Fastening material for gates – secure installation & long-lasting stability
Door fastening materials are the invisible foundation of any stable and durable door system. Without the right screws, anchors, brackets, and mounting kits, neither garage doors nor industrial doors could function reliably. Every component, from the guide rail to the floor bracket, requires the correct fastening to ensure safety, load-bearing capacity, and compliance with standards.
Why fastening material is crucial
A door can only operate as safely and securely as it is securely fastened. Even the smallest weak spots in screws or dowels can lead to problems: rails can become loose, panels can become jammed, or entire door systems can stop working. High-quality fastening materials ensure that all components remain permanently secure and that the resulting forces are reliably dissipated.
Types of fastening materials for gates
Different fastening materials are used for the installation and maintenance of sectional doors and industrial doors:
- Screws & dowels: for concrete, stone or steel substrates.
- Heavy-duty anchors: for industrial doors with high loads.
- Brackets & angles: for stable mounting of rails and roller holders.
- Installation kits: Complete packages with all the necessary parts for sectional doors.
Advantages of high-quality fastening material
- Maximum security: prevents loosening or tearing.
- Long service life: thanks to corrosion protection and material quality.
- Perfect fit: tailored to common gate systems.
- Easy assembly: less time and high precision.
Areas of application
Fastening material is required in all areas:
- Private: sectional garage doors and side doors.
- Industry: heavy sectional and roller doors.
- Logistics: Gates with high opening frequency.
- Modernization: retrofitting and repairs.
Technology & Standards
There are clear specifications for fastening materials:
- EN 13241: Safety of gates and doors.
- DIN standards: specific specifications for screws, dowels and anchors.
- DGUV regulations: regular inspection in commercial operations.
Assembly & Installation
Correct installation is crucial for the function of a gate:
- Check the surface (concrete, masonry, steel).
- Select suitable screws, dowels or anchors.
- Mark the attachment points precisely.
- Screw brackets and rails together using the specified torque.
- Carry out a door test and tighten the fastenings.
Maintenance & Inspection
- Regular visual inspection for rust or loosening.
- Retighten the screws during the service interval.
- Replace damaged fasteners immediately.
- Documentation of tests on industrial doors.
