Legal Notices
Important Notes for Dealers and Installers Regarding the
"Condition of Garage Doors and Door Operators"
1) As is the case with any installation of automatic garage door operators it is most important that the
doors are in good condition and are working in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. In
other words springs, lifting cables, pivot pins, pulleys, drums, hinges, in fact every component must
be in good working order.
2) The balance of the doors is vitally important. Before installing an automatic door operator, test the
door to make sure that it is properly balanced.
3) If the doors are not in a state of good repair, ........ do not install an operator !
4) If, for any reason, you fit an operator to a door which is dysfunctional or is not in sound mechanical
condition, or may be considered to be operating below the manufacturers specifications, and as a
result thereof persons or property may be injured or damaged, ......
You ! ... the dealer / installer may be held responsible and liable !
5) The responsibility for ensuring that the doors are in a condition which is acceptable for the
installation of automatic garage door operators remains solely with the dealer / installer. If the
dealer and installer are not one and the same, the two may be held liable jointly and severably.
6) The law takes the view that you are the expert and therefore you should know best. You cannot
have the client indemnify you against any damages. This would be contrary to the individuals
"common-law rights". The law, now, is quite clear in this regard.
7) The best policy for all concerned and especially for dealers / installers is simply this:-
Fix the door before you automate it !!!
It's worthwhile doing, besides, it's good for business !

SABS - IEC Standard No. 60335 - 2 - 95

This standard specification is now published and it's impact is being felt far and wide in the door and
gate industry. The most important aspect of this standard is that the minimum levels of safety for door
and gate operators have been set down and all installations are required to conform to this standard.
The responsibility for maintaining the standard is placed squarely on the shoulders of the installers /
dealers, in much the same way as electricians are responsible for the work they do. DIY'ers take note !
If something goes wrong and someone is injured by an automatic garage door or gate and the cause is
deemed to be due to inferior installation procedures or workmanship, or failure to observe the standards
laid down, the blame will fall at the foot of the installer / dealer. The law assumes that if you install
automatic operators to doors or gates, you, the installer / dealer are familiar with the requirements
of this standard and will have satisfied yourself that the installation will comply with every
aspect of the standard. Don't underestimate the seriousness of these standards or the consequences
that may result from any transgression thereof.
Be warned !!! You do so at your own risk !!!
In order to assist dealers and installers Brano Industries, from time-to-time, arranges training
courses covering the installation and maintenance of garage doors and door operators. Contact us for
details of when these courses will be run. It will be the best investment you can make in your business
and your future.
