Abstract
Abstract A factory -assembled overhead door, preferably of the ''''rolled steel'''' type, having side mounting members by which the door is mounted in place traversely along the top of a door opening. The side mounting members additionally cooperate with removable structure to form a protective enclosure about the door. This enclosure enables both safe transportation and greatly facilitated installation of the door since it provides protection against crushing or the like until after the completion of the installation of the door.
