Technical Features and Build

The Renlita Foldaway door is architecturally specified as a vertically opening, suitably trussed two-leaf door, hinged horizontally, and is capable of moving in vertical guide channels fixed to each side of the door opening.

Link Arms and Pulley System

The door is connected to suitable counterweights through a medium of flexible steel cable moving over a pulley system fitted to the guide channels.

Link arms are fitted to the upper leaf of the door on each side with one end pivoted on the door and the other end pivoted on the guide channel, so that the door closes upright and when open, folds horizontally under the lintel.

The door is finely counterbalanced and is in constant suspension, and does not slam upwards when opening or crash downwards when closing.

System and Power

Electrically operated doors shall be as above described, but incorporating a 3-phase x 415V continuously-rated drive unit with thermal overload protection, push-button controls and manual chain operation facilities.

Power is transmitted onto a horizontal drive shaft, which in turn activates the drive-slides located at each of the guide channels.

The drive-slides act on the drive-cams installed at each side of the door and are synchronised so that the door operates horizontally level at all times.
