support. You will need to locate the structural beams in the ceiling which are generally 400mm apart.
ii. does it have exposed beams? The opener is mounted to a perforated angle which must be securely fastened
to a structural support like the exposed beams. You may need to install a 40mm thick board (not supplied)
between structural supports.
