Rolling gates very popular. The design and types of installation have been studied for a long time. But very often, upon the technician’s arrival at the site, many comments arise on the opening, which complicates the installation of the gate, or even makes it impossible.
Zashchita Company specialists have prepared some recommendations for preparing an opening for installing rolling gates.
1. Design of rolling gates.
To begin with, let us recall the main structural details of the gate (Fig. 1). Rice. 1
Rice. 2 Please pay attention to design feature joining the side cover with the guide rail. We will need this information later.
The technical parameters of the profile do not matter for the preparation of the opening, but for information I would like to clarify that rolling gates household use supplied from 77 profile. All other profiles 45, 58 are considered roller shutters.
Box
Boxes for rolling gates for domestic use are supplied in two types:
- 300 and 375 (360) see in fig. 3
Note. 375 box consists of 3 parts, for built-in installation it comes with a back cover, for surface installation - without a back cover.
Rice. 3
E If the finished gate design is 2700 - 2900mm (including the frame), then a 300mm frame is supplied. Rolling gates over 2900m high are supplied with 375 (360) frames.
Attention! If the gate is large, then with a height of up to 2900, a frame of 375 (360) is possible. Be sure to check with specialists.
The size of the box is very important when constructing columns. The height of the passage + box + end profile (100mm).
The photo shows an example of an Alutech gate with a 360 frame (without a back cover).
Gate size, mm - w. 5210 x c. 2700(passage size - w. 5010 x h. 2240)
Complete set - 360 boxes, 102 shafts, guide bars - 100.
Depending on the size of the structure, guide bars are supplied in the following types: 83, 90, 100.
The tire size is very important when determining the type of gate installation.
With built-in installation, the guide rails cover part of the opening width.
For surface-mounted installation, the size of the tires is required when erecting columns.
2. Type of installation of rolling gates.
Basically, roller gates (roller gates) are used as entrance gates to the territory, but sometimes they are also installed on the garage.
Installation of built-in 
military
With built-in installation, the light opening is reduced - in width due to guide rails (166 -200mm), in height - due to the box + end profile (400 -475mm).
For correct and reliable installation, some requirements related to the opening must be met:
- openings must have a rectangular shape;
- bad
The speed to which the guide bar is attached must be even and smooth;
- rejectedThe distance between working surfaces from vertical and horizontal should not exceed 5 mm.
If the walls (columns) have an uneven, convex or concave contour, in this case the gate structure cannot fit tightly to the walls and therefore gaps form. If such gaps are 2-3mm, they can be hidden using a sealing material matched to the color of the structure, but there are gaps of 10-20mm.
Installation of invoice
Surface-mounted installation is the most common and simplest type of installation of roller shutters. The box with the canvas is installed above the opening, the guide rails are on the side of it. The opening should be at the same level and have a smooth surface.
3. Preparing the opening.
If you are installing roller gates on a garage, you first of all need to decide where the gate will be located - inside the garage or outside.
If the ceiling inside the garage is 300 or 400 mm, and there are no pipes or other structures in the places where the gate is attached, then you can safely install the gate inside the garage.
Note.
In order to determine the height of the opening in the light, it is necessary to take into account the size of the box (300, 375) and the size of the end profile (approximately 10 cm with sealing rubber), which does not go into the box and also blocks the light opening.
When installing gates on columns (at the entrance), it is necessary to prepare stable columns of the required height.
Let's go back to the beginning of the article and look at Fig. 2, which shows that the side cover is inserted into the guide rail. Since the main mechanisms (shaft, drive, entire profile (in the open state)) are located in the box, the main load falls on the side covers, so they must be rigidly fixed. Therefore, when calculating the height of the entrance columns, it is necessary to take into account the finished height of the rolling gates.
Example.
Installation of roller gates at the entrance, type of installation - overhead.
If you want to travel to pure form was - shire. 3000 x h. 2700
You need the width between the columns to be 3000mm
The height of the columns must be at least 3175mm
IN in this case, the height of the light opening will be 2700 mm
Finished gate structure - 3175m.
DIMENSIONS AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE OPENING
H - opening height; B - opening width
Ceiling, when installing gates with an overlay from inside the room, from 250 to 350 mm. b1 and b2 - areas for fastening the guides, (not less than the width of the guide - 90mm).
When installing an overlay on an opening, the wall on which the gate is installed must be in the same vertical plane, without protrusions or niches. With built-in installation, the gate is located inside the opening, and the minimum dimensions of the opening are indicated.
If the wall is made of foam blocks, you should scald the inner opening with a 75x75mm corner.
Before installation begins, you must complete all finishing, plaster, etc.
