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

# Step 2: Assemble the Door Panels
- Arrange all panels on a flat surface. Connect them seamlessly as per the manufacturer's instructions, typically involving the alignment of interlocking joints.
# Step 3: Install the Door Tracks
- Accurately measure and mark where the tracks will be positioned on the garage walls.
- Employ a level to ensure tracks are perfectly straight and parallel.
- Securely affix the tracks to the walls using brackets and screws for firm support.
# Step 4: Attach the Door to the Tracks
- Carefully lift the door, gently sliding it onto the tracks. This step is best performed by two people for safety and precision.
- Ensure the door is securely seated and glides smoothly along the tracks.
# Step 5: Install the Torsion Spring System or Extension Springs
- This crucial step demands meticulous safety measures. Incorrect installation of springs poses severe injury risks.
- For torsion springs: Mount them precisely to the header bracket above the door opening and attach the winding cones to the shaft with care.
- For extension springs: Install them horizontally on the tracks above the door, ensuring one spring is positioned on each side.

- Adjust the springs if necessary to achieve a perfectly balanced motion and seamless performance.
# Step 9: Install Safety Features

# Step 10: Test the Door Operation
- Reconnect the opener and conduct multiple tests to confirm the door operates smoothly and efficiently with each and every use.
- Test the automatic reverse feature by placing a wooden block where the door closes. The system should reverse seamlessly when any resistance is detected, ensuring safety.
# Step 11: Final Adjustments and Cleanup
- Execute any necessary final adjustments to the door alignment and opener settings to guarantee optimal functionality.
- Restore your workspace to its pristine condition by cleaning up and disposing of all packaging materials responsibly.
