A standard tambour door kit in stainless steel effect finish.
Suitable for 1210x500mm unit made from 18mm board. Minimum vertical space required for the tambour roller is 190mm.
General Information : -
Tambour doors (also known as 'appliance
garages') are increasingly popular in modern
styled kitchens. The components supplied
with the tambour doors are made to suit
carcases made from 18mm thick board. They
are available in various sizes, finishes and
designs (vertical or horizontal opening and
standard or deluxe options)
A standard tambour door simply fits within the
carcase and has a fascia piece on the top
edge (vertical) or side edges (horizontal). A
deluxe tambour door features a face fix frame
that conceals the carcase edges.
All vertical opening tambours have a patented
balanced spring roller mechanism which
gives a smooth operation and stops the door
safely in any position. This unique roller
system has been tested to BS5459 Part 3 -
severe rating (50,000 cycles). Side opening
tambours run along a guide track on the
inside of the cabinet.
All tambour door packs include a
comprehensive colour installation guide and
template.
For vertical tambours an internal cabinet
depth of 260mm is required, although by
adjusting the position of the roller it can be
used in applications with a reduced depth.
The slats are removable for variable heights
(the tape should be peeled back, slats
removed and then the tape re-applied).
Please note that if too many slats are
removed it will affect the performance of the
roller system. The width of the tambour
system is not adjustable.
Trouble Shooting - See Below
1) Tambour hard to pull down/close: -
. Correct tension? - half turn only required.
. Are tracks lubricated? - smear with
petroleum jelly.
. Ensure there are no obstructions (e.g.
protruding screws).
. Ensure front idler roller is rotating freely.
2) Tambour drops easily or shoots back up: -

allowed to unroll then it will have to be taken
out, re-rolled and step 9 of instruction leaflet
repeated.
4) Loud clicking noise when Tambour is
pulled down: -
. Ensure no screws are protruding.
. Ensure tambour is not catching on tracks at
top (both sides).
5) Tracks or fascia too short/long.
