Garage Door Installation · Step 2 of 15

Upon receiving the custom garage door and its components, begin by assembling the side tracks. These tracks are typically made of galvanized steel and come in sections that need to be bolted together. Attach the horizontal arms to the assembled side tracks. This pre-assembly allows for easier installation when lifting the entire track system into place. Once assembled, lift the tracks and mount them securely to the vertical timber posts installed in Step 1. Use an impact driver to fasten the tracks firmly to the packers on the wall, ensuring they are level and properly aligned.
