03. PREPARE THE OPENING
04. PREPARE THE GUIDE RAILS
Check:
i.
Structure is sound/even & can carry the weight of the door
ii.
No obstacles in fitting footprint eg. no sharp objects, pipes,
cables, bumps etc. sticking out from the pillars, lintel or header
to twist the guides, distort the fascia or catch on the curtain
iii.
Floor is flat/level
If necessary install a sub-frame to ensure secure, flush and
level fixing (Recommended minimum 70 X 70 PAR).
If the guides require cutting down refer to the ‘Widths and
Heights’ information in Section 1. If face fixing where possible set
the guide height at least 100mm above the structural opening
height to maximise drive through height.
The top of the guide rails have been opened up to aid the movement of the
door into and out of the guide rails. If you need to reduce the length of the
guide rails you must cut from the bottom of the guide rails.
i.
Position guides
ii.
Drill guide fixing holes (min 4) 7mm pilot hole 13mm outer
hole, avoid mortar joints and edges of bricks etc.

05. FIX GUIDE RAILS & AXLE ASSEMBLY
N.B.
Before positioning check that there are no sharp objects or
bumps sticking out from the pillars, lintel or header to twist the
guides or that will catch the door during operation.
If in doubt pack the guides and end plates out by at least 10mm.
i.
Slot end plate lugs into guides (see
Drawing A
) remembering
the guides are handed
ii.
Position guides and end plates against opening
iii.
Hold or prop securely the assembly in position
iv.
Drill fixing holes (min 4 in guides and 2 in each end plate)
v.
Fix guides/end plates with minimum No. 12 x 21⁄2”
countersunk screws (and plugs) to masonry/timber or 12 x 1”
self tapping screws to steel.
N.B.
Extreme care should be taken while manoeuvring the
door into place to avoid the possibility of snapping the end
plate lugs. It is imperative that fixings are put through the end
plates into the wall as the aluminium lugs are not designed to
carry the weight of the door.
