MAINTENANCE AND FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE
While factory-applied finishes for steel garage doors are so durable that they will last many years longer than ordinary paints, it is desirable to clean them thoroughly on a routine basis.
Apparent discoloration of the paint may occur when it has been exposed in dirt-laden atmospheres for long periods of time. Slight chalking may also cause some change in appearance
in areas of strong sunlight. A good cleaning will generally restore the appearance of these coatings and render repainting unnecessary. An occasional light cleaning will also help maintain
an aesthetically pleasing appearance. To maintain the original finish of the garage doors, the only regular maintenance necessary is that of annual washing. Mild solutions of detergents
or household ammonia will aid in the removal of most dirt, and the following are recommended levels:
One cup of Tide, or other common detergents, which contain less than 0.5% phosphate, dissolved into five gallons of warm water. NOTE: The use of detergents containing
greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended for use in general cleaning of garage doors. NEVER BLEND CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
SURFACE PREPARATION FOR PAINTING
Wax on the surface must be removed or paint peeling/flaking will result. To remove this wax, it will be necessary to lightly scuff the surface with a gray (not green!) 3M ScotchBrite
pad saturated with soapy water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only, to remove any loose dust or soap film.
Surface scratches, which have not exposed the metal substrate, can be lightly buffed or sanded with 0000 steel wool or No. 400 sand paper to create a smoother surface. Care must be
taken to not expose the substrate under the paint (see Note No. 2). Once this exposed condition exists, the likelihood for rusting is greatly increased. See the following paragraph if the
metal substrate is observed.
Exposed substrate must be treated to prevent rust from forming (see Note No. 2). Sand the exposed area lightly and paint with high quality metal primer to protect from corrosion.
Follow drying time on primer can label before applying topcoat.
The surface to be recoated must not be to smooth or the repaint material will not adhere to it (see Note No. 2). It is advisable to test a representative area to evaluate adhesion. If poor
adhesion is observed, the surface must be abraded by sanding or buffing using grades mentioned above. Care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint.
PAINTING
After the surface has been properly prepared it must be allowed to dry thoroughly, then coated immediately with a premium quality latex house paint. Follow the paint label directions
explicitly. Oil base paint is not recommended. Please note that if substrate is exposed, painting with latex paint may cause accelerated rusting of steel.
NOTES:
1. Repainting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted as this condition is totally beyond door manufacturers control.
2. If the steel door surface has a finish painted textured surface representing wood grain, stucco, etc., this step should not be attempted as danger of exposing substrate is
greatly increased.
3. Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.
4. Follow directions explicitly on the paint and solvent container labels for proper applications of coatings and disposal of containers. Pay particular attention to those
directions involving acceptable conditions in which to paint.
ACRYLIC GLAZING CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. To clean acrylic glazing wash with plenty of nonabrasive soap or detergent and water. Use the bare hand to feel and dislodge any caked dirt or mud. A soft, grit-free cloth,
sponge or chamois may be used to wipe the surface. Do not use hard or rough cloth that will scratch the acrylic glazing. Dry with a clean damp chamois.
2. Grease and oil may be removed with kerosene or a good grade of naphtha (No aromatic content.). Users of these solvents should become familiar with their properties to
handle them safely.
3. Do not use: Window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, leaded or ethyl gasolines, or solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.

STEP 5. Center and level (or support to a known grade level) the bottom section in the opening, as seen in Fig. K. Temporarily
attach the vertical tracks to the jambs. Allow 1/2 clearance between the section and the track as illustrated in the sideroom
illustrations (page 3).
It is important that the top of each track is at the same level. (shim if necessary)
Products being installed to precast or block must use a 3/8 x 3 long sleeve anchor to attach the verticals to the building. Use the
slots in the wall angle as a drill template, drill a 3/8 hole (3-1/2 deep) and secure to anchor.

STEP 10: Position shaft(s) with spring system components to proper elevation, level and secure each end bracket to the horizontal
reinforcing angle using (2) 3/8 x 3/4 truss bolts and nuts. Anchor the wall mounting flange of the end bracket to the jamb
using (2) 5/16 x 1-5/8 lags (wood), (2) 5/16 x 1 self-drilling and tapping screws (steel), or (2) 3/8 x 3 sleeve anchors
(precast).
NOTE: Spring pads must be securely anchored before proceeding. The pads must by flush with the jambs.
