installation requirements for Wayne Dalton Model 8850 Modern Glass Garage Door

Garage Opening Compatibility

The garage opening must be properly measured, square, and level to support the aluminum frame and glass panels. Precise measurements ensure smooth operation and maintain the clean alignment of the full-view design.

Structural Support & Framing

Adequate header support and reinforced side jambs are required to handle the weight of glass and aluminum components. Proper framing prevents sagging and maintains long-term door performance.

Headroom, Backroom & Side Room Clearance

Sufficient clearance is necessary for track installation, torsion spring placement, and opener compatibility. Full-view doors often require careful planning to preserve panel alignment and visibility.

Glass Panel Installation & Safety

Glass panels must be handled and installed carefully to maintain safety and durability. Professional installation ensures correct sealing, alignment, and long-term performance of the glazing system.

Spring & Counterbalance System

Properly sized torsion springs are required to balance the door’s weight. Optional 25,000-cycle springs are recommended for high-use garages to extend system lifespan.

Opener Setup & Final Testing

The door must be paired with a compatible garage door opener. Installation includes force adjustment, travel limit setup, and safety reversal testing to ensure smooth, secure operation.
