All hardware will be according to our shop drawings and specifications described below.

 
TRACKS:

 
The 50 mm vertical and horizontal tracks will be formed from 2.4 mm thick Z275 galvanized steel. The track brackets will be welded to the vertical tracks and inclined for a better tight closing.

The end bearing plates will be in Z275 galvanized steel 3.2 mm thick, protected by one coat of zinc primer, with press fitted bearings. For doors exceeding 159 kg the end bearing plates will be 6.4 mm thick with bolted pillow blocks.

The use of pillow blocks is highly recommended for all types of doors because of the flexibility of the moving shaft when the door is in movement.

 
ADJUSTABLE TOP CORNER BRACKETS:

 
The top corner brackets will be in galvanized steel 1.9 mm thick, adjustable type, in order to adjust properly the top section to the lintel. Door sections weighing more than 55 kg or exceeding 4920 mm in width will have double top corner brackets.

The rollers will be 50 mm in diameter. They will be in galvanized steel with 10 ball bearings. The cold roll stem 1.11 mm in diameter will be 100 mm long. The rollers will have 177 mm long for doors exceeding 4920 mm in width.

 
HINGES:

 
The hinges will be in galvanized steel, 2.2 mm thick, numbered and with a graduation to insure a tight fitting to the jambs. Door sections weighing more than 55 kg or exceeding 4920 mm in width will have double end hinges. The hinges will be 3 mm thick on doors weighing more than 159 kg.

 
BOTTOM CORNER BRACKETS:

 
The bottom corner brackets will be in galvanized steel 2.7 mm thick.

Safety bottom corner brackets are mandatory on all doors with a hi-lift or vertical lift.

The torsion springs will be oil tempered helical type designed to withstand 10,000 to 100,00 cycles per annum depending on its application. The shaft or tubing will be retained to the end bearing plates with press fitted bearings. The intermediate bearing plates in Z275 galvanized steel 3.4 mm thick will be supplied in suitable number to support the torsion springs and the weight of the door.

 
CABLE DRUMS:

 
The cable drums will be high pressure die cast aluminum alloy. The dimensions of the drums vary according to the size of the door and required hi-lift.

 
CABLES:

 
The cables will be in galvanized steel, aircraft type, 7 x 19 construction, with a safety factor 7:1 to suit a 10,000 cycle life minimum to 100,000 cycle life maximum.