And, of course, electrical wiring. It is necessary to provide electrical wiring to one of the columns to connect the gate, since rolling gates are mainly supplied with an electric drive.
I hope that this information It will be useful to you.
We often store some old things, valuable and not so valuable tools, spare parts for the “iron horse” and other equipment in the garage. To secure all these treasures, you need to choose the right gate.
A modern development for the garage - roller shutters. Their main purpose is ensuring the highest level of security and the need for an aesthetic component.
It is also possible to make your own garage shutters and save some money.
If it is necessary to protect the premises, you will need quality product, with easy procedure and use. This type of product can be called roller shutters for the garage.
Steel or aluminum profiles with varying degrees of thickness are the basis for the production of roller shutters.
Aluminum products are characterized by increased strength, do not rust, and their service life is longer than that of other products.
The slats are pulled together tightly to to enhance the anti-vandal effect, and for the holding function additional rigid ribs are installed.
This procedure requires a product thickness of 0.5 to 1 millimeter, which places a large load on the electric drive.
Products made from steel alloy profiles the most reliable and durable. To ensure that the structure is not exposed to moisture, it is made from galvanized steel sheets.
Thermal cumulation in the garage is achieved by additional insulation of roller shutters. To do this, the entire perimeter of the gate is covered with special insulation. This will help you get comfortable temperature indoors even with sub-zero temperatures outside the window.
Roller shutters designed for garages are produced two types: with vertical and horizontal opening and closing of the gate. Gate structures can be opened manual method or automatic.
Rolling gates are different simple installation and exploitation. Such products can be installed both inside and outside the garage opening.
An extensive selection of slats allows you to choose a door for any garage opening.
Roller shutters have long been popular material, capable of protecting windows, doors, garage doors and other spaces.
They not only cope with protection, but also tightly hide the room from intrusion sun rays and noise produced from the street.
The market offers a variety of roller shutters, differing in technology, material used to create the product, installation method and operational purpose.
According to the installation method, such products are divided into built-in and overhead. Overhead products are installed on top of the opening that needs protection, and built-in products are installed in the inside of the opening.
Experts recommend using roller shutters with indoor installation, because they are resistant to mechanical stress, hold tightly, are not subject to bending, and from an aesthetic point of view are more attractive than the second type.
According to the material added to production, roller shutters are divided into:
By purpose of roller shutters divided into sanitary, window and garage.
Today the range of roller shutters is huge, and is presented in various types and flowers.
The most popular horizontal roller shutters, they are widely used to protect financial institutions, in private homes, apartments and to protect shops. Craftsmen recommend installing vandal-proof shutters - protective roller shutters.
These products increased strength, ease of installation and management, and other positive characteristics.
Roller shutters vary by type of work into mechanical and manual. In the manual type, the owner makes an effort to unlock and close the shutters, while in the mechanical type, it is enough to just press the button provided on a special remote control remote control.
There is another subtype of similar structures - roller gates. They are often used to hide garages from prying eyes and are even more durable.
You can evaluate the degree of protection of such gates in the video below, which shows a crash test of the structure:
Therefore, in such structures, products made of composite, plastic or aluminum material are sometimes used.
If you need lightweight roller shutters that are durable, you can use products made from aluminum.
Such materials are filled with polyurethane. If the garage owner does not have great financial resources, he can afford roller shutters made of plastic fabric.
Moreover, such material characterized by wear resistance and can be wet cleaned.
Roller shutters made of polycarbonate material optimize the lighting required for the room. This design includes a roller shutter base made of lamellas, a cylinder, guides and a box.
A design of this type allows you to install a system with closing and opening of the canvas in all directions and at different slopes. Such roller shutters ideal for garage and for a partition between two sections in a room.
Products from will appeal to those garage owners who do not want to be separated from the outside world by a dense fence.
Such systems do not separate the garage from the yard with a dense coating, but only slightly muffle the impact sunlight into the room.
Roller shutters made from wooden elements rarely used, and most often serve only as a decorative component. This type is popular only for indoor use or window openings.
It is not advisable to use such roller shutters to protect a garage, since the material from which they are made is not durable, and if you try to break into the garage, it will be damaged by mechanical damage caused by intruders.
Roller shutters in bright colors differ in cost from plain products to a greater extent. However, it is not necessary to focus on purchasing expensive models; it is enough that the gate protects the property inside it.
Roller shutters can be purchased at the store or at construction market, but many craftsmen want to make such products themselves. Before self-production design is important decide on installation technology future fencing.
It can be internal, external or built-in.
Most often, self-taught craftsmen use an external method, which involves fixing the box above the opening.
This method is good because it does not require additional preparatory work.
