Great opinion! This development was built by Lennar. 2nd largest home builder in the US. Not my build, but I see this exact construction everywhere without issue on single-wide doors. Once every year or two, across thousands of jobs, I see the pad pulled away from the frame when some old 16' wide door was installed with extension springs (not done anymore) and the cable broke. Otherwise all good - literally zero issues with this method. But if you feel strongly about this, you should reach out to Lennar.

Thanks for the kind words!

This was a major development in my area. Not my framing and not my installation. This door is almost certainly getting extension springs (on 8' x 7' pan doors by a big builder), so spring pad would not be used. I agree on the 2 x 6's - they're better, like I said in the video around 1:06 - but 2 x 4's are acceptable and way more commonly used. If these 2 x 6's were nailed directly to the wall, the door would be sitting between the foundation sides. The 2 x 6's would need to be notched around the foundation and bottom jamb bracket removed and reinstalled way above where it should be. Could also create a lot of difficulty installing the sensors. I discuss those issues, and others, in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idiKedahrraReoE.html

H frame uprights, 2x6, really should go all the way and nailed to the top plate. That's where all the weight of the door is carried.
