5. Arahan Operasi
The Vestil DR-LOCK operates automatically to secure the door and is released manually.
5.1 Mengunci Pintu
- In Closed Position: When the overhead door is fully closed, the DR-LOCK automatically engages, preventing the door from being opened unexpectedly.
- In Elevated Position: As the overhead door is raised, the spring-loaded latch will automatically engage with any mounted locking plate it encounters. This secures the door in that specific elevated position, preventing it from falling down.
5.2 Perkaitanasing the Lock
To release the lock and allow the door to move:
- Locate the pull rope attached to the DR-LOCK assembly.
- Firmly pull the rope. This action retracts the spring-loaded locking latch from the engaged locking plate.
- While holding the rope, carefully raise or lower the door past the locking plate.
- Once the door has moved past the plate, you may release the rope. The latch will return to its ready position.
