as 200 lbs. when spring tension is removed.
Standard Torsion Springs:
WARNING
If present door uses standard torsion springs, DO NOT attempt to remove door or springs yourself. They should be removed by a qualified door service professional. Attempting to remove a torsion spring assembly without proper training and tools may result in an uncontrolled release of spring forces which can cause serious injury.
Standard Extension Springs:
WARNING
Extension adjustments or removal should only be made with door in up position. To avoid damage or serious injury from door falling, use two or more helpers to assist in lowering door. Raise door to full open position . Place C-clamps or locking pliers tightly on both sides of track under door
so door is held securely in place (Fig . 5-A) . With door fully open, most spring tension has been removed . Keeping C-clamps in place to keep door from falling, detach cable at both
ends . Disassemble and remove springs and cable completely from door .
NOTE: Wood blocks should be placed underneath door when closing to prevent fingers from being trapped.
Remove C-clamps from track and carefully close door . Weight of door will not be apparent when you first begin to close door .
Door will feel progressively heavier as it is lowered until its full weight is realized about one foot from floor .

Fig. 5-A

C-clamp

Fig. 5-B Fig. 5-B
EZ-SET® Extension Springs or EZ-SET® Torsion Springs:
WARNING
To avoid damage or serious injury, use two or more helpers to assist in lowering door. EZ-SET® torsion springs adjustments or removal should only be made with door in down position. With door in down position, position drill with 7/16″ socket bit over
winding unit . Using reverse (counter-clockwise) direction on drill, remove all tension
from spring . Repeat for each side . After spring tension has been removed, detach lift cables at
both ends . Disassemble and remove springs and cable completely from door .
Step 5-2: Remove Door Sections and Track After removal of door springs, door can now be disassembled . Starting with top section, remove hardware and unstack sections one at
a time (Fig . 5-B) . After all sections have been removed from opening, detach all remaining
track and hardware from jambs . Hangers that attach rear ends of overhead track to ceiling (rear track
hangers) in many cases can be reused on new door . Be sure they are made of 13 ga . (3/32″) or heavier steel and are not loose or unstable .
WARNING
To avoid installation and operation problems from using worn, damaged or incompatible track, use only track specified and supplied with door. DO NOT attempt to reuse old track.

STEP 6 – PREPARE THE OPENING
NOTE: Rough opening (framed opening without stop molding) = door size

Required Headroom

Step 6-1: Framing If old door was removed, inspect jambs for rotted or damaged wood and
replace immediately . Inside of door opening should be framed with 2″ × 6″ lumber . Vertical jamb should extend past opening (Fig . 6-A) to match headroom
required (Table 3-B) . Jambs should be plumb and header should be level . Be sure bolts fastening jambs to wall are flush .
Step 6-2: Stop Molding Door stop molding should be temporarily but securely nailed to edges of
jambs and flush with inside framing (Fig . 6-B) .
NOTE: Stop molding with built-in weatherseal is offered.

STEP 7 – PREPARE FIRST (BOTTOM) SECTION

Step 7-1: Locate Bottom Section Find section with aluminum weatherstrip retainer fastened to one edge .
Retainer is on bottom edge of bottom section (Fig . 7-A) . Cover sawhorses with carpet or cloth as not to scratch section . Place section on sawhorses face down .
Step 7-2: Attach Bottom Brackets By hand, bend to break apart bottom brackets as shown (Fig . 7-B) .
Remove connecting tabs . Slide bottom bracket up to fully engage safety tabs into slots on stile
(Fig . 7-C) . Using (2) #14 × 5/8″ sheet metal screws, attach bottom brackets to
bottom corners of door section .
WARNING
Failure to properly engage safety tabs on bottom bracket into slots on edge of door may cause sections to fall or spring to break free when spring tension is applied, which can result in severe injury.
Step 7-3: Attach Standard Extension Springs Lift Cables
NOTE: For Standard Extension Springs — lift cables are the longer and smaller diameter of the two sets of cables. DO NOT use shorter safety containment cables as lift cable, this can cause improper door function. For EZ-Set® Extension Springs — DO NOT attach lift cables now, this will be done when springs are installed.
Hook looped ends of lift cable over buttons on bottom brackets (Fig . 7-D) .
Step 7-4: Attach Hinges Hinges are stamped with numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the side of the hinge that
attaches to the section . (Number 4 is stamped on 5-section door only .) Attach a #1 hinge to each pair of prepunched holes along top edge of
section using (2) #14 × 5/8″ sheet metal screws per hinge (Fig . 7-E) .
NOTE: Determine if a strut is required on the bottom section of your door (Table 7-A). Determine whether door thickness is 1-3/8″ or 2″ and the width of the end stile (Fig. 7-E). To attach strut, overlap hinges using 1/4″ × 3/4″ self-tapping screws as shown (Fig. 7-F). When predrilled holes do not line up with hinge, drill (2) 3/16″ pilot holes through strut, hinge and door at each location (or use impact wrench with 7/16″ socket and self-tapping screws (Fig. 7-F).

