« on: April 24, 2013, 07:57:00 PM »

Be careful when tensioning the drum. Make sure your second bar is in before you remove the first.

Hi achjimmy... Installing and servicing roller doors/ shutters/panel lift doors etc has been my trade for the last 20 years (I now supervise 6 install/repair crews for a company that manufactures industrial roller shutters) B and D Have a very good website with all the info you should need (OCBA use their install manuals when assessing for restricted builders licencing relating to R/Door install). If you have any questions PM me and I will give you my phone number Cheers   Michael..

I can show you the scars from doing it the wrong way; and give you the phone number for someone who does it the right way.

Thx guys, I should declare I was a fitter in a previous life. I have tensioned the odd roller door and my panel lift.

I would happily pay someone but the guy I had lined up I postponed and he said call me when ready, 4 days later I call and he says Iam booked up till Tuesday and then gone for a month!  The other local guy ^*##ed my 2 doors 12 yrs ago and the reason I have previous experience.

Mr Horsepower thanks, I have read those and the steel-line install destructions. I may call if okay. I just have a few questions to be sure.
