Hey Everyone, Well the design process is underway and we are very busy so I only have time to upload a 3D rendering of what the Bolt On 90 Degree kits will look like, Keep in mind that this design is not final, and the prototype will not have the slots cut in to it as shown. Those were added in just...

Hey,

That is correct, the only difference between the two systems is one comes with the remote, and the other does not. And the Emergency Door Release Cable is a great feature to have.

Thanks,

Hey, We definetly could allow options such as Door Popper kits to be added to the Kits in the group buy. The pricing is as follows: Door Popper Kit with Remote : $150 Door Popper Kit without Remote : $100 These kits come with everything you will need to install the Door Popper Kit. I will post more ...

Hey,

The deposits have been received, let the design process begin.

Thanks,

I agree, the programs have come a long way, and some really impressive things can be done with them. We use AutoCAD for our backing plates and any other 2D parts, then we use Inventor to design all our 3D parts and to make our 3D renderings of our kits.

Hey, Thanks, and every thing will get worked out and then we will get these kits done for everyone. We will definetly be taking pictures and posting them so that everyone can follow along with the progress. And your list is pretty accurate. We will be making a template first of what the kit should l...

Hey, Yes, the 60 Degree is the practical point, unless you have the horizontal motion set to open far, as then you could get out with the door being at a much lower angle. Playing with a stopwatch is a good idea, we prefer to have our customers informed so there are no surprises when they get our pr...

Hey, For the Linear actuator to open the door to the 60 Degree point it requires between 4-5.5 inches of travel. Also, they are not very loud. You will only hear a low hum from the electric motors. The 2/3 of what it takes to get to 90 Degree is close, but the door follows an arc with can throw off ...

Hey,

It is 16 seconds up and 16 second down. That is depending on how high you want the doors to open.

Thanks,

Ok, I have the information about the Linear Actuators and their opening speed.

They open at a rate of 0.5 inches a second so for the 90 Degree Kit to Fully open the 90 Degrees it would take 16 seconds as the stroke needed to open the fully 90 Degrees is 8 inches.

Thanks,

Hey, Just paying the deposit right now is all that is required. The prototype will be ready 2 weeks after all the deposits are it, then the finished products will be ready to ship a week after that. That 3rd week after the deposits have been paid is when the rest of the money is due and we will ship...

Hey, Here are the answers to the questions Tempus asked: That is correct . There is a horizontal adjustment point on the hinge as well as one on the backing plate. The horizontal adjustment point on the backing plate is adjusted to determine how far the door will stick out horizontally when in the v...

Hey,

Yes that is correct, on the 90 Degree you can set how high the doors open vertically and how far the doors open horizontally.

As for the Non-90 Degree Kit, you can only set how far you want it to open horizontally.

Thanks,

Hey,

The doors can open from 0 - 45 Degrees horizontally before they go up. You set how far you want the doors to open horizontally before they go up.

Hey, Question #1 Answer : Yes you are correct in a assuming that. Without the controller the linear actuator will go to the up position and down to the down position. Also, all of the linear actuators come with built in limit switches so once they meet resistance, the linear actuators stop and hold ...
