How to install the aluminum garage door

 

Installing a garage door requires careful planning, precise measurements, and attention to detail. Here are some general steps to follow:

Prepare the opening: Ensure the opening is level, square, and plumb. Install any required jamb extensions and/or weatherstripping.

Install the track and brackets: Mount the vertical track to the jamb, following the manufacturer's instructions. Attach the horizontal track to the ceiling, making sure it is level and secure. Then install the track brackets onto the track and jamb.

Install the springs: Install the torsion springs onto the torsion bar, following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the springs are under proper tension.

Install the panels: Install the door panels into the tracks, starting with the bottom panel and working your way up. Ensure the panels are level and plumb, and attach them to the track brackets.

Install the hardware: Install the hinges onto the panels, following the manufacturer's instructions. Then install the rollers onto the hinges, and attach the lift handles and cables.

Install the opener: Install the garage door opener onto the ceiling, following the manufacturer's instructions. Attach the rail to the opener and the trolley to the door.

Test the operation: Test the door to ensure it opens and closes smoothly and securely. Make any necessary adjustments to the hardware or door.

Finish the installation: Seal around the perimeter of the door with weatherstripping to prevent air and water infiltration.
