When a combination of quality and economy in an upward-acting, light-duty
commercial door is specified, the new Gliderol Broadline®
continuous curtain door is the ideal answer.
Curtain. The curtain is roll-formed from .5 gauge zincalume
base sheet [steel. The deep ribbing created in the roll-forming adds
strength, durability and enhances the architectural appearance of the
installed door. Incorporating a hidden lockseam the Broadline®
doors curtain appears uninterupted.
The continuous steel curtain reduces the need for interlocking slats
commonly employed in the more expensive roller shutters, but it operates
in the same manner. The curtain coils and uncoils around the
counterbalance shaft during operation. Compared to slat-type doors, the
Broadline® door is quieter and requires less effort to
open and close.
The roller door curtain is weather protected by Rollformed Zincalume base
steel sheet panels. Able to withstand the harshest of Australian
conditions.
Size for size, the Broadline® door delivers one of the
best windload values of any door in its price range. The strength of the
horizontally ribbed curtain, and the stability provided by the deep steel
channel guides, results in a superior windload capacity. Full windloading
information is provided on the technical data and mounting detail page of
this brochure.
Unique Glide Design. The Broadline®
door's unique glide design provides smoother, quieter and easier
opening-and-closing operation by eliminating metaI-to-metaI contact. The
glide system employs a self-lubricating polyglide® strip
applied to the surface of the curtain.
Door Guides. These are constructed of roll-formed
galvanised steel to provide superior strength. The deep channels help
maintain the integrity of the door and assure proper alignment. All guides
are pre-punched for easy mounting and installation on the specified type
wall or jamb.
Brackets. These are constructed of 5mm angle steel welded
structural steel angles, and are supplied according to door size.
Counter-balance. Every Gliderol® door
size is computer-matched with the proper counterbalance system for spring
sizing, tension and strength based on door size. The counterbalance drum
wheels and centre support arm are both self-lubricating nylon, and there
are no rollers or hinges to break or wear out. Doors over 3m wide x 3.6m
high are furnished with either direct-drive 1 :1 ratio or gear-reduced
chain hoist drive, depending on the door size (See Standard Operation
Selection Chart). Doors over 3m wide x 3.6m high are not recommended for
manual push-up operation. Chain hoist systems are supplied in right-hand
configuration unless otherwise specified. The chain wheel and planetary
gears are made of a strong, light-weight, engineered nylon. The planetary
gear reduction system is compact and built to exacting tolerances. The
chain wheel is designed to self-centre the chain for years of trouble-
free operation.
Optional Windlocking. Secure your commercial Roller Door
against prevailing winds. Windlock clips fixed to the Commercial Door
curtain secure the door in the Guide and ensure strength and security at
all times. (Cyclone Rated. Certified AS 1170-2).
Locking Mechanism
For the Broadline®
Roller Door an interior or exterior Shoot Bolt Lock is provided. This lock
can be mounted at any height to suit individual preferences. On
chain-operated Commercial and Standard model doors, an interior chain
locking fixture on the door guide is standard.
Bottom Rail
The aluminium bottom rail resists
tampering and adds rigidity to the bottom of the door.
Bottom Weatherseal
A PVC bottom seal fits against
the floor surface. An optional lintel weatherseal is available on all
models.
Mounting System
The Gliderol door can be easily
installed on any kind of building surface -wood, masonry, concrete, or
steel. Because of its compact design, headroom and side clearance,
requirements are minimal. Your local Gliderol Distributor can provide
fully trained experts to handle all installation procedures for you in a
minimum amount of time. They can also properly adjust each Gliderol door
counterbalance system to the proper tension for the specific on-site
