Securi-Dor AP2000 AUTOMATIC SECURITY LOCKING SYSTEM
(Protected by UK patent application No. 9619157.2)
For the automation of the original manual latches on one-piece
retractable remote controlled garage doors
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
For use on one-piece retractable garage doors with either
cable operated or sliding rod type latch systems
compatible with most electric operators (not Swift Challenger,
Henderson Aperto, Sprint or Marathon)
1.
Close the door and check that the top wheels are not supporting the weight
of the door when closed as this can prevent the door from closing properly
at the bottom, adjust the track position on the doorframe if necessary,
check the door alignment and check that the existing manual side latches
or sliding bars engage freely onto the striker plates.
2. Remove the straight connecting bar linking the operator sliding trolley
to the door bracket. (and "L" bracket if fitted)
3. Pull the manual disconnect cord to disengage the operator and fit
the new connecting bar assembly in place of the original, an
"L:" connecting bracket may be used
as in Fig 1 to improve horizontal alignment if required. (it may be
necessary to reposition or modify the door header bracket to give
clearance for the de-latching lever on the new
assembly)
4. Remove the original lock cam mechanism from the back of the door
handle, retain the latch cables or rods for re-use.
5. Fit the 1/2"dia telescopic connecting rod over the 3./8" rod
and fit the new latch operating cam assembly at a central position on the
door at a height corresponding to the
existing side latches using the two 4.8mm pop rivets supplied.
Note :-
If the door has rigid bar type locking continue to stage 7 and then use
stage 6 to make final adjustments to the latches.
6. Adjust the telescopic connecting rod length to achieve a cam plate
angle as shown in Fig 4, then secure the telescopic joint with the two
self-drilling, self tapping screws supplied.
7. Connect the two original rigid latch bars (as fig 3) or side latch
cables (as fig 2) to the rear of the latch operating cam assembly using
¼" clevis pins, penny washers & starlock
washers, (supplied) adjust cable lengths so that the door latches are
withdrawn by 5mm.
8. Lubricate all moving parts on the Securi-Dor device, door arm
pivot points & rollers etc. with oil. (engine
oil recommended)
9. Re-engage and carefully run the
electric operator and re-set the open & close limit stop adjustments
making sure that the new connecting bar
assembly is compressed to 80 - 90% of its travel when the door is closed. (see
self adhesive lable)
Note :- It is
recommended that a door stop is fitted to the top of the door to limit
unwanted door movement and stress when the door is fully closed.
10. Check the operation of the latches and make final adjustments
making sure the latches engage when the door is closed by the electric
operator, and release prior to opening, also
check the safety-stop system and make adjustments to the trip sensitivity
if necessary.
