5. Funtzionamendu-printzipioak

The Hormann Gliding Piece is integral to the smooth operation of your sectional door, particularly for its folding roller holder and ventilation functions.

• Folding Roller Holder: This component guides the door rollers along the track, allowing the door sections to fold and unfold smoothly as the door opens and closes. The gliding piece ensures the rollers maintain proper alignment and reduces friction.
• Ventilation Position: For doors equipped with a ventilation feature, the gliding piece plays a role in holding the door slightly ajar in a specific position to allow air circulation without fully opening the door. This is achieved by the roller engaging with a specific part of the gliding piece.

After installation, manually operate the door a few times to ensure all components move freely and without obstruction. Listen for any unusual noises and observe the door's movement for smoothness.
