Section gate are problematic to be collected and made. Now it will become much simpler to beginners to make it after reading of the step-by-step instruction about mounting and installation of similar gate.
Each motorist thinks of garage for safety of own vehicle sooner or later. The main problem is that the new garage needs to be equipped with reliable gate which assume additional monetary expenses. If you are interested in economy of money and protection of the machine against external environmental activities, vandals and other troubles, then we recommend to lay the hand to creation of strong gate. At the moment oar gate with the following mechanisms are put into practice:
- rolletny;
- integral;
Now it will be a question of the last option. This choice is caused by the fact that section gate enjoy wide popularity at ordinary owners of motor transport. They perfectly look in garage and surely will help to save a lot of free space. The detailed instruction thanks to which everything can be made independently is offered to your attention. The most important - do not deviate from the designated technology and step by step perform the main operations.
Advantages of section gate
This type of gate is still popular among ordinary motorists and it is not accident. It can be explained with numerous advantages which have been collected in the separate list placed below:
- this system differs in the simple, but checked design;
- optimum sealing of aperture, high thermal insulation is supported;
- trouble-free opening of gate is possible even at limited space;
- management of gate by means of the remote control is allowed;
- at operation correctly established gate are completely safe;
- there are heat-insulating properties promoting preservation of optimum microclimate indoors of garage;
- at power outage the manual control mode meaning use of key is automatically activated;
- the cloth consists of several sections reinforced by high-quality metal which provide the increased protective functions;
- the guaranteed protection of the individual transport against unauthorized access by the third parties, external environmental activity is provided;
- section gate are subdivided into 2 main types: panoramic and industrial; these options differ in reliable design and large-scale of safety at repeated use.
Key construction features
- When choosing section gate the optimum thermal insulation of all garage is guaranteed - it is reached due to smooth raising of doors to ceiling.
- The section option differs the maneuverability of cloth increased by degree, resistance to various breakings, maintaining thermal properties.
- The cloth includes the sandwiches panels connected by loops, the torsion mechanism consisting of ropes, shafts, drums. Also there is spring mechanism thanks to which equilibration of cloth is made, its fastening in certain situation is carried out at the expense of the guides placed along frame, ceiling. Rollers from polyamide on each side of panels are necessary for reduction of resistance.
- The counterbalancing springs are required for reduction in load which is created when functioning gate. Ratchet couplings are necessary to protect ropes about undesirable break. The sliding crossbar, the tsilindrovanny mechanism is often observed.
- If installation of additional sensors is required, then their mounting is recommended to be carried out on doorway perimeter - sensors are capable to react in due time to any movement then, functioning of gate instantly stops.
- The section system works from electricity, but if it is absent, then the owner can use special key which will help to unblock the mechanism. Due to the lack of electricity the drive is automatically switched-off, in this regard, the system passes to hand operation. Similar garage gate have to be supplied with the manual lock in case of emergency situation.
- All system is completely automatic thanks to what the convenience at daily operation is reached. If it is necessary to drive in garage, then the driver should not go out of transport because automatic closing of gate is carried out by means of the special mechanism of transmission.
Thorough preparation for professional mounting
If independent production and installation of gate interests, then we hurry to tell that many producers are engaged in release of special sets which can use at assembly. Thus, skilled people can save money and not ask for the additional help experts. Section mechanisms differ from analogs in the universality - they can be established in any garage.
Further actions for mounting are recommended to be carried out on the basis of the detailed instruction realized together with set. When choosing basic set we advise to focus attention on certain capacity of engine which is required for installation in the drive mechanism.
In order that it is correct to collect section gate to you the free space, namely 300, 500 mm before ceiling overlapping and on the parties of door opening, respectively is required. High-quality assembly requires not only set of ready parts of the acquired set, but still additional tools for the master:
- perforator;
- level, tape measure;
- screw driver;
- the drills having pobeditovy nozzle.
Step-by-step scheme of assembly of design
Even the beginner will be able to collect numerous parts in whole if knows initial technology. In advance we warn that if production of design of garage was made with use of foam-concrete blocks, then the metal framework for its strengthening surely is required. The scheme of work includes several stages:
- preparation of door opening for the upcoming assembly events;
- to make marking and to designate specific places in which the cloths directing for free movement will be attached;
- after successful mounting of supporters according to the instruction, it is necessary to be engaged in door cloth which process of assembly begins with extreme lamel from below;
- regulation of the top brackets is possible at unsatisfactory adherence of the top cut of shutter to ""splat"" of gate;
- to fix knots on management of gate and other important elements in the form of handles, locks;
- installation of equilibratings of springs - the correct control means the tense lifting cables, they have to be in such state constantly;
- to fix the special sensor to limit the movement of the established cloth;
- after performance of all above actions we advise repeatedly to check in practice faultless operability of section system before further operation in everyday life.
Autographic production of strong gate
If there are no money or desire to get set of parts for construction of section design, then now there is opportunity to create it own hands. This option is oriented to those people who already have skills, experience in this activity and will manage to carry out task without effort. Work on construction of section gate is very laborious and includes the following stages:
- production of welded frame which is required for fixing of cloth;
- production, subsequent installation of vertical, horizontal guides;
- installation of rollers from polyamide - for this purpose it is necessary to weld frame on brackets;
- the correct arrangement of guides at strict keeping of insignificant corner;
- mounting of the mechanism of counterbalance.
Useful tips for faultless repair work
- Before carrying out installation works it makes sense to make sure of full compatibility of all involved spare parts with each other.
- During the work use exclusively original drawings to increase reliability of future design.
- It is not necessary to apply second-hand parts for the purpose of economy of money.
- If the personal budget allows, then it will be reasonable to fork up on purchase of additional systems which will not allow rope to break, to torsinny spring to become torn during active operation.
- When mounting gate it is recommended to achieve the put result without uniform gap, observing the raised density degree.
- Accurately establish vertical guide subsequently to avoid cycling of cloth.
- In advance determine the exact sizes of future section gate that they have perfectly fitted into your garage.
- Use thick metal linings for regulation and fixation of the mechanism.
- If you consider that you will not cope with similar work on assembly or production, then surely use services of qualified specialists with experience.
Assembly of section gate and their full production from ""zero"" hides set of ""reefs"" which appear on surface only after the beginning performer directly gets down to business. Purchase of expensive systems, auto parts, drawings - it is good, but has only a half put. It is necessary to foreknow how to carry out installation works, observing high level of quality at each stage. Do not forget about own safety when repairs and mounting of design are made. Work according to original drawings and achieve the conceived result by own efforts.
