Section 1 – Safety Check List Rolling doors are large, movable objects. They move with the help of electric motors or manual operators (chain, crank, push up, etc), and most have springs under high tension. These items and their components can cause injury.
Section 2 – Freight Receiving Upon delivery, check condition of components for damage. If damage occurred in transit, the installation should not proceed without authorization. If the installation proceeds, neither the carrier nor the manufacturer will assume responsibility for replacing the damaged material.
Section 3 – Pre-installation Read entire instruction manual thoroughly. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any charges incurred due to improperly installed components. a. Only trained door systems technicians should perform installation, maintenance, etc. b. Each unit comes with an individual item number. If the job contains multiple units, be sure to locate all the components for each item and separate each.

Section 5 – Guides 6. Locate the Saddles (brackets used to constrain the tube at the bottom). There are two types of saddles: standard saddles and inverted saddles. Both utilize the same steps for installation. The difference is the mounting flange. Fire doors come with inverted saddles for mounting at the bottom of the tube.
Page 14
Section 5 – Guides c. Calculate the Tube Length: Tube Length = “Floor to Slip Joint Mounting Member” – “Expansion Allowance” d. Cut the tubes to the calculated “Tube Length”. Make sure you cut the excess tubing from the top. Otherwise you will cut off necessary mounting holes and/or notches. Note: If regular saddles are provided, the tube length will have to be adjusted because the tube will not sit on the saddle flanges instead of the floor.
