03. PREPARE THE OPENING
04. PREPARE THE GUIDE RAILS
Check:
i. Structure is sound/even & can carry the weight of the door
(curtain weight is approximately 5kg/m2 and allow an extra
15kg for the guides, end plates and axle assembly)
ii. No obstacles in fitting footprint e.g. 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)
High winds and high temperatures can cause increased
deflection of the door. It is the installer’s responsibility to
ensure that the door is packed off the wall sufficiently to allow
for door movement during these extreme weather conditions.
Please note: The validity of the LPCB certification is contingent
upon the roller garage door being installed in accordance with the
requirements of LPS 1175 (see Section 2 for further details).
If the guides require cutting down refer to the information at
the start of Section 1 and also Section 9 for reducing the curtain
height. If face fixing where possible set the guide height at least
55mm above the structural opening height to maximise drive
through height.
i. Position guides
ii. Drill guide fixing holes, 7mm pilot hole, 13mm outer hole
(min 4), avoid mortar joints and edges of bricks etc.
Unless you have opted for pre-drilled guides –
Pre-drilling is compliant to the LPCB certificate.
LPS 1175 compliant doors
Doors which are compliant with LPS 1175 will be supplied
with a bottom slat anchor system prefitted to the bottom slat
and guide rails.
Once the guide rails have been fastened in place the bottom slat
anchor guide insert must be fastened to the floor as shown below.
