EASY STEPS TO SWAP YOUR ROLLER DOOR FOR A STACKER

Remove your old garage door and install a new sliding stacker to let in the light and bring the outdoors in.

Gather your supplies

• 70 x 45mm H3 treated pine framing

• 100mm flashing

• 2145 x 2700mm stacking aluminium sliding door kit

• 8g x 32mm black button head screws

• Sliding patio door lock

You’ll also need

Drill with various bits; tie-down straps; ladder; tape measure; pencil; mitre saw; reciprocating saw; nail gun with framing nails; snips; level; packers; screwdriver

For you to note

• Moving a roller door is heavy and is a two-person job. Secure tie-down straps around drum, then continue to wind it in the opening direction a few times to release the tension before removing fasteners.

• Seek professional advice before attempting to remove structural walls.

• Sliding stacker door kits are supplied flatpacked and ready to assemble.
