Installation
Attach the Header Bracket
You can attach the header bracket either to the wall above the garage door, or to the ceiling. Follow the instructions
which will work best for your particular requirements. Do not install the header bracket over drywall. If installing
into masonry, use concrete anchors (not provided).
OPTION A - Wall Installation
1. Center the bracket (I) on the vertical centerline with the bottom edge of the bracket on the horizontal line as
shown (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling).
2. Mark the vertical set of bracket holes. Drill 3/16" pilot holes and fasten the bracket securely to a structural
support with the lag screws (II) provided.
OPTION B - Ceiling Installation
1. Extend the vertical centerline onto the ceiling as shown.
2. Center the bracket (I) on the vertical mark, no more than 6" (15 cm) from the wall. Make sure the arrow is
pointing away from the wall. The bracket can be mounted flush against the ceiling when clearance is
minimal.
3. Mark the side holes. Drill 3/16" pilot holes and fasten bracket securely to a structural support with the lag
screws (II) provided.
