How to Install a Garage Door
2
After attaching weatherstripping to the bottom
edge of the first garage door panel, set the
panel in the doorway and fix it in place by
driving nails partway into each jamb at an angle
so that they wedge the door in place.
3
Assemble the various pieces for the vertical,
curved, and horizontal tracks, following the
manufacturers instructions.
4
Install the rollers and any necessary brackets on
the garage door section and any wall- or
jamb-mounted brackets according to the
manufacturers directions.
5
Install the rollers into the second section. With
a helper, lift the section, set it in place, and
slip its rollers into the vertical tracks at both
sides of the doorway.
6
Fasten the hinges of the first section to the
second one. For most types of doors, a power
drill with a screwdriver tip or nut driver will
make this much faster and easier.
7
Install the third section, using the same
procedures. Check the door for level and the
vertical track for plumb. Fasten the top plates
of both vertical tracks to the wall.
8
Attach the jamb brackets to the tracks and fasten
them to the framing members. Again, make sure the
lag screws go into sound framing. 
9
Install the curved and horizontaltracks,  position
ing the curved track as shown. Bolt the pieces
together.
10
Check the horizontal track for level, and then
cut the rear track hanger to the length necessary
for supporting the track.
11
The type of garage door shown provides the
necessary lift assistance with a torque tube. If
you intend to use an opener, wait to install the
tube.
