Utilize a stud finder to locate any electrical wiring behind the wall to avoid accidental damage during drilling.

Installation Process

• Securing the Box: Employ appropriate screws and wall plugs to securely fasten the roller shutter box to the wall.

2. Installing the Guide Rails 

• Rail Measurement and Cutting (if necessary): In some instances, the guide rails may need to be cut to precisely match the height of your opening. Double-check measurements before cutting.

• Rail Positioning: Place the guide rails on either side of the opening, ensuring they are perfectly vertical. Utilize a level for verification. Mark the drilling points for the screws that will secure the guide rails.