All work on the production of roller shutters will be divided into three stages:
You may be interested in how to make inexpensive garage doors from corrugated sheets with your own hands.
IN preparatory stage are calculated geometric parameters the entire roller shutter, as well as its components, which are obtained by cutting long blanks.
Then must be drawn up detailed drawing , where the overall dimensions of a homemade roller shutter (width and height) will be clearly indicated, the size of which depends on the size of the opening covered by the roller shutter and the installation type (internal, external or built-in).
Also in the drawing, the necessary parameters are the roller shutter curtain, the length of the guide rail, the length of the protective box and the octagonal shaft.
Manufacturing procedure can be divided into certain points:
For making roller shutters, even with your own hands, certain equipment required, including:
For successful installation roller shutters will need some Building tools: tape measure, level, screwdriver, pliers, hammer, drill with perforation function, nut wrenches and scissors.
Before installation, it is important to properly prepare the opening. This includes removal of defects and irregularities walls to create a good tight fit of the guide rails, without signs of gap.
The most time consuming job– this is the preparation and use of holes and fasteners. The holes are made using a hammer drill at a distance of half a meter. Fastening accessories are selected according to the wall material.
For concrete, you need to attach steel anchors with plastic dowels; metal will require self-tapping screws; for a brick opening, steel anchors with a spacer are created. For wooden structures Screws or studs will be required.
After the drilling work is completed, you need secure the frame, guide tires and drive mechanism. The master should check the box and tires with a level to prevent distortion. Electrical elements are connected to the drive mechanism.
At one of the last stages, the roller shutter is assembled with deadbolt locks and springs for traction. At the end, you need to remove all unnecessary seams and holes, install plugs and various accessories.
How to install roller shutters yourself? Watch the assembly and installation process in the video below:
There are many varieties garage doors, each of which has a lot of positive and negative points. We are already accustomed to traditional swing doors, which have a simple and reliable design. However, in some cases their use is not entirely justified. It is more profitable to use alternative options. Today we will look at roller garage doors, including economy class ones, their design, components, operating principles, as well as the features of do-it-yourself installation.
Roller gates in the garage
Roller shutter gates are a leaf consisting of many profile aluminum or steel elements called lamellas. Their thickness is usually 19-23 mm, and their width is 37-120 mm. The lamellas have voids inside, which are filled at the factory with polyurethane foam insulation. The slats are connected to each other by means of a hook-lock, forming a flexible sash. All spaces between the lamellas are lined with insulators. An end piece is attached to the bottom of the leaf, ensuring a tight fit of the sash to the floor during the closing process.
In addition to the main leaf, roller garage doors consist of the following structural elements:
Appearance on the roller shutter drum The flexible sash opens only at the operator’s command. You can control the sash using a button located inside the garage, or use a radio control unit for this purpose. During the opening process, the sash rises and is wound onto a rotating shaft. So it is fixed by a special mechanism. The sash closes in reverse order. Conventional window shutters function in exactly the same way. The movement of the sash is assisted by rollers, which ensure smooth movement of the leaf.
The sash is controlled manually, or by electric drive. In the latter case, the system is additionally equipped with an emergency lift in case of a power outage. Roller doors must also be equipped with an emergency brake in case of possible failures. A special gearbox should prevent the sash from falling quickly.
Let's look at how to install roller gates on a garage with your own hands. In most cases, the guides and the box with the canvas are installed with inside garage. This ensures higher reliability of the design. External method Do-it-yourself installations are chosen if the thickness of the box with the canvas does not allow it to be placed under the garage ceiling.
Drum box Roller doors for garages can be installed overhead or built-in. The overhead method involves placing the box on the wall. With the built-in method, the box is located at the bottom of the upper garage slope.
The work is performed in the following order:
We looked at what roller garage doors are. If installation is carried out correctly, the operation of such a structure will be established within a few hours after the start of installation. If handled with care, such a system can last for decades without causing any trouble to its owner. To ensure the security of the garage, it is recommended to equip the roller structure with additional locks.
Roller garage doors are perfect for buildings where the room itself is not large and there is not enough space on the outside for other door options. Today we will look at roller garage doors and everything connected with them.
This ranges from characteristics to installation rules. Installing a roller garage door is not that difficult; you just need to follow the instructions for doing the work.
Rolling garage doors have their advantages, but they are not suitable for everyone. Let's take a closer look at them. The popularity of this type of design is not accidental, since reviews of such a product are only positive.
Good strength characteristics are achieved through the use of several sheets of steel and polyurethane foam, which is located between them. The latter plays the role of insulation.
Attention: The thicker the section, the higher the price for garage doors of this type.
Manufacturers pay special attention to safety indicators:
Rolling garage doors are produced in various configurations. Here you need to proceed from the structural features.
