Door Section Identification
Preparing the Opening
Graduated end and center hinges are always pre-attached at the top of each section (except
top section) and the graduated end hinges are stamped for identification, #1, #2, #3, and #4
(#4 only on five section doors). The stamp identifies the stacking sequence of the section. The
sequence is always determined by #1 being the bottom section to #3 or #4 being the highest
intermediate section. If the stamp on the graduated end hinge is illegible, refer to the section
side view illustration. The section side view illustration shows the graduated end hinge profile of
all sections, and can also be used to identify each section.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU JUST REMOVED YOUR ExISTING DOOR OR YOU ARE INSTALLING A NEW
DOOR, COMPLETE ALL STEPS IN PREPARING THE OPENING.
To ensure secure mounting of track brackets, side and center brackets, or steel angles to new or
retro-fit construction, it is recommended to follow the procedures outlined in DASMA technical
The inside perimeter of your garage door opening should be framed with wood jamb and header
material. The jambs and header must be securely fastened to sound framing members. It is
recommended that 2” x 6” lumber be used. The jambs must be plumb and the header level. The
jambs should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the top of the opening for TorqueMas-
ter® counterbalance systems. For low headroom applications, the jambs should extend to the
ceiling height. Minimum side clearance required, from the opening to the wall, is 3-1/2” (89
mm).
The BOTTOM SECTION can be identified by #1 graduated end hinges, the factory attached
bottom astragal, the factory attached bottom corner brackets, and by the bottom corner bracket
warning labels on each end stile.
The LOCk SECTION can be identified by #2 graduated end hinges.
The INTERMEDIATE SECTION can be identified by #3 graduated end hinges. The section will
have a warning label attached to either the right or left hand end stile.
IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD
NOTE: #4 graduated end hinges are used on the fourth section of five section doors.
FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND, MUST BE REPLACED.
The TOP SECTION can be identified with no pre-installed graduated end or center hinges.
For TorqueMaster® counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting surface (2” x 6”) must be firmly
attached to the wall, above the header at the center of the opening.
NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid splitting the lumber. Do not attach
the mounting surface with nails.
WEATHERSTRIPS (MAy NOT BE INCLuDED):
Depending on the size of your door, you may have to cut or trim the weatherstrips (if necessary)
to properly fit into the header and jambs.
NOTE: If nailing product at 40°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weatherstrips to the header and jambs at this time.
For Quick Install track: For the header, align the weatherstrip with the inside edge of the header
and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side of the

jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the header
and flush with the inside edge of the jamb. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with equally
spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the
opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
For Fully Adjustable track: For the header, align the weatherstrip 1/8” to 1/4” inside the header
edge, and temporarily secure it to the header with equally spaced nails. Starting at either side
of the jamb, fit the weatherstrip up tight against the temporarily attached weatherstrip in the
header and 1/8” to 1/4” inside the jamb edge. Temporarily secure the weatherstrip with equally
spaced nails. Repeat for other side. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the
opening during installation. Equally space nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
Headroom requirement: Headroom is defined as the space needed above the top of the door
for tracks, springs, etc. to allow the door to open properly. If the door is to be motor operated,
2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is required.
NOTE: 6” low headroom conversion kit is available for 12” radius only. Contact your local
Wayne-Dalton dealer.
Backroom requirement: Backroom is defined as the distance needed from the opening back
into the garage to allow the door to open fully.

