Mounting on a Non-Track Type Door

WARNING: Make sure concrete, brick wall 
or timber lintels are solid and sound so as to 
form a secure mounting platform. 

Step 8 - Determine the Door’s Centre

a.  Find the centre of the door and mark this location both 

above the door and on top of the door. 

b.  Draw two lines 21.5mm either side of this 

(Fig. 14).

Step 9 - Prepositioning the Opener

a.  Raise the door to open position.
b.  Rest the opener on the top edge of the door with end 

of the C-Rail against the wall 

(Fig. 15)

.

c.  Support the powerhead level with the lowest point of 

the open door 

(Fig. 15)

.

NOTE:

Do not slide C-Rail along the face of the door.

Step 10 - Mounting the C-Rail

a.  Close the door slowly. The C-Rail will be elevated by 

the top edge of the door as it moves.  

b.  Stop the door when it is at its highest point of travel.  

Allow 25mm additional height for clearance between 
the door and the track

 (Fig. 16)

.

c.  Support the C-Rail in this position and close the door
d.  The height determined in Step 11(b) will be the height 

at which to mount the wall bracket.

e.  Centre the bracket along the line determined in Step 9.
f.  Using the bracket as a template, mark a minimum 

of two holes and drill with appropriate size bit.  For a 
more secure 

fi

 tting, the wall bracket can be anchored 

using more than two holes.

g.  Secure the bracket to the wall using:

IF CONCRETE OR BRICK - 8mm or 5/6 loxins or  
 

    dynabolts. 

IF TIMBER - wood screw #20 or equivalent    
 

            (minimum 50mm long).

h.  Attach the wall bracket to the C-Rail with the 90mm 

long clevis pin 

(Fig. 17)

 and secure by a snap pin.

Step 11 - Securing the Powerhead to the Ceiling

a.  Secure the perforated angle (not supplied) to the 

ceiling above where powerhead’s mounting holes will 
be.  See 

(Fig.13)

 for a representative mounting.

b.  Connect the powerhead to the ceiling mounted 

perforated angle with M8x20mm screws and nuts. 
Strips should not extend more than 18mm below 
centre of powerhead mounting holes 

(Fig. 13)

.

WARNING: The opener must be securely 
fastened to structural supports, otherwise 
opener failure may ensue causing serious 
personal injury and/or property damage.
