INSTALLATION—ANCHORING METHODS
ANCHORING METHODS
Correct anchoring of the side columns to the wall and
the floor is important for the smooth and safe operation
of the door. The wall material should be strong enough
to support the weight of the door and all wall anchors.
Figure 4 through Figure 7 show anchoring methods for
various types of walls. Use the method that is best
suited for your particular installation site.
All necessary anchoring hardware and material required
for the installation of this door is the responsibility of the
door owner. If you have any questions, call your Rytec
representative or the Rytec Technical Support
Department at 800-628-1909.
