Beware of ceiling thickness when drilling (concrete ceiling for pre-fabricated garages)!
Required minimum ceiling thickness for dowels and screws: 50 mm. Standard dowels
are delivered with the package. Where required use special dowels which are suitable
for foundations.
Door Mechanics
Can the door be easily opened and closed by
hand? If not then have the door adjusted by
skilled mechanics.
If there is no second means of entry into the garage an external
release mechanism must be fitted (see Accessories). In this way the door
can be opened manually in the event of a power failure or fault.
A secure mechanical end stop is necessary to serve as a reference point for
adjusting the upper stop (e.g. re-setting after an obstacle has been sensed).
The garage door drive is self-locking and holds the door closed. Existing
locking systems can be automated (see "Accessories"), or removed.
