2. Preparatory stage. All revealed irregularities should be eliminated by applying layer plaster. Check is carried out using a level and plumb.
3. We collect a frame representing a design from guides and box. To secure roller shutters, the hole is drilled with a hole with a diameter of 8 mm, retreating 10 cm from the edge of the profile. The distance between the holes should not exceed 50 cm. Hats of hardware must be located "wise" so as not to cause a roller mechanism interference.
4. The hole is drilled to install the drive mechanism. The diameter is selected depending on the modification of the drive.
5. Having attached a roller shutdown to the place of installation, through the holes make marks on the surfaces of the opening.
6. Drill holes in the walls for fastening the frame, after which we install it in place. The position of the design details and plumb is checked.
7. The lamellas are connected to a single cloth, which is fixed on the shaft.
8. Install the clamps and check the correctness of their position in the closed and open condition of the canvas.
9. We plan the locations of the lock and after the preparation of the holes install it.
10. Perform adjustment of the drive mechanism using the manufacturer's instruction. The work of roller shutters is checked: sickens and jams should not be.

The drive mechanism is mounted according to the scheme specified in the instructions.

Tip: For mounting a frame to a concrete surface, a dowel-nail or screws with plastic dowels are used. In order for the design reliably in the opening of bricks, an encirciers are 60-70 mm long anchors. For installation on a wooden surface, use screws.
