Step-by-Step Installation Guide:
# Step 1: Prepare the Workspace

# Step 2: Assemble the Door Panels
- Lay out all the panels on a flat surface and connect them according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually involves sliding the panels together with interlocking joints.
# Step 3: Install the Door Tracks

- Secure the tracks to the walls with brackets and screws.
# Step 4: Attach the Door to the Tracks
- Lift the door and carefully slide it onto the tracks. This may require two people.
- Ensure the door is properly seated and rolls smoothly on the tracks.
# Step 5: Install the Torsion Spring System or Extension Springs

- For extension springs, install them horizontally on the tracks above the door, with one spring on each side.
# Step 6: Attach the Bottom Brackets

- Test the opener to ensure it operates the door smoothly and safely.
# Step 8: Adjust the Door Balance

- Adjust the springs if necessary to achieve balance.
# Step 9: Install Safety Features
- Install safety sensors at the bottom of the tracks to prevent the door from closing on objects or people.
# Step 10: Test the Door Operation
- Reconnect the opener and test the door several times to ensure it opens and closes smoothly.
- Test the automatic reverse feature by placing a wooden block under the door as it closes. The door should reverse when it meets resistance.
# Step 11: Final Adjustments and Cleanup
- Make any final adjustments to the door and opener settings.
- Clean up the workspace and dispose of any packaging materials.
