Installation steps
Measurement and positioning: According to the control lines of each section and the building elevation line, as well as the ceiling elevation and the wall and column finishing line that have been marked, the center line of the fire shutter door position rail and the position of the roller and the elevation line are determined, and marked on the floor, wall and column surface
.
Install the guide rail: locate, mark, and drill holes at the opening, and then fix the guide rail. The installation method of the two guide rails is the same, but be careful to ensure that they are on the same horizontal line.

Install the left and right brackets: check the size of the door opening and use it as a basis to determine the specific installation position of the bracket. Then, drill holes separately and fix the left and right brackets. Finally, use a level to adjust the level of the two brackets to ensure that they are absolutely horizontal.

Install the door body on the bracket: determine the length of the central axis according to the position of the door opening, then lift the door body onto the bracket and fix it with screws. Then, check whether the connection between the door body and the guide rail and bracket is good. If there is no problem, tighten the screws. If there is a problem, debug it until the problem is solved.

Spring debugging: twist the spring in a clockwise direction. If it can be twisted for one circle, the dark rotation of the spring is just right. After the spring is debugged, you can uncover the door body packaging and introduce it into the guide rail.

Rolling door switch debugging: After the rolling door is installed, you can open and close the rolling door several times to check whether it is operating normally and whether the screws are tightened. If you find any problems at this time, you can solve them in time to prevent safety accidents in future use.

Install the limit block: The limit block is generally installed on the bottom rail of the door body, and try to install it on the cut edge of the bottom rail.

Install the door lock: First, determine the installation position of the door lock, close the door body, insert the key, and twist the key so that the lock tube contacts the inner side of the door body track. Then make a mark and open the door body. Then, drill a hole at the marked position, install the door lock, and the entire rolling door is installed.

Installing an aluminum rolling door requires certain professional knowledge and skills. If you are not sure whether you can complete the installation, it is recommended to contact a professional installation team for installation.
