This also gives a seamless linear match to the new deeper multi chambered, pre-installed bottom seal with adjustable depth stopper to help compensate for uneven floors! (pic 4) New door hardware is now galvanised with cast aluminium roller spindle holders and smaller captive bearing rollers. This new design also includes a new bottom roller assembly in a two part easy install concept. Not only that, all the hinge parts have small stabiliser indentations which prevent the hinges being installed out of square and placing extra stress and load on the hinge. On Trend front mount torsion doors, a new design of spring mount has been designed. This new system is simple to install! With a new click and bolt system for mounting the spring assembly unit to the frame leg, which again will have the spring support bracket pre-installed to the frame leg. Also a new shaft bearing support with axis adjustment which will help keep and support the spring shaft on a parallel plane even if the installation surface is not! A new range of vision windows which include porthole style windows and square windows in plastic and stainless steel. All these new options now can be pre-installed horizontally or vertically along the face of the door. RAL colour matching is also available on plastic window frames! (pic 5) To complement the Trend door, JDUK have paired it with the ‘Avanti’ garage door opener as part of a complete package. The Avanti T 8 operator is an 800nm, belt drive, with soft start and stop, preprogramed transmitters and easy to set up. The boom can be supplied in either one or two pieces for ease of installation and transportation. A number of UK customers have trialled the operator, all with great success – many have started to buy the operator as a standalone unit and install it on their retractable doors – it’s such good value for a German engineered operator. In conclusion the new Trend range offers greatly improved tracks and hardware systems, easier installation and better value for money, with an Avanti operator included in the price you and your client will be quids in!