STEP 11 – ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL THE TRACK

Before assembling brackets to vertical track, be sure to read STEP 11-1 and 11-2 . Refer to Fig .11-C for placement of brackets on track .
NOTE: Brackets may already be riveted in place. If additional adjustment is required, rivets can be drilled out and brackets reattached with track bolts and flange nuts (available through toll-free Consumer Service Hotline, see front).
WARNING
Failure to use the track provided with new door may cause installation problems or the door to fall which could result in serious injury or property damage.
WARNING
DO NOT attach any brackets directly to drywall. All track brackets, flag brackets and spring brackets should be attached directly only to wood bucks.
Step 11-1: Assemble Track Brackets to Vertical Track There are two sizes of track brackets for 7′ tall doors and 3 sizes for 8′
tall doors . Each bracket should be installed with flange facing flat side of track and flat side toward wall (Fig . 11-A) . Loosely fasten horizontal slot of track brackets to vertical track using (1) 1/4″ × 5/8″ track bolt and (1) 1/4″ flange nut . Head of bolt faces inside track . Brackets should be installed on vertical track as follows (Fig . 11-C): · Shortest pair — 10″ from bottom of track · Next longest pair — centered on track · For 8′ tall doors — install remaining pair 10″ from top of track
Step 11-2A: Assemble Flag Brackets to Vertical Track FOR STEEL AND STEEL CARRIAGE HOUSE DOORS Determine proper holes in flag bracket for door thickness (Fig . 11-B1) . Loosely attach flag bracket to top of track with (2) 1/4″ × 5/8″ track bolts
and 1/4″ flange nuts . Head of bolts face inside track .
NOTE: If additional adjustment is required, horizontal slots in flag brackets can be used for attachment to vertical track.
Step 11-2B: Assemble Flag Brackets to Vertical Track FOR COMPOSITE OVERLAY DOORS Due to overall door thickness of most non-insulated Composite Overlay
Door models, a commercial style flag bracket is used to splice the vertical and horizontal tracks together (Fig . 11-B2) .
Step 11-3: Place Vertical Track into Position Place track over rollers on door . Move track close to door so rollers are all the way into hinges leaving
about 1/2″ between edge of door and edge of track .
NOTE: Do not force track too tightly or door will bind.
Lift track about 1/2″ from floor and mark jamb for each lag screw position .
NOTE: Do not raise vertical track beyond bottom rollers on bottom section of door.

Drill 3/16″ pilot holes at each lag screw location . Fasten flag bracket to jamb using (3) 5/16″ × 1-5/8″ lag screws, one in each of top, middle and bottom holes . Repeat on opposite side .
Once flag brackets are securely fastened to jamb, tighten track bolts and flange nuts connecting flag brackets to tracks (Fig . 11-D) .
NOTE: The tops of vertical tracks must be level with each other. Check this by measuring from top of door sections to top of track on both sides. If they are not equal, cut material off bottom of one track to lower it or raise other track.
NOTE: Pressure-treated lumber purchased after January 2004 is treated with chemicals that have highly corrosive effects on metal fasteners. Fasteners provided with door are intended for use with standard lumber (not pressure- treated) only. If installing door into an opening framed with pressure-treated lumber, it is highly recommended that 5/16″ × 1-5/8″ lag screws with a minimum galvanization equivalent of G185 be purchased for this application.
Step 11-4: Assemble Flag Brackets to Vertical Track
NOTE: On some doors this angle may be 82″ long and will require (3) additional fasteners per side. If angle has been preassembled, skip STEP 11-4 and proceed with STEP 11-5.
Fasten horizontal angle to horizontal (curved) track using (2) 1/4″ × 5/8″ track bolts and (2) 1/4″ flange nuts . Head of bolt faces inside track (Fig .11-E) .
Step 11-5: Support Rear End of Track Temporarily support rear end of track with a rope tied to trusses overhead
in garage or resting on tall ladder (Fig . 11-F) .
Step 11-6: Assemble Horizontal Track to Flag Bracket Place curved end of horizontal track over roller in top bracket . Attach track to flag bracket using (2) 1/4″ × 5/8″ track bolts and
(2) 1/4″ flange nuts . Head of bolt faces inside track .
NOTE: Horizontal and vertical track must join together to form a continuous channel for rollers.
Attach end of horizontal angle to top of flag bracket with a 3/8″ × 3/4″ carriage bolt and 3/8″ hex nut (Fig . 11-G) . · For 15″ radius track use top set of slots · For 12″ radius track use middle set of slots · For low headroom track use bottom set of slots
Step 11-7: Assemble Rear Track Hangers
NOTE: Rear track hangers are not provided with standard hardware and will need to be made at this time. They are used to attach rear horizontal track to ceiling joist and must be strong enough to hold full weight of door.
WARNING
Sway braces must be used to prevent tracks from spreading and allowing door to fall, which could cause serious injury. Bolts placed in end of each track (Fig. 11-H) must be at least 1″ long to prevent top section from exiting track.

