Abstract:
A method of arranging an overhead sectional door (SD) in a doorframe (10; 20) that defines a door opening, the overhead sectional door (SD) comprising a plurality of door panel sections (100; 200; 300; 400; 500). The method disclosed herein involves: a) fitting a first door panel section (100) in the doorframe (10; 20), b) fitting a second door panel section (200) in the doorframe (10; 20), and c) actuating an electric motor (M) to cause the first door panel section (100) to push the section door panel section (200) a distance in an upward direction. The method further involves: d) securing the second door panel section (200) with respect to the doorframe (10; 20), e) causing said at least one electric motor (M) to move the first door panel section (100) a distance in a downward direction, thereby leaving a space (60) between the secured door panel section and the first door panel section (100), f) fitting a next door panel section (300; 400; 500) in the space (60), and g) causing said at least one electric motor (M) to move the first door panel section (100) a distance in an upward direction. Further, the method involves: h) unsecuring the secured door panel section (200; 300; 400; 500) with respect to the doorframe (10; 20), causing said at least one electric motor (M) to move the first door panel section (100) a further distance in an upward direction, engaging the top edge of the next door panel section (300; 400; 500) with the bottom edge of the previously secured door panel section (200; 300; 400; 500), and securing the next door panel section (300; 400; 500) with respect to the doorframe (10; 20). The method also involves repeating steps e) to h) for each next door panel section (300; 400; 500) until at least all but a last door panel section of the overhead sectional door (SD) have been arranged.
