Step 4 Installing Additional Door Sections

Follow the door manufacturer’s instructions and assemble door section 2. Note that each door section uses a different

height hinge at the ends of the door and the same size hinge in the center of the door.

When the second door section is assembled, install the rollers and install the door section into the vertical door tracks

sliding it down from the top of the tracks. With the section in place attach the door hinges connecting section one to sec-

tion two.

Repeat this assembly for door section three. If your door is taller than 7’ install all but the top section. The top section will

be installed after the horizontal track (and low headroom kit if required) is installed.

If the Versatube building that you have has 4’ on center frame spacing you will tie the back of the horizontal tracks up to

the rafter above at the end of the tracks. If the your building has the frame sections on 5’ centers you will have to add an

extension

piece of perforated angle (1 1/2” x 1 1/2” x 16 GA.) to your tracks. This extension will allow you to connect the

vertical perforated angle to the rafter above. (See illustration on next page) Perforated angle is not provided.

For 5’ on center frames cut the angle lengths to 28”. Measure from the back of the horizontal tracks 8 3/4” and make a

mark on the outside of the track. Place the extension angle piece on the track as shown with the end of the angle exten-

sion lined up with your mark. Clamp the track and extension angle together and drill two 5/16” hole through the door track

using the two of the holes in the perforated angle as a guide. (See illustration) Attach the extension angles to the door

tracks with two 5/16” x 3/4” hex head bolts with split lock washers and nuts as shown. Nuts and bolts are not provided.

Step 5

Attach the Horizontal Tracks to the Vertical Tracks following the manufacturer’s instructions. If you are attaching a low

headroom kit you will also refer to the instructions included with that kit. To temporally support the back of the tracks use

a string tied to the back of the perforated angle extensions. You should be able to find a place to lace the string through

the sheet metal and over the rafter. If you prefer, you can drive a self-drilling screw into the side of the rafter part way and

tie the string to the screw.

The back of the perforated angle extension (that you attached to the horizontal tracks) will be fastened vertically to the

rafter above with a piece of perforated angle and a brace piece placed at an angle. Use 5/16” x 3/4” hex bolts with lock

washers and nuts (not provided) to attach the angle pieces together and #12 x 1” painted self-drilling screws with rubber

washer (the same screws you used to attach the sheet metal on the building) to attach the perforated angles to the rafter

above.

Note: The perforated angle and 5/16” x 3/4” hex bolts, lock washers and nuts are not provided with the garage door or

conversion kit. They must be purchased separately. See illustration on next page.
