Yearly cleaning and inspecting your wood garage door is easy: - If the finish appears to be in good condition, cleaning and touch-up work is often adequate.
- Remove dirt, chalk and mildew by washing your wood door with a diluted solution of mild household detergent at a concentration of one (1) cup in five (5) gallons of warm water.
- Rinse with clear water after washing and allow to dry completely
- If the finish is badly eroded and thin, clean the areas where the wood substrate is showing through as described above and prime those areas using an oil/alkyd primer.
- Follow the cleaning and priming with a complete priming and finish coating.
- If there is no bare wood showing through, finish coating only may be required.

- Wayne-Dalton makes installation safe and simple. The easier it is to install your garage door, the more likely it is that your door will be installed correctly for years of superior operation. Though it is not a requirement, measuring your garage door before you first speak to your distributor will save you valuable time.
- You will need the following materials to measure your garage: 25-foot metal tape measure, note pad or clipboard, pens or pencils in different colors.

| Note: |
| Double car garage doors require an additional 1 1/2" headroom. | | * |
| Track radius subject to regional availability. Check with salesperson for details. | | Note: |
| Add 2 1/2" additional headroom and 34" additional depth into room if door is motor operated. |
- You can refer to the diagram below for help in sketching a diagram of your own garage. Find the following measurements to the closest fraction of an inch. Write the number down next to the corresponding area in the diagram of your garage.
 |
| 1. | Exact finished opening width | | 2. | Exact finished opening height | | 3. | Sideroom - distance from edge of opening to any wall or other obstruction | | 4. | Headroom - distance from top of finished opening to ceiling or underside of joists | | 5. | Depth into room - distance from finished opening to back point where hardware or the automatic operator will extend. |
IMPORTANT: Consult your local authorized Wayne-Dalton outlet for your special needs.
- To prepare your pre-finished steel garage door for painting, it is important to give it a good cleaning, but do not wax. Remove surface wax to prevent the paint from peeling or flaking.
- Remove surface scratches which have not exposed the metal substrate by lightly buffing or sanding with 0000 steel wool or No. 400 sand paper to create a smoother surface for painting. Do not over buff or sand the garage door, because paint will not adhere to the door if the surface is too smooth.
- Do not attempt to remove scratches if your steel door surface has a finish painted texture representing wood grain, stucco, etc. because of the increased danger of exposing the metal substrate. Simply paint them with a high quality metal primer. Follow drying time on primer can label before applying topcoat.
- To prevent rust from forming, treat any scratches that have exposed the substrate by sanding the exposed area lightly and then painting with a high quality metal primer. Follow drying time on primer can label before applying topcoat.
- After properly preparing the surface according to the above instructions and allowing it to dry thoroughly, coat the door with a premium quality latex house paint. Follow the paint label directions explicitly.
- Oil base paint is not recommended.
- Note that if substrate is exposed, painting with latex paint may cause accelerated rusting of steel. Follow previous instructions on priming the door for painting.

Insulation is important in a garage door for many reasons. In addition to helping control the temperature, Wayne-Dalton's patented design and foamed-in-place insulation add strength to your door while reducing noise. The amount of insulation a garage door provides is represented in its R-value, which represents its resistance to heat flow. It is important to select a garage door with an R-value that is consistent with your local climate and lifestyle. Ask yourself these questions when deciding the R-value that best fits your needs: - Is my garage climate controlled? If you heat or cool your garage, insulation is very important. Having a well-insulated garage door will keep your heating or cooling costs down by reducing the heat flow through the door.
- What climate do I live in? Someone living in an extreme hot or cold climate would likely require a garage door with a high insulation value. Even in milder climates, having an insulated door can still affect the temperature in your garage by a noticeable amount, as well as provide additional benefits.
- Is my garage attached to my house? If your garage is attached to your house, the insulation value of your garage door affects the insulation of your whole house. The R-value of your walls affects how much heat escapes from your house into your garage, and the R-value of your garage door affects how much heat then escapes into the environment. Insulating your garage well will help keep down the heating and cooling costs of your home. In addition, Insulation helps reduce the noise of your garage door as it opens and closes.
- Do I spend a great deal of time in my garage? People who like to work on their cars or who have workshops in their garages may want their garage to be more insulated, especially if in a colder climate.
- Is there a bedroom or other interior room above my garage? Many houses are built with rooms over the garage. Whether this room is a part of the house or is a separate apartment-style room above an unattached garage, the insulation value of the garage can greatly affect the insulation of the room. And, again, a higher insulation R-value can equal lower heating and cooling bills. In addition, insulation helps reduce noise.

We no longer provide this tool with our products. It was simply used to make the measurement between the edge of the door and the flag angle. This measurement should be 1 11/16" - 1 3/4"
1. Make a vertical line at half the height of the section.
2. Place a mark 1.25" below the mark from Step 1.
3. Place a mark 2.5" below the mark from Step 1.
The cables wrap around the drum, pulling the door up. When let loose, they bring the door down with the help of gravity. The cables must also be completely behind the door and rollers.
