Roller shutters are a variety of blinds. This design improves the attractiveness of windows, doors or garage doors. In addition, it protects the inside of the premises from moisture, dust and sunlight. Our article we will talk about how to install rollers on the door.

Varieties of structures

Roller shutdown Doors in the photo and in reality is largely similar to the blinds. Their main element is metal plates that are lowered or rising through the guides. When the plates are opened, the cloth is folded into the roll.

The mechanism by which roller shutters are powered by, is placed in the box at the top of the door. The entire design of the door of the door consists of:

• canvas with horizontal lamellas;
• guides;
• bearings and shaft for movement
• box;
• control systems.

Depending on the material of manufacturing, the protective rolling shutters are steel and aluminum. The best option is steel structures. This is due to the fact that steel lamellas are treated with high-quality powder coating. Due to this, the metal is protected from corrosion.

The advantages of using steel roller shutters also include the possibility of filling them with polyurethane foam. This will additionally protect the room from the cold in the cold time and heat in summer days.

Aluminum structures are characterized by a slight weight, excellent appearance and excellent sound insulation qualities.

Roller shutters at the entrance door can also possess:

• various thickness and width of the lamellas;
• certain control system.

Movement of the canvas can be carried out using:

1. Ribbon mechanism. Raising lamellas occurs with a special ribbon, winding on the "snail". Used for cloths with weight of no more than 15 kg.
2. Collar drive. Movement occurs by a special collar connecting with the cardan shaft and gearbox. With the help of the handle, you can raise the lamellas with a total weight of up to 36 kg.
3. Inertial springs. The canvas are folded into the shaft cavity in which the spring is installed.
4. Reducer cable. Lamilies with a total weight of up to 55 kg.
5. Electric drive. The most expensive option. But it is both reliable as possible because it raises the canvas with any weight. Management occurs with the remote control.

Mounting scheme Rolvtolen

The roller shutoff setting depends on the location of the box and may be:

• outdoor;
• built-in;
• combined.

The first way is the easiest. To mount the outer rollers on the door, you do not need to be prepared by the preparation of slopes and niches for the box. The blast box is mounted directly above the opening, and the guides are on the side of the box. When closing the lamellae, the doorway is completely closed.

The built-in installation scheme provides the location of the lamellae in the doorway. When placing a roller shutdown in the opening of the door should be taken into account that the door should be opened in the inner side of the room.

The combined method of attachment of the canvas involves the creation of a special excavation from above the opening, which is intended for the box. This scheme should be laid in the project while erecting the house or repairing repair work. Roller shutters are placed inside the opening. The difference from the built-in method is that open lamellas do not interfere with the opening of the door.

Preparatory stage

For high-quality mounting roller shutters instead of the door, it is necessary to spend thorough surface preparation. It must comply with the following requirements:

• the difference between the diagonals of the sides of the opening should not exceed 0.5 cm;
• the maximum allowable magnitude of the deviations of the upper and vertical slopes is 1.5 mm / 1 m;
• on the surface of the opening, there should be no irregularities, chips and a creaking plaster (if necessary, a decoration of slopes should be carried out).

At this stage do:

• preparation of lateral guides and box;
• marking places for mounting holes.

Preparation of guides and boxes

Preparation of lateral guides suggests:

• their laying on a flat surface;
• mark of places for holes along the entire length of the guides in increments of 0.4-0.5 m;
• drilling holes (with an outer installation, the drilling of both sides of the guides is drilled, and the upper side is drilled under the decorative plug).

Contribution of the box includes such actions:

• applying the lid to the box;
• drilling holes through the cover (after fixing the roller shutters in these holes, rivets are installed);
• drilling holes for fastening elements of the box and drive mechanism;
• assembling guides and boxes.

The location of the holes depends on the method of fastening the lamellas:

• in the rear - with outdoor installation;
• at the top - when installed on the door of internal rigors;
• in all planes - with a combined version.

With an outdoor installation with pliers, the box is cut in places where it connects to the guides.

Marking of places for mounting holes

At this stage:

• the collected rolling shutters are applied to the way;
• the correct vertical and horizontal location of all elements is checked;
• with the help of a pencil, marks are made for fasteners on the wall and slopes.

With outdoor design, all parts should be located on the wall that adjoins the imaging. If the roller shutters are mounted inside the opening, then they must come into contact with the upper and side slopes.

Mounting work

They consist of such actions:

• drilling holes under fasteners;
• frame device;
• fixation of controls;
• installation of the canvas and box cover.

Marking of places for mounting holes

Stages of work:

• from the opening, the framework elements are removed;
• on the outlined points are made holes;
• dowels are inserted into the holes;
• a hole for the drive mechanism is done (its diameter depends on the type of roller shutoff);
• a protective spring is inserted into it.

In the presence of shut-off elements, openings are made from the bottom of the guides intended for reliable fixation of the structure.

Fixation of framework and controls

Stages of work:

• removing protective films from the back of the frame;
• applying a design on "your" place;
• checking the correctness of the location of the frame in the horizontal and vertical plane;
• fixation of the frame by self-drawing;
• fastening elements with which the roller shutters will be controlled.

In the process of performing installation work, the distance between the frame elements is required. It is impossible to make skew because it is fraught with problems in the functioning of the lamellae.

When the lamellae is outdoor, the controls are mounted inside the wall. To do this, drill holes and fix the guides and the lento.

Installation of canvas and box cover

Stages of work:

• fixation of the remote rings in the perforated shaft at a distance of 0.4-0.5 m from each other;
• installation of manual beebles on a rolling canvase (from two sides at the end of the profile);
• stretching the canvas in the top of the shaft into the guides;
• fastening traction springs on top of a canvas in perforated holes;
• fixation of the lid of the box on rivets;
• removing the protective tape from the outer surface;
• installation of the limiters at the end of the profile of the web;
• closing holes with decorative plugs, lubricated silicone.

The design of the lamellae can close not only the entrance doors. Pretty practical option - rolling shutters instead of the door to the storage room. It is especially important for small apartments, where such a decision contributes to a significant savings of room space.
