TYPICAL INSTALLATION
Figure 2 shows the location of the major
components of your Spiral HZ door. This
illustration should be used as reference only and
should not be used as part of the installation
instructions.
Figure 2
NOTE: The above illustration shows the
front side of the door. Left and right
are determined when viewing the
front side of the door.
MINIMUM CONRETE REQUIREMENT
Minimum 4000 PSI concrete required for
installation. (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3
ANCHORING METHODS
The Rytec Spiral HZ has been designed in
accordance with the Florida building code 2010.
Required design wind loads determined as per
section 1620 of the FBC (Florida Building Code)
and in accordance with ASCE 7- 10 standards.
The Spiral HZ door’s adequacy for impact and
fatigue resistance has been verified in
accordance with section 1626 of the FBC per
protocols TAS-201, TAS-202, & TAS-203
standards.
Maximum design pressures are +50.0, -50.0
PSF.
To maintain the hurricane rating the door MUST
be installed on a concrete wall minimum 4000
PSI.
The anchor hardware has been provided by
Rytec to meet the specifications of the hurricane
rating. Failure to use the provided hardware and
install in the specific method will void the
warranty.
The anchors are ½” x 4 ½” and must have a
minimum embedment of 2 ¼” into the concrete.
All anchor hole locations must be filled. There
are 3 anchor locations in the base of the side
columns.
Starting 3 inches from the floor and every 7 ½” in
the side columns, located 4.53 inches from the
inside edge of the side column. (See Figure 4.)
Right hand side column shown.

DETAILS - TOP OF SIDE COLUMN
The top of the side column has a number of anchor
holes. The anchor holes are located very near each
other. One inside and one outside hole must be used in
each location at the top of the side column. A minimum
of 2 anchors at each location will be used. (See Figure
5.)
Figure 5
BASE PLATE - ANCHOR LOCATIONS
Each side column base plate has 3 anchor hole locations and
all 3 MUST be used. (See Figure 6.)

are critical for the
proper installation and operation of your
Rytec door. Verify all measurements.
1. Measurethe width of the dooropening.Thendivide
the measurement in half to locate the centerline.
Mark the centerline along the floor. (See Figure 8.)
4. Check that the floor is level across the door open-
ing. The floor must be level within 0.12 in. (3 mm)
from sidetoside.If onesideoftheopeningishigher
than the other, a shim under the side columnwill be
required.
Figure 10 and Figure 11 show two recommended
methods that can be used to ensure a level side

INSTALLATION—SIDE COLUMNS
5. Use a plumb bob or carpenter’s level to check the
wall for plumb in the areas where the side columns
are to be mounted. Also, inspect the wall for any
obstructions.
If the wall is not plumb, use shims. If you find an
obstruction, remove it, or shim the column to avoid
the obstruction. (See Figure 12.)

with the door layout line. Figure 13
3. Position the column so that it is plumb to the wall
and square with the floor.
A plumb bob or carpenter’s levelare recommended
for setting the column plumb and square. The use
of bar clamps to temporarily secure the column to
the wall during installation is also recommended.
When required, shim behind the side column if the
wall is out of plumb.To hold the shims in place until
the column is secured, attach them to the wall or
column with double-sided tape. (See Figure 14.)
USING A PLUMB BOB:
To check for plumb, measure a few inches away
from the face of the side column, near the top
(Dimension A) and drop the plumb bob.
(See Figure 13.)
INSTALLATION—SIDE COLUMNS

Mark the floor where the plumb bob touches. Com-
pare the upper measurement to the lower mea-
surement. Shim the column toward or away from
the wall, as required, until the two measurements
are equal and the column is plumb to the wall.
Also, measure a few inches away from the side of
the column near the top (Dimension B) and drop
the plum bob. (See Figure 13.) Mark the floor
where the plumb bob touches. Compare the upper
measurement to the lower measurement.Lean the
column to the left or the right until the two mea-
surements are equal and the column is plumb with
the floor (or shim plate).
USING A CARPENTER’S LEVEL:
Hold the level firmly against the face and side of
the column. Make the necessary adjustments to

Unclamp and set the column aside. Drill holes into the
floor and through the wall for all anchors.
Before drilling any holes, ensure there are
no electrical wires, water pipes, or gas
lines, etc., buried in the floor or hidden in
the wall.

INSTALLATION—SPREADER BAR
8. Anchor the side column to the wall using the appro-
priate anchoring method (see “ANCHORING
METHODS” on page 3) and all drilled anchor
points.Do not tightenthe anchorsat this time.They
should just be snug.
9. Mount the remaining side column to the floor and
wallinthesame
manner
as
outlined
fortheprevious
side column.
NOTE: To ensure the side columns are positioned
identically, take measurements for each
column from similar points of reference.
10. With both columns set and snugly bolted in place,
check the overall squareness of each column.
(See Figure 17.)
Compare the diagonal measurements and the
upper and lower horizontal measurements across
the columns. The columns are square and parallel
when the diagonal measurements are equal and
the horizontal measurements are equal.
If either column requires a slight repositioning
(when the difference of either comparison is
greater than
¹/₄
in.), use a block of wood and a mal-
SPREADER BAR
To make it possible to install the spreader bar, and the
head assembly later on, the door track running along
the inside edge of each side column must first be
released and slid out of the way.
1. Each section of door track is attached to the side
columnbya seriesof
aluminum
clipsthatarebolted
to the back of the column. Loosen the hex nut that
locks each clip in place.
2. Once each clip is loose, slide the door track to the
bottom of the side column.
3. With the flat side of the spreader bar facing away
from the wall,attachthe ends of thespreaderto the
side columns. Use two M6 x 820 T-30 Torx head
screws at each end. The screws are located in the
small parts carton. (See Figure 18.)

the center of the spreader.
NOTE: When securing the spreader to the wall, it
will be necessary for you to mark the
location of the wall anchors using the
holes in the spreader as reference. After
drilling the required holes and installing
the anchors, permanently secure the
spreader bar to the wall.
11. Double-check all measurements. Then firmly
tighten all floor and wall anchors.
Also, if shims or spacers were installed
behind the side columns, it will be neces-
sary for you to shim behind the spreader
as well.
