After pulling it out, keep it under the blankets and locate the two metal brackets on both the left and right sides. Attach the metal brackets with provided screws and locate two of hinges, then connect them to the other long edge of the door section.

Install door sections by keeping the accurate level of the garage door and if you observe disturbance in the level the place a shim on one end and attach hinges to the second section’s long top edge.
