How to Install TorqueMaster Flag Brackets (12” & 15” Quick-Install)
If you're replacing or upgrading your Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster spring system, installing new flag brackets is a key step in the process. These brackets anchor the vertical and horizontal tracks to the wall and support the spring tube. Whether you're working with a 12-inch or 15-inch radius track, the installation is simple with the right parts and tools.

🛠 What You’ll Need:
- TorqueMaster Flag Brackets (12” or 15” radius)
- 5/16" lag screws
- 3/8” track bolts and nuts
- Level
- Drill or ratchet
🔧 Step-by-Step Installation:
1. Choose the Correct Bracket
Before you begin, verify whether your garage door uses a 12" or 15" radius track. This will determine which flag bracket you need:
2. Position the Bracket
Place the bracket at the junction where the vertical track meets the horizontal curve. The back of the bracket should sit flush against the wall or jamb board.
3. Secure to the Jamb
Use lag screws through the slotted holes to fasten the bracket to the wall. Make sure it’s level and solid — this is what holds the track and spring system in place.
4. Attach the Track to the Bracket
Line up the vertical track’s pre-punched holes with the bracket and insert the 1/4” bolts with nuts. Tighten everything down securely.
