Door Panel Adjustments
During normal operation, the tension pipes should run in close proximity of each other. The clearance between the
tension pipes should normally be between 1/4
to 1/2
(6.35 mm - 12.7 mm). See Detail 3 below. There are two
situations pertaining to the tension pipes that may cause problems with door operation. If the tension pipes are too far
apart, the tension pipes will not repel each other. This causes poor contact between the hook & loop or magnets. On
the other hand, if the tension pipes are riding one another (i.e. touching one another), the door panel material does not
flow evenly, thus leaving wrinkles in the panel instead of a stretched, smooth & even appearance.
Adjustment Procedures
The clearance between the tension pipes can be adjusted by raising or lowering the door panels. Each door has three
panels: (1) the inside panel (panel facing the inside of building) is attached to the back plate. (2) The center panel is
attached to the roller. (3) The outside panel (facing the outside of building) is attached to the front bar. Adjustments are
made to the inside panel and/or the outside panel.
NOTE: The door must be in the closed position for panel adjustments. Ensure the panels
are not damaged while removing or reinstalling the nuts and screws.
To adjust the height of the outside tension pipe, raise or lower the outside door panel by detaching the panel hook &
loop from the front bar, and raising or lowering the panel. Then re-attach the panel loop to the hook on the front bar.
Be sure to keep the tension pipe level during this procedure.
To adjust the height of the inside tension pipe, raise or lower the inside door panel by detaching the panel hook & loop
from the back plate, and raising or lowering panel. Then re-attach the panel loop to the hook on back plate. Be sure to
keep tension pipe level during this procedure. Install Tek screws through the panel material and into the back plate to
securely hold the material in place.
