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 6 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.
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.

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)
3. PREPARE THE OPENING:
5. FIT END PLATES, AXLE ASSEMBLY, GUIDES (& OPTIONAL FASCIA):
N.B. When fitting doors with 300mm end plates and the guide
height is more than 2300mm it is important that you check that
the lintel does not bow inwards or have any projections that may
catch on the curtain. If in doubt pack the guides and end plates out
by at least 10mm.
i) slot end plates into guides (and fix optional fascia if supplied) -
see drawing A
If using 90mm guides make sure the back face of the end
plate is in line with the back of the guide.
3 rivets should be used to fasten the fascia to each end plate.
Doors compliant with LPS1175 will be supplied with penny
washers which the rivets must be fastened through.
ii) position guides, end plates (and optional fascia) against/in
opening
iii) hold or prop securely in position
iv) drill fixing holes (minimum of 4 in guides and 2 in each end
plate if not LPS 1175 compliant)
v) fix guides/end plates with minimum No. 12 x 21»´

spread fixing load on fascia. If there is nothing to fix to, 50 x
20 box section should be ordered to reinforce the fascia and
prevent deflection which may damage the curtain. Drill and
pop rivet from inside the fascia ensuring that the rivet leaves a
smooth surface.
vi) ease open top of guides – see drawing C
Before proceeding any further check:
a) back faces of guides and end plates are flush and untwisted – see drawing B
b) that the distance between the outside edges of the guides is 90mm more than the curtain
width
c) ensure that the distance between the outer edges of the end plates is
equal to the stated overall width of the door.

vii) The dummy end octagonal fixing plate is supplied in the
accessory box. The plate must be fitted to the appropriate end
plate (not the motor side) before installation of the axle.
Offer up the axle assembly to the end plates inserting the
octagonal plate attached to the motor into the end plate
mounting bracket and the dummy end/spring shaft into the U
cup on the dummy end octagonal fixing plate. Secure the shaft
using the 60mm split pin provided. Make sure the motor and
override hole are correctly orientated and the limit switches
are accessible from below - see motor drawings 1 to 3 -
Section 6.
viii) secure axle by inserting the No. 8 x 3»SDQKHDGVFUHZV
supplied into the holes in the mounting brackets (give the axle
a tug to make sure it is securely retained) – see bubble detail
drawing A
Lock dummy end shaft securely in place, hard up against the
dummy end, with clip provided so as to prevent the axle from
moving from its correct position.
Check:
a) guides are vertical / parallel / same height and axle is
level – see drawing D
b) collars are the correct way around – see drawing F
N.B. In the event that the screw does not hold, drill a new pilot
hole through the mounting bracket and octagonal fixing plate and
try again.
For safety reasons it is essential that the fixing plate is secured
with three fixings.
ix) secure motor POWER LEAD with CABLE TIES so that it is tight
against THE end plate – see drawing E
Alternatively you may drill a hole in the end plate to pass the
cable through in order to keep it clear of the locking bolt.
N.B. This may not be possible with tight reveal fixes.
You must ensure that you allow for a drip loop in the motor cable
to prevent water from running down the cable and into the motor.
Spare cable ties can be attached to the motor cable to act as drip
loop to prevent water entering the motor.
If an anti-fall back spring has been supplied fitted in the axle you
must now tension the spring as follows:
1) Connect the motor to either a test lead or the remote control.
2) Remove and retain the limit cover cap from the motor. Fully
press in the limit switches on the motor. Using either the test
lead or remote control rotate the axle in the close direction
(see drawing G and label on axle).
3) The number of turns required will be clearly stated on a label.
4) When complete the axle will be fully tensioned and will be
ready for installation and attachment of the curtain in the fully
closed position.
5) Replace the limit cover cap.

B) Optional external low level override
Detailed installation instructions are supplied in the low level over-
ride kit.
The external low level override is not compliant with LPS 1175, a
battery backup must be ordered when required.
7. CURTAIN ADJUSTMENT (REDUCING HEIGHT/MAKING REPAIRS)
The curtain needs to be the correct height for the door to lock
properly (if too tall remove slat(s) - If too short notify supplier).
The optimum curtain height finishes midway up the end plate to
ensure the locking mechanism engages.
Check you have the correct number of slats in the curtain for the
guide height (particularly if you have shortened the guide height)
and adjust the curtain accordingly.
The number of slats shown is the number of foam filled slats
only. The curtain height shown includes the bottom slat and the
extruded top slat.
Curtain height =
Curtain slats
+ Extruded top slat
+ Bottom slat
i) Roll out the curtain on a flat and protected surface, such as
bubble wrap and/or cardboard packaging in which the curtain
was delivered.
ii) Unscrew webbing from every slat which needs to be removed
or replaced, gently lifting the webbing away from the surface
of the slat.
iii) Slide out damaged slats and replace with new slats. Press
down webbing and screw to the new slat.
iv) If the number of slats has been reduced, trim the webbing
accordingly and carefully melt the cut ends to prevent fraying.