Their price mainly depends on the size of the canvas. They contain the following mechanisms and components:
When lowering or raising the barrier cloth, it begins to move using special side guides under the influence of traction force, which is created by the built-in electric drive control.
If you have weighed the pros and cons, and have decided on rolling gates, then you can begin installing them. It should be noted that in order to achieve the best result, it is best to entrust all work to workers who are professionals in this matter.
It is simply impossible to make such gates with your own hands. The maximum that can be discussed is their self installation, but this process will require a person to have certain skills, tools and abilities, and they may be missing.
But if you want to save money or control the actions of workers, then knowing the main stages of installation is simply necessary.
Gate installation, like all other work, must begin with proper preparation:
Attention: It is important to inspect the opening, because guide elements will be installed along which the gate strips will move and hold.
The next stage of installing rolling gates is to install the guides. Such elements are strips into which the edges of the canvas are installed.
There they are held using a special fastening system. These structural parts are installed on the inner surface of the side opening.
Then, when working with roller shutters, there comes the moment of direct installation of the shaft on which the leaf is secured. The entire system will be set in motion by him.
Attention: It is worth noting that depending on personal preferences, as well as design features the box can be installed inside the opening or on the inside, outside. The door leaf itself is attached to the shaft.
The last stage of work is this procedure.
Attention: Electric drive It is important to equip it with additional protection against moisture and dust.
Roller garage doors are not that difficult to install. If you look at the photos and videos, then you will understand everything immediately.
Here it is important to take your time and make the correct markings. Then the system will work for a long time and will not cause you any trouble.
Modern market building materials allows you to solve the same problem by several different ways. This means that it becomes possible to approach each specific case as flexibly as possible and take into account all the smallest subtleties and nuances. So, for example, when installing garage doors, you should know that there can be quite a lot of variations on this theme. This will satisfy the most original requests.
An example of one such interesting option is a roller garage door. About some of their features technical characteristics and carrying out installation work will be discussed further.
In order to fully understand what exactly you have to deal with when equipping a garage with roller doors, it is necessary to say a few words about what it is. Roller gates, or as they are often called roller gates, are usually called a system in which there are no doors at all, and the opening occurs according to the principle of blinds.
If you describe general device rolling gates, then it looks like this. The gates themselves are movably interconnected profile parts that make up a strip of a given width. Another essential part of a rolling gate is the movable shaft on which the gate is fixed. During operation, the shaft rotates and the gate, rising upward, is screwed onto the shaft. In many ways, such a system is reminiscent of a similar design of blinds that are installed on windows.
As mentioned above, roller gates are quite original solution, which has a number of both positive and not entirely positive performance characteristics. Therefore, before choosing this type of gate, you need to familiarize yourself with them.
The undoubted advantages of the mentioned system include:
As for the shortcomings of the system, they include:
If all the nuances have been weighed, and the choice in favor of rolling gates has been made, then you can begin installing them. It is worth noting that to achieve best result work, it would be most advisable to entrust their implementation to professional workers. In any case, making such gates with your own hands is impossible. The most you can talk about is installing them yourself, but this process will require a certain set of skills, abilities and tools that may not exist. However, if you want to save money or simply for the purpose of monitoring the actions of workers, it is still worth knowing the main stages of installing roller shutter gates.
The next step in installing rolling gates is installing the guides. These elements are special strips into which the edges of the door leaf will be installed and held there using a special fastening system. These structural elements are installed according to inner surface side openings.
The next stage of installing roller shutter gates is the installation of the shaft itself, on which the door leaf will be attached, and with the help of it the entire system will be set in motion. This shaft is installed together with the box. Inside it is placed not only the shaft itself, but also a gear system and a chain drive, which are necessary for the operation of the system. The shaft is usually treated with special anti-corrosion compounds. It is equipped with two ball bearings, thanks to which it rotates. It is important to note that, depending on the design features and personal considerations, the box can be installed inside the opening or on its external or internal side. The gate leaf itself is also connected to the shaft.
The final stage of installation is the installation of the drive with which the entire system will operate. The drive can be either manual or equipped with an electric motor. The first option is, for obvious reasons, much cheaper, but the second is much more convenient, since it can be controlled using a remote control. In addition, it must be said that rolling gates can be equipped with additional protection against unauthorized entry in the form of additional locks and alarms.
Note! The electric drive needs additional protection from dust and moisture.
In conclusion, we can add that the installation of roller gates is quite an interesting option, with a lot of positive qualities. But at the same time, you need to remember that for security reasons, the entrance to the site itself should be equipped with additional locks, since roller gates provide rather mediocre protection. Otherwise, the option is quite worthy of attention.
