The jambs and header must be securely fastened to sound framingmembers. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used. The jambs must be plumb andthe header level. The jambs should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the top ofthe opening for Torsion counterbalance systems. For low headroom applications, the jambsshould extend to the ceiling height. Minimum side clearance required, from the opening tothe wall, is 3-1/2” (89 mm).IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOODFOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE REPLACED.For Torsion counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be firmlyattached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening.NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do notattach the mounting surface with nails.WEATHERSTRIPS (MAY NOT BE INCLUDED):Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if neces-sary) to properly fit into the header and jambs.NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside the header edge, and temporarilysecure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side of the jamb, fit theweatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the header and 1/8”2Pre-Installation