Maintenance
Wood (Painting)
Using painter’s tape, tape off all metal surfaces. A premium quality latex house based finish
paint is recommended for use over the factory latex based primer
Cleaning Your Garage Door
Painting the wood surfaces with at least 2 coats of finish paint over the primer. Follow paint
manufacture’s label directions completely for all coatings. Once finished, remove painter’s tape
and touch up where necessary.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER ON YOUR GARAGE DOOR!
While factory-applied finishes on garage doors are durable, it is desirable to clean them on a
routine basis. Some discoloration of the finish may occur when a door has been exposed to
dirt-laden atmosphere for a period of time. Slight chalking may also occur as a result of direct
exposure to sunlight.
Wood (Maintenance and Refinishing)
Yearly inspection of all the wood surfaces of the garage door(s) will reveal the extent of weather-
ing and the need for refinishing. When the finish becomes eroded or thin, clean and prime the
areas of deterioration. Follow up with a complete refinishing of the door(s), according to the
above directions, as well as the manufacturer’s label directions. Protecting the door(s) from
prolonged exposure to moisture and sunlight is vital in extending the service life of your garage
door(s).
Cleaning the door will generally restore the appearance of the finish. To maintain an aesthetically
pleasing finish of the garage door, a periodic washing of the garage door is recommended.
THE FOLLOWINg CLEANINg SOLuTION IS RECOMMENDED:
A mild detergent solution consisting of one cup detergent (with less than 0.5% phosphate) dis-
solved into five gallons of warm water will aid in the removal of most dirt.
Operation and Maintenance
NOTE: The use of detergents containing greater than 0.5% phosphate is not recommended for
use in general cleaning of garage doors.
NOTE: Be sure to clean behind weatherstrips on both sides and top of door.
CAuTION: NEVER MIx CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.

it will be necessary to lightly scuff the surface with a fine steel wool pad, saturated with soapy
water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only, to remove any loose particles
and any soapy film residue.
IMPORTANT: PULL ROPES MUST BE REMOVED AND LOCKS MUST BE REMOVED OR MADE
INOPERATIVE IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION.
When connecting a trolley type garage door opener to this door, an opener and/or trolley bracket
must be securely attached to the top section of the door, along with any u-bars provided with
the door. Always use the opener and/or trolley bracket supplied with the door. To avoid possible
damage to your door, Wayne-Dalton recommends reinforcing the top section on models 8000,
8100, 8200 and 9100 doors with a u-bar (may or may not be supplied). The installation of the
opener must be according to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted
properly. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your electric opener for complete details on
installation, operation, maintenance and testing of the opener.
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. Once the substrate is exposed, the likelihood for
rusting is greatly increased.
If substrate is exposed, it must be treated to prevent rust from forming. Sand the exposed area
lightly and paint with a high quality metal primer, specifically intended for galvanized surfaces,
to protect the area from corrosion. Follow the drying time on primer can label before applying
topcoat. The surface of the factory-applied finish, that is being painted, must not be too smooth,
or the paint will not adhere to it. It is advisable to test in an inconspicuous area, to evaluate
adhesion. If poor adhesion is observed, surface preparation for painting thefactory-applied finish,
must be repeated until desired results are achieved. Again, care must be taken to not expose the
substrate under the paint.
MAINTAININg yOuR gARAgE DOOR…
Before you begin, read all warning labels affixed to the door and the installation instructions
and owner’s manual. Perform routine maintenance steps once a month, and have the door
professionally inspected once a year. Review your Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual
for the garage door. These instructions are available at no charge from Wayne-Dalton, A Division
com and reference TDS 151, 167 and 179.
Steel (Painting)
After surface has been properly prepared, it must be allowed to dry thoroughly, then coated
immediately with a premium quality latex house paint. Follow paint label directions explicitly. Oil
base or solvent base paints are not recommended. Please note that if substrate is exposed and
not properly primed, painting with latex paint may cause accelerated rusting of the steel in the
exposed area.
MONTHLy INSPECTIONS:
1. Visual Inspection: Closely inspect jambs, header and mounting surface. Any wood found not
to be structurally sound must be replaced. Inspect the springs, cables, rollers, pulleys, back
hangs and other door hardware for signs of worn or broken parts. Tighten any loose screws
and/or bolts. Check exterior surface of the door sections for any minor cracks. Verify door has
not shifted right and/or left in the opening. If you suspect problems, have a trained door system
technician make the repairs.
NOTES:
1. Repainting of finish painted steel doors cannot be warranted, as this condition is totally
beyond the door manufacturer’s control.
2. Consult a professional coatings contractor if in doubt about any of the above directions.
3. Follow directions explicitly on the paint container labels for proper applications of coatings and
disposal of containers. Pay particular attention to acceptable weather and temperature condi-
tions in which to paint.

