Before installing, you need to carefully measure the openings where future protective structures will stand.
We start working with the preparation of side speakers. On the rails we plan places where it is planned to install fasteners. Next, we use the drill number 12 and drill through holes by tags. When everything is done, we put the drill number 14 to drill them a hole on one side of the rails for installation in the further decorative plug.
It was a queue of the box: inside we blend all the available plastic fasteners necessary for fixing side speakers. Next, we attach manually to the box lateral metal rails and, having experienced a design to the work, check the level of inclination. Then in those holes that drilled in side rails for fastening, install this molding, then fasten the box on the wall.
If the box is bought with a machine gun, you will need to do a hole in the wall for conducting an electrocable through it. For more secure cable operation, it is better to drill a hole in the wall under the place where the box will be installed (and not on the side, from above, bottom, etc.). The electrical cable is then connected to the control box attached to the wall, or to the electronic, which receives data from the key fob. For a hand roll, you have to pull the cable and install the handle.
The main work was made, and remained the last small strokes:
- We wind up the cloth. The bar, where they will be sweeping, it is better to pre-rewind in any soft material (for example, a package) in order to avoid scratches on the canvas. At the end of the shutters are attached fixators.
- If metal roller shutters are installed outside, then the blocking reigleel should be fastened well - it does not allow you to lift the cloth with the bottom.
- We complete the work by installing the lower bar on the roller shutter. For external mechanisms, it is recommended to drill the bolts heads to prevent them from unscrewing by intruders. Then the plugs are put.
