Door requirements
Sliding door friction
The MultiDrive should only be installed on a door that slides
smoothly. If the door system does not, it is recommended to have
the door system maintenance prior to the installation of the
MultiDrive System.
The sliding friction should be low enough that the door opens and
closes with a force
less than 35 pound-force plus
(155 newtons)
at a steady sliding speed of about
4
”/second
(100 mm/second)
.
Use a digital scale with a hook to measure the force to open and
close the door. If the force is greater than 35 pound-force, speak
with an authorized Autoslide Pty representative on how to proceed.
Space under the transom
The MultiDrive system sits directly below the head space of a
sliding door and requires a vertical space of 3.15
” (80 mm) – see
The MultiDrive may also be mounted in a flush mount, if the
situation arises.

clearance below the transom.