8. INSTALL THE CURTAIN IN THE GUIDES, ATTACH TO AXLE & FIT STOPS
i) Check that there are at least 3 pairs of collars on the axle and
that they are facing the correct direction – see drawing D.
The outside collars must be right at the ends of the axle and
the third pair in the middle.
If 4 or more pairs are fitted then two of the additional pairs
need to be fitted approx. 700mm in from the outside pair.
(N.B. the outside collars are held in place by the motor collar
at one end and the dummy end at the other. Intermediate
pairs will have one collar pre-positioned at the factory with a
securing rivet already in place).
Before loading the curtain into the guide rails ensure that the
locking blocks are located at the top of the end plate.
Remove attachment arms, wrap bubble wrap around the
axle to protect the curtain and continue with remaining
instructions.
ii) Lift coiled curtain up level with axle and feed bottom of curtain
into guide
iii) Slowly unroll curtain and gently lower onto a tool box or block
N.B. Do not allow the curtain to free fall over the axle as this will
result in damage to the curtain
iv) slide the locking/attachment arms on to the top slat
For the above see drawing A
v) position unattached end of locking/attachment arm so that the
fixing bolt line up with locating holes in the two collars (rotate
axle with override if necessary) and slide collars together
making sure pre-positioned collar is tight against rivet – see
drawings B & C
vi) fix ‘loose’ collars in position by placing a 4.8mm x 9.3mm
x 12mm pop rivets tight up against the outside edge of the
collar in the rounded cut-out in the axle. There is no need to
drill a hole – see drawing D
N.B. Make sure rivets are secure
vii) use override to raise door sufficiently to remove toolbox/block.
Leave door in partially open position
viii) secure stops to captive nuts in bottom slat with bolts provided
– see drawing E
N.B. It is essential to fit stops for health and safety reasons

9. CURTAIN LOCKING & SETTING MOTOR LIMIT SWITCHES
Before you operate the door electrically you may want to
operate the door slowly using the manual override provided
to ensure that the door will not catch on any protrusions as
it travels up and down.
Your garage door is manufactured with the curtain height to suit
the length of guide supplied. The door will not lock down properly
if the curtain is either too tall or too short. (If too tall remove
slat(s) – if too short notify supplier). For best results the top of
the curtain should be as near as possible in line with the centre of
the axle.
Both limits require setting along with a final adjustment of the
locking mechanism.
We recommend the use of the manual override to set the limits
and to make final adjustments as you will have far greater control
of the door as it travels up and down. To set the limits remove the
cap covering the white/yellow limit switches, fully press in both
switches (they will lock into position) and then proceed as follows.
N.B. Incorrect setting of the limits
risks damage to the motor and
curtain.
Closed / down limit setting and locking section
adjustment:
The locking block position must be checked before proceeding –
i) wind door down with override handle until the curtain is
touching the floor but stop just before the top of the curtain
closes against the ‘shut’ face.
ii) Lower the locking blocks so that they are positioned
approximately 2mm above the blocks fitted to the curtain
when the curtain is in the fully closed position. Ensure that
both screws in each block are tightened so that the block will
not be lifted.
iii) Continue to wind door down until the curtain is tight against
‘shut face’ but not over tight (the extrusions will deform if you
force the top slat too hard into the lintel)
iv) set the motor closed/down limit by releasing limit switch.
Open/Top Limit Setting:
i) Wind the door with the hand crank to open / up position and
stop (50mm of curtain should still
be in guide. Stops should be min.
10mm below guide rollers)
ii) press and release the open/up limit
switch
N.B. Always replace the yellow limit
switch cover cap once limits are set.

INTERNAL FITTING
Fit optional 45 degree lid. A slot may have to be cut into the lid to
pass over the override eye.
FINAL CHECKS
i) remove any protective plastic coverings
ii) wipe curtain & guides with damp cloth
iii) touch-up any small scratches
iv) check all electrical & operating equipment is installed and
functioning correctly (especially the safety edge) and complete
CE marking label and paperwork
v) check direction handle needs winding to open door and fit
appropriate label supplied to crank handle.
vi) If the door is fitted externally apply a bead of silicone around
the box edge to prevent water ingress.
N.B. Check the front of the curtain to make sure that it is not
rubbing on the fascia etc.
The manual override will not function after the door is operated,
by remote control, until the power to the motor has ‘timed out’.
This will take a few moments to occur.
If you wish to demonstrate the manual override immediately after
opening the door press either the stop button on the handset or
simulate a power cut by switching off the power to the Control
unit.
If a low level external override is fitted or the door is fitted
externally remind customers to keep the override handle in a
convenient place (not in the garage if no other way in!)
Upon completion it is your responsibility to train
the customer how to operate the door correctly
and safely and provide them with the operating
and maintenance instructions supplied.
10. COMMISSIONING
11. MAINTENANCE, REPAIRING AND DISMANTLING INSTRUCTIONS
Always isolate the mains power before attempting any
maintenance, repairs or dismantling.
MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
i) Curtain free running and clean
ii) No debris in the guide rails
iii) Guide rails and end plates are securely fastened to the wall
(check also the fascia if fitted)
iv) All axle collars are in the correct original position
v) Split pin in octagonal dummy end fixing plate is in correct
position and is not damaged or worn
vi) Check the action of the locking mechanism to ensure it is

RECOMMENDED SERVICE PERIOD
The recommended service period for a garage door, which will
operate on average two cycles per day, is once every 12 months.
If the garage door will perform a greater number of cycles per day
the service period should be shortened accordingly. One cycle is a
full open and close sequence.
