Installation

Installation of Alutech automatic garage doors can be of three types: standard, low and high with a minimum jumper of 10 cm.

Do-it-yourself installation of the gate begins with checking the horizontal opening in the garage: the upper and lower guides should not have gaps more than 0.1 cm.

Step-by-step instructions from the manufacturer are attached to each set of gates, regardless of whether they are rolled or sectional:

  • at first it is necessary to put a marking on the walls and the ceiling for fixing the guides;
  • then the web is assembled, with starting from the bottom panel;
  • the lower lamel is attached;
  • all elements of the structure are fixed in accordance with the instructions;
  • all sections of the canvas are mounted on the frame, and it is checked whether its upper flap fits snugly;
  • all brackets are adjusted to an ideal state;
  • installed automation, handles and locks;
  • cables are put (it is necessary to check how the springs are tensioned);
  • fixed wiring and gate motion sensor are connected;
  • the gates are started to check the assembly. Sash should walk smoothly and silently, fit snugly at the bottom and top of the opening.

In no case do not use the plates and foam to eliminate the gaps between the mount and the guides. To do this, you need to use only strong steel plates that will withstand the weight of the whole structure.

Otherwise, failure of the bearing units is possible.If the gate was leaking, then the problem is most likely in the preparation of the base for installation.

Reviews

Judging by the reviews of the owners, the Belarusian manufacturers have reached the European level in terms of product quality and level of service.

After a preliminary calculation of the cost of the product, the price does not change. That is, the company does not ask to pay extra for some additional services and functions, if this was not discussed initially. The lead time for the order (“Classic” model) for individual sizes is 10 days. The term of assembly of the gate with the preparation of the opening is two days.

On the first day, the installer from the company eliminates in advance all the shortcomings of the opening, on the second day he quickly assembles the structure, and he also adjusts the height. Separately, users mark convenient opening of the valves in manual modethat even a small child can handle.

Maintenance of the gate is simple: it is necessary to adjust the spring tension once a year, to make it on your own easier, to resort to the help of specialists is not required.Installers are not confused by the sloping type of a garage roof; they cope equally well with the classic and sophisticated installation option.

The owners of the gates of the Trend line speak well of all models, but note that the gate is really suitable for use in temperate climates, for example, in the Krasnodar Territory and similar natural areas.

In addition, positive feedback is collected separately from the pinching of the fingers and the ability to install additional options: wickets in the leaf of the canvas (regardless of the width of the sandwich panel), built-in windows of both a porthole type and a rectangular shape (you can also order stained glass windows ), locks in the handle, unlocking automation.

Successful examples

Any gate from this manufacturer can be entered into the design of a different type: from classic to ultramodern. For example, red color goes well with white walls. For a spectacular appearance does not require any decorative elements. Especially if you additionally install the front door to the house of the same design.

You can also order classic white garage doors and decorate them with wall paintings.

Swing gates Alutech can be represented as a medieval English castle gates.

For those who are not afraid of bold decisions and are challenging society, transparent glass gates will do. True, it would be most appropriate to look in a private household with a closed courtyard.

Those who have two cars, but do not want to divide the garage box into two parts, will fit a long gate with wood decoration. Looks solid and fits well with any landscape design.
