Having confirmed that your door type is suitable, please check your garage door dimensions. The F700 opener is rated for doors of no more than a 10 square meter area with a height of 2.24 meters. In some cases, taller doors are possible with a longer rail so please give us a call if you require this or if you are in need of any further information.
What force is necessary to lift a garage door? You need to balance the door properly, which means adjusting the weights or spring counter-balance. In practice, our opener will lift any door that is properly balanced. As previously stated, the motor has a traction force of 700N which is more than adequate for a standard garage door. Please note that any door to be automated should first be brought back into good working order. An automated opener should NOT be fitted because the door has become stiff or out of balance. Garages that provide passage through your house can be a weak point in your home security. You are advise to fit security dead locks on the doors connecting the house to its garage area. Garage AND connecting doors should be linked to your home's alarm system by a qualified fitter. The garage door opener provides powered operation of the door. It should NOT be considered as a locking device.
Please note - This unit is suitable for single garage doors only. You should ensure your door is in a fully serviceable condition prior to the installation of any opener.