Attach the spring support brackets to the pad(s) using the following fasteners:
Pre-Cast: Secure each spring support bracket using (2) 1/2 x 3 sleeve anchors. This installation will require the 1/2 anchors to
be secured to the building, then securing the brackets to the anchors as detailed in Fig. N Page 11.
Steel: Secure each spring support bracket using (3) 5/16 x 1 self-drilling and tapping screws as detailed in Fig. N Page 11.
Block Construction: Attach perforated angle 18 long to support bracket(s) using (2) 3/8 x 1-1/4 bolts and nuts. Chamfer angle
to clear top section high arc. Secure support brackets and perforated angle to block using (4) 3/8 x 2-1/2 sleeve anchors as
detailed in Fig. N Page 11.
Secure the stationary cone(s) (dead end) to the spring support bracket(s) using 3/8 bolts and nuts. Keep spring warning tags
clearly visible.
NOTE: The coupler support brackets only require (2) fasteners. The spring support brackets require (2) fasteners in the lower
slot and hole, then (1) fastener in the top slot.
WARNING: Failure to use proper number of fasteners can result in sudden spring tension release, causing severe injury or death.
NOTE: Each 3-3/4, 6 and Duplex spring is secured to a separate center support bracket. DO NOT attach two springs of this size
to one support bracket.
STEP 11: Feed the cable attached to the left hand bottom bracket up the vertical track, behind the roller shafts and secure to the
left hand drum. Push the drum up against the end bearing bracket and secure to the shaft by tightening the set screws (solid
shafts use 1/4 key(s) and set screws to secure drums).
Rotate drum and shaft until cable is taut, then apply vice grips to shaft, with end resting against header. This will hold cable taut
and on drum. There must be at least 1/2 wrap of cable on the drum. If not, contact Wayne-Dalton for proper length cables.
Attach other cable to right hand drum. Push drum against end bearing bracket and rotate drum until cable is taut. Secure drum
to shaft by tightening the set screws. Cable tension must be equal on both drums on single shaft applications. On split shaft
applications, apply vice grips to both shafts and secure bolts in coupling after springs are fully wound.
If top section is not installed, do so now, before winding springs. Make sure hardware is securely attached to all sections.
Carefully following spring winding instructions detailed in Fig. M on Page 10, wind spring(s), using the appropriate 1/2, 5/8 or
3/4 diameter winding rods of sufficient length.
STEP 6. Secure the end hinges, (one side only) center hinges, and strutting ( if applicable) as previously illustrated. Locate the
Lock Section (usually the second section) and insert a roller into the end hinge. Stack this section into the opening by hooking the
roller in the vertical track and lowering it onto the bottom section. Insert a roller into the appropriate end hinge and insert roller
into vertical track on the opposite end. Secure end hinge to the section using the self-drilling and tapping screws. Align the
section edges, flip up the upper hinge leafs and secure to the lock section using the self-drilling and tapping screws. Continue to
hardware and stack the remaining sections in the proper sequence. Attach the top brackets to the upper corners, of the top
section, using self drilling and tapping screws as shown in Fig. J.
NOTE : Top section maybe installed now or may wait until the last step (installer preference)
STEP 7. Adjust the vertical track from 1/2 spacing at the bottom section to 3/4 at the top section. Refer to page 3. Permanently
secure each vertical to the jambs using the following fasteners:
Steel Jambs: 5/16 x 1 self drilling and tapping screw.
Wood Jambs: 5/16 x 1-5/8 lag screw.
Precast or Block: 3/8 x 3 sleeve anchor.
The left hand vertical track assembly indicates the standard fastener spacing (Fig. K page 7).
STEP 8: Use chain or cable to temporarily suspend the rear of the horizontal tracks. Secure the horizontal reinforcing angle to
the wall angle using (1) 3/8 x 3/4 truss bolt and nut, then secure the horizontal track to the splice plate or flagangle using (2)
track bolts and hex flange nuts.
STEP 9: Torsion spring assemblies can be of several configurations depending on door size and weight. Left or right hand
spring(s) must be identified by the color of the winding cone. (Refer to Fig. L and pages 8-10)
Assemble torsion spring system components to applicable configuration shown on pages 8-10. Ensure that spring warning tags
are securely wired to all stationary spring cones.
WARNING: Install support brackets to solid structural members only. Do not install over dry wall or paneling.
NOTE: Use a chalk line or line level to ensure all support brackets are in line.
