    • Q. Are the end blocks sat in a final position that is lower than the floor level?
      A. Raise the blocks and build up with packing.

    • Q. Is there a high point or bump in the floor?
      A. Floor needs to be levelled.

  2. Once you are happy that the door has been installed within its operating parameters then we can fit the bottom magnet.

Now move the door up out of the way and use the temporary sticky pad to locate the magnet, now permanently and mechanically fix the magnet with screws provided in place. The magnet arrows should now be aligned and no more than 10mm apart.
