Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your roller door. Here’s a step-by-step guide to roller door installation:

  1. Gather Tools and Materials: Collect all necessary tools, including a level, measuring tape, drill, screws, and the door kit.
  2. Measure and Prepare: Measure the opening to ensure you have the correct size door. Clear the area around the opening and make sure the floor is level.
  3. Attach Tracks: Install vertical and horizontal tracks on both sides of the door frame. Ensure they are plumb and level.
  4. Install Rollers and Panels: Attach the rollers to the door panels and then insert the rollers into the tracks. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
  5. Install Springs and Cables: Depending on the type of roller door, install the torsion springs or extension springs. Attach lifting cables and adjust tension properly.
  6. Mount Opener: If using a garage door opener, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install and program it. Test the opener’s functionality.
  7. Test and Adjust: Open and close the door several times to ensure smooth operation. Make any necessary adjustments to the tracks, springs, or opener settings.
