Entanglement
- Keep hands and loose clothing clear of moving door and guides at all times.
TWO PERSON LIFT:
- When a mechanical aid is not used this product requires a two person lift to raise onto the brackets. Use proper techniques and equipment to lift the door from the trailer and up onto brackets.
1.2 substrate fastener recommendations
WARNING! Coach bolts/ screws are NOT suitable for windrated doors. Refer
to High Wind drawings on the B&D Website.
WARNING! The installer must select and use fasteners appropriate to the
material into which they are being fixed.
important notes
a) For installation to materials not covered in the chart, the installer
should seek expert advice from a qualified builder.
b) Minimum length of fastener does not exclude use of longer lengths. Decision
must be made by fitter to ensure adequate strength.
c) Recommendations for old materials or materials not in good condition are
not included. If in doubt about the strength of the material seek specialist
advice.
d) Fasteners for brackets in masonry should be at least 8mm x 75mm long or
metric equivalent.
e) Use the washers supplied in the parts bag to all fixings.

WARNING!
Masonry blockwork should be properly filled and reinforced if brackets are to
be mounted directly to blockwork with masonry anchors. Where the blockwork is
not solidly filled but structurally sound, long bolts should be passed through
the blockwork using suitable steel plates under bolt heads.Special
consideration should be given to brick type and construction of wall, to
ensure satisfactory fixing e.g. welding detail if fixed to steel.
1.3 preparation
WARNING! If you need to remove an old door prior to installing a B&D door
ensure to:
- Roll the door up and place a secure tie around the middle
- Place door support on flat ground
- Fit door support snugly under door before loosening the brackets or locating U bolts.
- Slowly undo bolts to release the spring tension and the door from the brackets.
- Slowly lift the door from the brackets keeping it balanced as it is lowered to the ground.
1.4 before installation
1.4.1 requirements
mounting – The door is designed to be mounted behind the opening.
obstructions – Ensure that the surface where the door will be fitted is flush
and smooth, and the area behind the opening is free from any protrusions.
structural suitability – Ensure the opening is strong enough to support the
door. If unsure, consult a builder. level and plumb – The door must be
installed in an absolutely level position, if opening is not level and square,
appearance and/ or sideroom requirements will be affected. The floor should be
level or recessed across the opening to avoid gaps.
1.4.2 measurements
opening width – As the standard door overlaps each side by 50mm or more, the
door should be 100mm wider than the opening. A wider door can be fitted as
long as additional sideroom and fixing is available. (Fig 1.4.1a) Wind-Locked
doors require additional overlap dependent on the substrate, consult the B&D
High Wind Certification Drawings for more detail.
opening height – The door opening height (or drive through clearance)
indicates the distance between the ground and rubber seal at the bottom of the
door, with door fully open. Max drive through heights for each door height are
listed in Fig 1.4.1b.
headroom – A minimum headroom is required for all doors. Refer to Fig 1.4.2 –
1.4.5 for measurements. If the door is installed lower into the opening than
shown in Fig 1.4.2, additional loss of door opening height will result.
backroom – A minimum of 460mm of backroom is required for R2L doors up to
2400mm. For other doors, refer to Fig 1.4.2 – 1.4.5 for measurements. DO NOT
CUT THE PACKAGING THAT HOLDS THE DOOR IN A ROLL
At a later stage during the installation you will be told just when to cut the
packaging. Remove brackets, guides and bag of small parts from each end of the
door roll.0 F i g: 1.4.1b

Fig: 2.1.1
a) Use above diagrams F i g 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 for head and sideroom clearances.
b) Mark three hole positions using slots of the bracket B.
c) Drill holes, then attach bracket using six 10mm (3/8”) bolt size masonry
anchors; (dynabolts or similar).
2.2 install second bracket
a) Using a water level mark the position for the second bracket (Fig 2.2.1)
b) Re-check levels then drill and fix as with first bracket.
CAUTION: The brackets must be perfectly level for the door to operate.
Take note of drive through clearance heights in fig 1.4.2b as the bottom rail
will hang into the opening on some doors, therefore reducing the opening.
WARNING! The structure substrate MUST conform to the high wind
requirements. Refer to bac.nt.gov.au for the DTCM
Manual or High Wind drawings on the B&D Website. 2.3 place door on brackets
** TWO PERSON LIFT: this product requires a two person lift to raise onto
the brackets. Use proper techniques and equipment to lift the door from the
trailer and up onto brackets.
