Installation

STEP 8 Install the door bracket

Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILLREQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE

installation of door bracket. Contactyour door manufacturer for reinforcement kit.

Figure 1 showsone 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 kit.

NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this

case you will not need the door bracket; proceed to the next step.

A horizontal and vertical reinforcementis needed for

ghtweight garage doors (ﬁ

berglass, aluminum, steel,

doors with glass panel, etc.) (not provided).

A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long

enough to be secured to two or three vertical supports.

A vertical reinforcement brace should cover the height

of the top panel.
