Wind-O-Wood Sectional Doors – Golden Oak & Mahogany woodgrain

Wind-O-Wood doors are individually handcrafted. Someminor marks and blemishes may remain after thisprocess and are not considered a defect. As with naturaltimber, there is likely to be differences in colour shadebetween doors and even within a given door. Viewingdoors at a distance of four metres, in natural daylight,not direct sunlight, will give the proper perspective ofthe overall finish. Doors are white on the inside. Wind-O-Wood doors are designed to complement wood-lookPVC windows, but since there are multiplemanufacturers of this style of window, our doors areunlikely to be an exact match to your windows.

The rich look of wood and the durability of steel. All of oursectional door models can be ordered with this uniquehandcrafted finish in either Golden Oak or Mahogany.

Caring for and operating your new GDS door

OperationSectional and roller doors open vertically along steel guides.Always keep the opening area of the door clear! Whenoperating the door, always be certain that there are no people,especially children or objects close to the door.

When manually operating doors, only raise and lower the doorusing the lift handles installed for this purpose; these ensure aneasy, controlled and smooth action. Improper use could resultin injury or worse. When locking the door, make sure that thedual lock bars engage securely.

With automated doors, only open and close the door usingthe control devices included with the opener.

If the door is to be automated, matching your door with a GDS electric operator is the best way to ensure fullcompliance with the Machinery Directive. If anothermanufacturer’s operator must be used, always consider any compatibility/compliance issues.

CleaningYour door should be washed with a mild car shampoo at leastevery 3 months to prevent the build up of dirt, salt and othercorrosive substances and help maintain the aestheticappearance of your door.

If the door is installed within 2 miles of the sea, your doorshould be cleaned in this way monthly.

We also suggest that all other components be brushed downon a regular basis to prevent the build up of dirt and dust etc.GDS “Super Lube” should be used on a regular basis to keepsectional doors lubricated. A good quality furniture polish, suchas “Mr. Sheen” can be used to lubricate the guides on rollerdoors. Oil/grease should never be used.

MaintenanceIf in doubt about caring for your GDS door, always consult with a GDS specialist. The GDS factory-trained specialist will be able to offer you a regular maintenance service on yourgarage door. Please ring GDS or refer to our website:www.gdsdoors.eu for further information.

At least once a year have a GDS factory-trained specialistcheck the door to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Do not oil the lock cylinder, only lubricate with graphite dust orGDS Super Lube.

FinishThe coating process applied to your door curtain or sections isenvironmentally friendly. Minor scratches or marks are notcovered under the conditions of our warranty and should berepaired immediately to prevent corrosion and deterioration ofthe panel. Doors should be inspected upon delivery from adistance of 4 meters to view their overall appearance. Thismust be done in natural daylight (not direct sunlight). Corrosivesubstances such as swarf, filings, acids, alkalines, bird droppingsand salts, etc. should be cleaned from the door immediately;failure to do so will not be covered under our warranty. Rustcaused by swarf, filings or other airborne particles are notconsidered as panel rust. To paint your door, please contactGDS for instructions or visit our website: www.gdsdoors.eu

Locking Roller DoorsImportant! Never leave the key in your roller doorlock as it will hit the lintel and break off in thecylinder as the door rises.

To lock, the key is inserted horizontally into the cylinder, turnanti-clockwise to lock. The key must be returned to horizontalposition to remove from the cylinder. From the locked position,the key is inserted horizontally and is turned clockwise to thevertical position to unlock the door. Always return the key tohorizontal position to remove from the cylinder. Somedownward pressure on the door may be required to allow thelock bars to fully engage or disengage from the door guides. Byturning the internal locking disc, it is possible to lock and unlockthe door from the inside without using the key.

Sectional DoorsIf the key is turned completely, the door is then locked orunlocked: when unlocked it is then possible to open and closethe door by turning the handle.

When the door is locked to access from the outside, the keyshould be turned 180 degrees anti-clockwise to unlock. To lock,the key needs to be turned 180 degrees clockwise.

By pressing the release button on the interior handle, it ispossible to lock and unlock the door from the inside withoutusing the key.