CAUTION: DO NOT CUT THE PLASTIC WRAP OR PACKAGING YET a) Check the axle
length and cut if sideroom is limited. Before cutting, make sure the floating
axle is free and centred (Fig 2.3.1). Centre will be found by rotating the
axle a quarter turn in either direction then releasing . With centre found,
make a clear mark on the axle against the hub for later reference.
b) With the door the correct way round (the curtain rolls down the rear of the
opening) carefully lift door onto the brackets using block and tackles
attached to the door axles, or other suitable lifting equipment – to avoid
curtain damage.
c) Loosely fit “U” bolt J and/or saddle K , or double saddle and position the
door so that it overlaps the opening evenly both sides so that the axle is
positioned on the bracket arm slots as far forward as possible (Fig 2.3.2)
Fitting the saddles eliminates the door falling from the brackets.
d) Centre the door with the opening, while ensuring the floating axle is also
centred with the door.
Do this by lining up previous marks with the hub, then lift both the axle and
the door together until it is centred with the opening. Rotate both the door
and the axle so that the bottom rail is level with the arm of the bracket.
e) Now tighten the“U” bolts saddle dependent), using washers under nuts K , or
double saddle (door size L, to a torque of 40 newton metres or 30 ft.lb.
WARNING! Axle must be securely clamped otherwise door will lose
spring tension.
2.4 install guides
2.4.1 positioning guides
WARNING! Do not grease the guides. Grease will damage the Nylofelt
running strips and make doors heavier to operate.
CAUTION: Restricted headroom installation is not recommended for
automated doors unless the door is installed lower into the opening.
NOTE:** This will reduce the drive through height.

- R2L Only, above 2400mm only available in WA.
WARNING! All High Wind installations must adhere to fixing types and centres as referenced in the DTCM Drawings and B&D High Wind Drawings.
If securing to uneven brickwork, packers may be required behind clips, to prevent them twisting out of square; also ensure that clips are positioned on secure bricks.
a) Check that curtain overlaps equally on both sides.
b) Check that guides C are the correct length, that is, starts level with the
brackets (or as per table above at position G). (Fig 2.4.1) If guides need to
be shortened cut from bottom of guide.
c) For Series 2 Doors:
(i) Now position one guide over the edge of the door curtain. Mark and drill
the top fixed guide clip and secure using correct fixing and washers as per
table in Section 1.2, allowing 3-4mm clearance between the door and the inside
of the guide.
(ii) Ensuring guide is plumb, using spirit level, then drill and fix remaining
clips and head stop.
For Series 2 Windlock Doors:
(i) If there is limited sideroom available the guide may need to have the side
cut out to accommodate. See Fig 2.4.2 for recommended and restricted sideroom
with a clearance of 2-5mm to the bottom rail roller.
(ii) Now position one guide over the edge of the door curtain. Mark and drill
at top guide hole and secure guide using fixing types as per High Wind
Certification Drawings, taking note of the specific spacing
requirements.
(iii) Ensuring guide is plumb, drill and fix remaining holes in guide as per
spacing details listed.
d) With the top of the 2nd guide level with the first, repeat (c) for the
specific door type.
NOTE: Welding of guides to steelwork is usually not recommended
2.5 tension the springs
WARNING! Once the packaging containing the door roll is cut, the door
will have a strong tendency to rise and revolve. If uncontrolled, the rapidly
unrolling door could cause damage or injury.
2.5.1 tensioning and adjustments
a) Ensure that the bottom rail and axle is turned as one to the position shown
in Fig 2.5.1.
b) Ensure both “U” bolts are tightened, then –
1. Rotate the door 1½ turns in a forward direction to apply tension. Do not
let go as the springs are now tensioned. See arrow in Fig 2.5.1.
2. Hold the door firmly, NOW cut the plastic wrap along the bottom rail
(taking care not to damage door surface or weatherseal).
c) Pull the curtain down slowly into the guides below the head stop in Fig
2.5.2.
d) Fit bottom rail stops E using self locking nuts provided. Allow the door to
rise and rest against head stops Fig 2.5.3.
e) Test the door operation by moving it up and down. The curtain must feed in
smoothly without bumping.
The spring
tension may need to be increased or decreased to ensure smooth operation. This
can be done in Section 2.9.1.
f) Reposition the guides as necessary to allow smooth and even operation with
clearances shown below throughout. See images in Fig 2.5.4 for each specific
guide / wind region, adjust lead in as required Step 2.5.2. Fig: 2.5.4
2.5.2 creating proper guide lead-in
The shape of lead-in is critical for successful door operation and trouble
free performance. The shape of lead-in needs to be formed by the installer,
refer to (fig 2.5.5).
a) With multigrips, bend top 5mm of lead-in approximately 45° to prevent
Nylofelt catching on lead-in.
b) Bend lead-in from door stop to top of lead-in (along press cut),® to finish
15mm from its original position.
c) Check top of guide lead-in to ensure that the door does not make contact
when rotated. Damage to Nylofelt® could result. Installer may need to increase
the 15mm dimension for larger door heights to ensure the smooth operation of
the door.