Wood (Preparation and Painting)
These instructions apply to all Wood Doors produced and sold by Wayne-Dalton. The exterior
surfaces, as well as all edges must be properly painted and maintained if satisfactory perfor-
mance is to be achieved. The purpose for painting is to both protect and beautify the substrates.
These requirements for finishing are intended to achieve both functions for reasonable service
life of wood doors. Wood doors must be completely finished prior to installation, to ensure that
the interior and exterior surfaces, as well as all edges of the doors are properly protected against
moisture or other contaminants. Wood doors, in a non-finished condition, must not be trans-
ported or stored where the wood surfaces can be exposed to moisture or other contaminants.
Wood (Surface Preparation)
All surfaces must be clean, free of dust and dirt and any other contamination.

INSTRuCTIONS.
TORquEMASTER® PLuS SPRINgS: Pawl knob(s) (located on the TorqueMaster® end brackets
above the door) should be engaged to prevent the door from rapidly descending in case of
spring failure or forceful manual operation.
TORSION SPRINgS: The torsion springs (located above the door) should only be adjusted by a
trained door systems technician. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself.
ExTENSION SPRINgS: A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension
spring (located above the horizontal tracks) to help contain the spring if it breaks.
2. DOOR BALANCE: Periodically test the balance of your door. If you have a garage door opener,
use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this test. Start with
the door in the fully closed position. Lift the door to check its balance. Adjust Torquemaster® or
Extension spring(s), if door lifts by itself (hard to pull down) or if door is difficult to lift (easy to
pull down). DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust Torsion Springs yourself. To adjust Torquemaster®
or Extension spring(s), refer to your installation instructions and owner’s manual. If in question
about any of the procedures, do not perform the work. Instead, have it adjusted by a trained door
systems technician.
3. LuBRICATION: The door should open and close smoothly. Ensure the door rollers are rotating
freely when opening and closing the door. If rollers do not rotate freely, clean the door tracks, re-
moving dirt and any foreign substances. Clean and lubricate (use a non-silicon based lubricant)
hinges, steel rollers and bearings. DO NOT lubricate plastic idler bearings, nylon rollers, door
track. DO NOT oil a cylinder lock, if actuation is difficult use a graphite dust to lubricate.

Lifetime Limited Warranty
Model 6100
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Lifetime Limited Warranty, Wayne-Dalton (“Manufacturer”) warrants the steel sections of the door, which is
described at the top of this page, for as long as you own the door against:
i) The door becoming inoperable due to rust-through of the steel skin from the core of the door section, due to cracking, splitting, or other deterioration of the steel
skin, or due to structural failure caused by separation or degradation of the foam insulation.
ii)Peeling of the original paint on the door as a result of a defect in the original paint or in the application of the original paint coating, in cases where the door
sections and the original paint: (a) have not been subjected to adverse atmospheric conditions or contaminates (such as salt water or other marine environment,
or to toxic or abrasive substances, including those in the air); (b) have been maintained in compliance with Manufacturer’s recommendations; and (c) have
not been subject to physical abrasion, impacted by a hard object, or punctured (including without limitation “paint rub” occurring in metal to metal contact and
movement).
The Manufacturer warrants the factory applied wood overlay of the above-described door, against defects in material and workmanship for a period of ONE (1)
yEAR from the date of installation, provided all exterior surfaces and edges of the wood overlay are properly painted according to Wayne-Dalton’s Maintenance and
Painting Instructions found in your Installations Instructions and Owner’s Manual. Bowing, checking and/ or cracking of the door overlay components is not considered a
defect, but is an uncontrollable characteristic of wood.
The Manufacturer warrants the garage door hardware (except springs) and the tracks of the above-described door, for as long as you own the door, against
defects in material and workmanship, subject to all the terms and conditions below.
The Manufacturer warrants those component parts of the door not covered by the preceding provisions of this Lifetime Limited Warranty against defects in
material and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) yEAR from the date of installation.
The Manufacturer warrants the factory-applied finish and the factory attached Decatrim against fading and cosmetic changes from the time of installation for
TWO (2) yEARS. If the sectional steel portion of door is re-stained or re-painted, the TWO (2) yEARS warranty for the factory-applied finish is void. The Model 6100
factory attached Decatrim is warranted against warping, peeling, chalking, or delamination from the time of installation for TWO (2) yEARS.