PAINTING THE DOOR
Read these instructions completely prior to painting your door .
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to your door, which will result in loss of warranty.
Required Paint Your garage door can be painted with high quality 100% acrylic latex
(flat, satin or semi-gloss) exterior grade paint . DO NOT use any type of oil- based paint or alkyd modified paint.
These paints will void the warranty of your door. We strongly recommend all doors are painted with solar reflective paint
when available, especially when using darker colors and when the door is in direct sunlight or a high heat/high UV environment . These paints help reflect more sunlight keeping the surface of the door cooler . For more information and a list of pre-approved paints, call the consumer hotline at 800-225-6729, scan the QR code to the right or visit info.garagedoors.com/lrv
Preparing the Surface Before painting, the door, window frames and inserts must be free of dirt, oil, caulk, waxes and mildew . To prepare window grilles and window frames: Lightly scuff the entire exposed surface of window grilles and window
frames with medium sandpaper (grit 60-100) .
NOTE: Sanding could remove rust-inhibiting compounds from the steel portion of the door, therefore, sanding should be done only to damaged areas where bare metal has been exposed. Refer to “Paint Repair” for details on repair on the next page.
Cleaning the Door for Painting Only Make a solution of trisodium phosphate, also known as TSP, using 1/3
cup of powder to 1-1/2 to 2 gallons of water . NEVER BLEND CLEANERS OR AMMONIA WITH BLEACH.
NOTE: DO NOT use this if you are not planning to paint the door.
Saturate cleaning pad (3M synthetic steel wool­gray not green) and rub with even pressure to lightly scuff surface while applying the cleaning solution over all surfaces to be painted .
Rinse with clean water and sponge, changing water often . A final wipe and rinse with clean water and sponge should be done to
remove any loose material .

NOTE: You must remove any wax applied to the door before cleaning (doors are not waxed in the manufacturing process). Using moderate pressure, wipe the door surface with a rag saturated with xylene (xylol). Xylene is a flammable substance, be sure to follow instructions when using. DO NOT allow it to sit on door for extended time. Damage to your door’s paint system can occur if overexposed to this or other solvents.
Pretesting Paint All paints are not created equal . The following test must be performed prior to application on the entire door: Apply paint on a small area of door (following instructions on paint
container) . Allow paint to dry and evaluate for any blistering or peeling . Perform adherence test by applying strip of masking tape over painted
area and peel back tape . Check to see that paint adheres to door and not to tape .
NOTE: If paint shows signs of poor adherence (blistering or peeling) there may be a problem with the paint or surface preparation. DO NOT PROCEED! A new paint or further preparation of surface is called for.
Applying Paint Follow directions on paint container and apply to door . Be sure to allow adequate drying time should you wish to apply a second coat .
NOTE: DO NOT apply paint when door surface temperature is different from manufacturer’s suggested temperature range for application.
Paint Repair Should door’s paint finish become damaged, exposing bare metal, it will become necessary to repair this area to prevent rust from forming . Damaged area should be lightly sanded with medium to fine sandpaper,
making sure to remove all visible red and white rust . Wipe this area with dry, clean rag . Coat sanded area with high quality, rust inhibiting, zinc enriched primer .
This can be found at most paint or hardware stores and should be labeled for covering bare and galvanized steel . Wait time specified on the primer’s instructions before proceeding with painting door .