WARNING! For all doors that are fitted with openers. To reduce the risk
of damage to persons or property, be sure to cut off any excess thread of the
screw that protrudes the weight bottle and file any burs. 2.6 locking
2.6.1 centre lift lock (only with R2W & R2F)
a) Fit faceplate to outside of door. Fit hooks onto edge of aperture then
slide faceplate as far to the right as possible. Use adhesive tape to hold in
position Fig 2.6.1.
b) Attach the lock body to the faceplate from the inside, using screws
supplied. Do not overtighten the screws.
c) Pull the curtain down slowly into the guides below the head stop.
d) Assemble locking bar to retainer and through plastic edge retainer. Mark
the position of lock bar on side of guide. Transfer location mark to inside
back face of guide and drill a file slot 10mm wide x 25mm long. Equally spaced
on centre line of guide. Allow approximately 5mm clearance from top of slot to
top of locking bar.

appendix
3.1 after installation care
cleaning
COLORBOND and coloured steel FINISH DOORS: Your B&D Roll-A-Door ® door has
been pre-painted with a high durability polyester paint system especially
designed and tested for the harsh Australian conditions. However, all exposed
surfaces require some attention to guard against the premature onset of
corrosion and any other harmful atmospheric effects. In our atmosphere there
are harmful deposits that gather on the door surface and if not removed
regularly, will seriously affect the appearance and life of the
door.
Washing of the door with clean water and a cloth every 14 days is recommended
– particular care should be taken to clean areas of the door not normally
washed by rain, including the top of the door roll inside the garage.
NOTE: In locations where there is likely to be salt in the air or
industrial fallout is severe, more frequent washing is advisable and
additional protection of the surface maybe required.
Touch-up paint, if required, is available from your B&D dealer. lock
Your lock does not require special maintenance, however, if the keyway becomes
stiff, the application of powdered graphite is recommended – do not grease or
oil the lock.
The faceplate should be washed with soapy water and rinsed well. Strong
solvents, such as acetone, should not be used – these will damage the surface.
WARNING! Do not disassemble the lock mechanism.
When opening the door, always make sure the key is with drawn from the lock –
if this is not done, the lock mechanism could be damaged and the key bent or
broken.
We suggest you record your full Key letter and Number on the front of this
manual and if replacement keys are required they can be obtained from your
nearest B&D office, simply by quoting this number. If the keys have been lost
and the number not recorded, it can be found stamped into the locking arm at
the back of the mechanism.
NYLOFELT® On no account should you use grease or oil in the door guides or on
the Nylofelt running strips – the grease or oil will clog the Nylofelt® and
spoil the operation of the door. An occasional wipe with a cloth dampened with
mineral turps or methylated spirits, down the inside of each guide, is very
beneficial in removing any trace of grease or dirt.
After the guides have been cleaned, a silicon spray may be used in the guides.
NOTE: WD40 or similar oil based sprays are not silicon and should not be
used.
Care should be taken not to damage the Nylofelt is cut or damaged, a lighted
match should be used to quickly seal the ends of the nylon braiding, so as to
stop any further deterioration.
regular maintenance required
B&D recommends that you check the operation of your Roll-A-Door at least every
six months (more regularly in extreme environments or frequent use). The
effort required to manually open and to manually close the door should be
about the same (if door has an automatic opener, put into manual mode before
testing door). If the door is difficult to operate in either direction (up or
down) then check:
- that the Nylofelt® running strips on each side of the door have not slipped from the edge and are jamming the door;
- that the door is running correctly in the guides and the guides are straight and perpendicular; and
- that the inside surfaces of the guides are clean and free ) of obstructions. (see paragraph on care of Nylofelt®
If you have checked these (and corrected where necessary) and the door is
still difficult to operate, , then your door will need a service to adjust the
spring tension and possibly other operational parts of the door. This service
should only be carried out by an experienced door technician, using the
correct tools.
If you have an automatic opener fitted to your door, it is particularly
important that you ensure the optimum operation of the door, otherwise you may
reduce the effective life of the opener.
To keep your door running well, it is recommended that your door be serviced,
by an experienced door technician, every 12 months (more regularly in extreme
environments or frequent use), or earlier if required.
spring tension
It is natural for springs to lose tension over time. When spring tension is
adjusted or when your door is first installed it is usual to apply a little
more tension than is required for balanced operation, to allow for the normal
“settling in” of the springs.
warranty
Warranty conditional on proper care as recommended above. Full details of the
warranty are available from your nearest B&D office or visit the B&D website
