The assembly comprises a track (110, 112, 114) for supporting the overhead door sections and a horizontal support bracket (80) for supporting the track (110, 112, 114). The assembly further comprises a flag bracket (140) for mounting the track (110, 112, 114) and the support bracket (80) to a structural support, and a tab (90, 120, 130) for attaching the track (110, 112, 114) to the support bracket (80) and the flag bracket (140). A related fastening system for use with overhead sectional door components comprises first (80, 140) and second (112, 114) components, a tab (90) extending from the first component (80, 140) for engaging the second component (112, 114), and a tab slot (120, 130) in the second component for receiving the tab (90) of the first component (80, 140).
