To install the new garage door hinges tap the hinge bolts through the bolt holes preferably from the outside. Check that the door jamb on the hinge side is plumb and shim as necessary. Temporarily screw the hinge jamb in place by driving two 8 3 inch drywall screws through it. Screw cable brackets to the door to secure the weather stripping.

Once you re happy with the placement use a pencil to mark where the holes are to attach the hinge. It should be placed several inches in from the edge. Align a hinge in 1 of the corners and in the center of the panel then screw them in place. Locate the flat horizontal surface of your garage door panel.

Use impact driver to mount hinges to the bottom panel of garage door. With a friend pick up the new door panel. Most doors require a minimum of two hinges. Can save you money by not having a service technician coming out.

Stand the bottom door panel on the floor in the garage doorway. Loosen the screws if necessary to bring the jamb back into plumb. One about 2 inches above the top hinge and the other about 2 inches from the center hinge. Leave the nut on the end of the unscrewed bolt to protect it while tapping it out.

One hinge is located 7 inches from the top of the door frame and the other hinge is located 11 inches from the bottom of the door frame. Insert rollers into the brackets attached to the door. Attach weather stripping to the bottom edge of garage door. Place your hinges in the correct location.

Place the second panel on top of the first one. Very easy to do. Once tapped in tighten the nut. Leaving 1 side bare makes fitting and installing the track easier so do this for every panel.
