Preparation
1
Remove old material.
Completely remove any old seals, stickers or warning tape.
2
Clean the surface.
Dust and grease free. This is the only way the magnetic surface will adhere securely.
3
Take measurements.
Doors: door leaf width · Gates: section/slat width · Ramps: complete joint, at the back between hinges.
4
Mark out and cut cleanly.
Mark with an angle and cut precisely with sharp scissors/tin snips.
5
Check the surface.
Magnetic? If not, use the SMB100 adapter band .
Doors (steel, wood, plastic, aluminum) – PedDoorMag
Ideal for steel doors: PedDoorMag seals . They contain a special rodent-protection fabric, adhere magnetically, and require no drilling.
Important: The sealant will not adhere directly to wood, plastic, or aluminum . Use the SMB100 adapter tape instead.
Assembly in 3 steps
1
Cut to length, deburr edges.
2
Place flush at the bottom and press down without any waves .
3
Close door, check seat and passage.
Sectional doors – MagSeal & DoorMag
With stainless steel mesh —extra robust against rodents. Magnetic mounting, can be shortened.
No metal? The MagAdapter SMB100 ensures adhesion to non-metallic panels.
Installation on gates
1
Open the gate, expose the bottom edge and clean it.
2
Cut exactly to the section/slat width.
3
Starting from one side, lay it flat and press down continuously.
4
Function test: close, check operation; re-learn peak force for drive.
