With the vertical tracks and most panels in place, install the horizontal tracks. These are typically curved sections that connect the top of the vertical tracks to horizontal supports extending into the garage. With the help of your partner and using ladders for safe access, lift each horizontal track section. Align the curved end with the top of the vertical track and screw them securely together using the appropriate fasteners. Repeat this process for both sides of the garage door.
