FIXING THE DOOR GUIDES & HEAD PLATES
Slide the peg on the head plate into the box
channel of the guide. Note: The lugs in the
channel help to ensure the head plate rests neatly
against the head and in the correct position - see
guide orientation section on page 9. Lift into
position against the opening.
Hold guides in place using quick clamps.
Check the level of the guides, both vertically
and horizontally. If the floor is not level it will be
necessary to pack the bottom of the guide on the
low side to ensure guides are horizontally level.
IMPORTANT: It is important that your floor is
level to achieve an effective seal and ensure
proper operation of safety edge over time. The
door cannot be fitted off level to compensate for
uneven floors.

Once guides are positioned correctly secure to the wall
with fasteners using a central fixing hole. Check levels
again and when guides are level both vertically and
horizontally, secure to wall using appropriate fixings in the
remaining fixing holes.
Note: Do not over tighten to compensate for irregularities
in the wall – instead pack wall where necessary.
Secure the head plate to the wall using appropriate fixings
through the pre-drilled fixing holes. Additional fixings may
be required depending on the structural integrity!
MONKEY FUR PLACEMENT
The 90º box is being fitted it will be necessary to secure
to the head to prevent any marking of the door curtain
while in operation. Ensure any fixing used is countersunk
and that screw heads do not protrude to avoid damage
to door curtain. You have the option to fit the supplied
monkey fur at this point to cover the screw heads. Please
Note: The primary function of the monkey fur is to protect
the door curtain from the screw heads. It may also aid
draught proofing but this is not its primary function. The
monkey fur may lead to curtain marking over time, this is
not considered warranty.
