1.3 FASTENER RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR FITTING GARAGE DOORS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON FASTENERS
Coach bolts/screws supplied with this product are suitable for fastening to timber jambs.
Correct and safe fastening to other materials may require different fasteners.
The installer must select and use fasteners appropriate to the material into which they are being fixed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. For installation to materials not covered in the above chart, the installer should seek expert advice from a qualifi ed builder.
2. Minimum length of fastener does not exclude use of longer lengths. Decision must be made by fi tter to ensure adequate strength.
3. Recommendations for old materials or materials not in good condition are not included. If in doubt about the strength of the material seek specialist
advice.
4. Fasteners for sectional door spring brackets and top track brackets in masonry should be at least 5/16” x 2.5” long or metric equivalent.
5. HEBEL Fischer type fastener should be installed 150mm from edge of blocks. Minimum overlap of door should be approximately 115mm (S1),
110mm (S3) and 90mm (Panelift). Add 50mm more if mounted on panels instead of blocks.
