Guide roller designed to stabilise the lower door leaf

Guide roller 

The guide roller is the element responsible for stabilising the lower edge of the door leaf in the sliding system with OpenUp system patio blinds. It guides the sash in line and prevents it from swivelling, which is particularly important for large or light blinds exposed to wind.

The roller is made of durable nylon - resistant to abrasion and external conditions. Its operation is quiet and smooth and does not scratch the surface of the substrate.

Assembly and use of the guide roller

• The roller can be fitted directly to the substrate (Option 1 in the manual)
• or to the door leaf frame (Variant 2 in the instructions)
• The choice of variant depends on the system configuration adopted - both are described in the installation instructions

What is the roll made of?
The guide roller is made of nylon - weather- and abrasion-resistant.

Can it be fitted to any surface?
Yes, as long as you use the correct mounting kit to suit the substrate (e.g. concrete, wood, composite).
