The Company will if requested provide drawings and specificaions showing the site requirements for the goods based on normal requirements in a suitable location, but does not thereby warrant that the site as prepared by the Customer will be suitable or satisfactorily prepared. The quotation is based on the assumption that ample side room and head room will be available for installation of the door.

If site conditions do not allow for these mounting facilities, it is the responsibility of the Customer to advise the Company prior to installation so that alternate arrangements can be made for lifting and the quoted price can be adjusted accordingly.
  5. For the purpose of installation work, it will be necessary for a 240 volt power supply to be available in the near vicinity of the opening to facilitate welding and the use of power tools where applicable.
