During the installation of a sectional door, common misconceptions can affect the performance, safety and longevity of the door. Below are some common installation misconceptions and their descriptions.

1.Ignore the size of the door opening

Mistake: When installing a sectional door, you do not accurately measure the size of the doorway, resulting in a mismatch between the door and the doorway.

Solution: Before installation, make sure to accurately measure the height and width of the doorway and choose the right sectional door according to the actual size.

2.No consideration of floor flatness

Mistake: Failure to check the flatness of the floor at the time of installation causes the door to jam or become unbalanced when lifting.

Solution: Ensure that the installation floor is level, and if necessary, carry out ground trimming to ensure the smooth operation of the liftgate.

3.Neglecting to set up safety functions

Mistake: Safety sensors, photoelectric switches and other safety devices are not properly configured during installation.

Solution: Ensure that all safety features are working properly to prevent the door from causing injury to people or objects during operation.

4.Failure to consider power and control systems

Mistake: Neglecting the wiring of the power supply and the setting of the control system results in the door not working properly.

Solution: Before installation, plan the location of the power supply and control system in advance to ensure that the power supply is stable and meets the power requirements of the sectional door.

5.Failure to carry out proper commissioning

Mistake: Failure to carry out full commissioning after installation results in the door body not running smoothly or malfunctioning.

Solution: After installation, carry out full commissioning and testing to ensure that the door body runs smoothly and functions properly.

6.Lack of attention to material selection

Mistake: Choose low-quality materials based on price and ignore the durability and adaptability of materials.

Solution: Choose high-quality materials that meet the requirements of the environment in which they are used to ensure the durability and safety of the liftgate.

7.Ignoring climatic and environmental factors

Mistake: Choosing a sectional door without considering the climatic conditions results in the door failing in extreme weather.

Solution: Selecting the right sectional door for the climatic conditions of the installation site ensures that it can be used properly in a variety of environments.

8.Failure to follow manufacturer's installation instructions

Mistake: Failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions closely during installation may result in an improper installation.

Solution: Always follow the installation instructions and recommendations provided by the manufacturer to ensure proper installation.

9.Neglecting maintenance and upkeep

Mistake: Do not carry out regular inspection and maintenance after installation, resulting in wear and tear and malfunction of the door.

Solution: Regular inspection and maintenance of the sectional door to ensure its normal operation and prolong service life.

By avoiding these common pitfalls, you can ensure that your sectional door is installed correctly and operates consistently over the long term, thereby improving safety and efficiency of use.
