Step 3 Positioning the door

The correct positioning of the roller door is the key to smooth running of your door once it is installed. Take a little time to ensure you are familiar with the instructions before you start to carry them out so the positioning and securing the axle to the mounted brackets are all correct.

Step 4 Safety instructions

Read these carefully to prevent injury both during installation and whilst the garage door is subsequently in use. Unroll the door carefully and make particular note of any special instructions relating to insulated roller doors if you have chosen this option.

Step 5 Fixing the side tracks

Step 6   Final adjustments
