Recommended Maintenance Plan and Barrel Installation Instructions

FREQUENCY: As needed; once or twice a year or in between tenant rentals. CLEANING TIPS: To clean the guide wear strip, gently wipe using a soft cloth with a silicone‐based restorative protectant solution. To clean the bottom bar astragal, gently wipe using a soft cloth with silicone‐based restorative protectant solution. To clean the curtain and latch assembly, use warm water and a mild detergent such as a dish washing liquid. MAINTENANCE TIPS: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE BARREL AND GREASE THE SPRINGS. No maintenance is required for the springs located inside of the barrel. Check the door operation operation to make sure that door is working working well. If during operation operation the door is hard to open or hot off the floor, the tension will need to be adjusted. Should spring adjustment be necessary, refer to detailed instructions posted on our website.

1: Assess the work space. Make sure there is sufficient room and lighting in
the unit in order to make the repair. You will need approximately 48" of
clearance to safely stage the barrel assembly and perform the take down.
Remove any objects in the unit that obstruct or infringe upon the work space.

2: Tools Recommended:
* Screw gun
* 3 "C" type vice clamps
* Optional winding bar

3: Inspect the damaged door unit. Identify whether the door has 1 or 2 springs and
whether there is tension still applied on any spring(s). Assume that if a spring is
not broken, it is still tensioned. Removing tension on a spring can cause serious
injury or harm. Refer to the door manufacturer's instructions for the recommended
procedures for removing tension before continuing further.

4: Identify the location where the brackets attach to the wall and whether there is 4any additional guide attachment. Make note of the configuration for step #7.

5: Bring the door into an approximate 3/4 closed position so that the top of
the curtain is rolled over the top of the axle assembly and is accessible.
Place a clamp on both the right and left guide right beneath the bottom
bar to hold the curtain into place.

6: Using the screw gun, remove
the teks screws attaching the
curtain to the axle assembly.

7: (A) Unfasten the bracket above the guides from the jamb of the wall. If there is no
attachment between the bracket and the guide, then skip down to part (D).
(B) If the bracket is attached to the guide with carriage bolts, remove them with
the screw gun and then skip down to part (D).
(C) If the bracket is attached to the guide with tab and slots, pull up to lift the
bracket tab away from the slot. In some instances, it may be necessary to depress a
loc tab before you are able to disengage the bracket tab away from the guide slot.
Once detached, proceed to part (D).
(D) Clamp the drum of the axle to the curtain assembly with the 3rd "C" clamp.
Repeat the same steps (A) thru (D) on the other bracket.

8: Once the defective axle and
bracket assembly have been
removed, lift the Roll Up Door barrel
assembly into place.

 

9: Line the hole on the brackets up with the holes left in the jamb.
Secure the Roll Up Door bracket to the wall using appropriate fasteners 9
supplied. Repeat this step on the other bracket.

10: Rotate the barrel assembly around until the
black line is facing forward in the middle of
the drum. Bring the top of the curtain down
and place it so that it lines up with the line
on the drum. Line the edge of the curtain
up with the edge of the barrel assembly and
secure with a vice clamp.

11: While secure, fasten the curtain to the barrel in 113-4 evenly spaced locations.

12: Once secured, remove vice grips from the curtain, 12 as well as the guides.

13: Apply tension spring to the Roll Up Door door
by the tension adjuster on the left end
of the barrel clockwise. Test door for
operation and repeat as necessary.
