New! RSC

Why we made RSC Carefully listening to the voice of our customers initiated an upgrading evolution in our garage door hardware systems.

The result is: RSC! Total integrated burglar safety, new click-systems, universality of parts and thermal efficiency. A new flexibility in offering, from “lowest price” up to an extensive line of up-sell and upgrade options. Integrated with the new Liftmaster “Evolution” series garage door openers. RSC is providing specific, optimal solutions to everyone in the garage door sales channel.

The home owner, the actual user of the door, cares strongly about “curb appeal”. How does the door look from the outside? And about personal security, protecting the family against intruders.

Energy efficiency of the door. And worry-free, convenient and safe operation.

The installer wants a safe and easy installation, without hassle and specially needed precautions.

The same parts for different built-in situations. The faster the installation, the more doors can be installed in one day. Increasing his efficiency!

Door dealers demand a clear, unique range of doors in their showroom. With up-selling options available, in order to increase order amount and margin. Short lead times and efficient logistics are without doubt well received at the dealers’ end.

Production, that is, assembling hardware, panels and operators into doors, runs on key-indicators like efficiency, low stock, universal parts, easy configuration and cost calculation. And of course, easy ordering and a reliable supplier.

Although each chain in the channel has specific demands, they all can be categorized into the following “drivers” of any market today:

CONVENIENCE

SECURITY SAFETY

Sharply looking at the mentioned demands, we had to re-think everything in the process.

We did not look at incremental changes, but we designed a complete new system. RSC stands for: Reliable, Secure, Convenient. The system will improve the business of small to midsized door producers. It will make life easier for door dealers. It increases the efficiency of installers significantly. But most important: Home owners will take full advantage of all the features that matter most to them!

That is why we made it!

SECURITY SAFETY

Secure: controlled access

One of the challenges in designing RSC was to create a door system which would provide ultimate security to home owners. As the garage door is an integrated part of their home, the main priority is to prevent intruders entering through the garage door. As an answer to that need, FlexiForce “system-integrated” burglar resistance into the RSC design. End users are not likely to save on security costs, so this is a great sales opportunity for you!

The four main burglar resistant aspects being: • Locking up the top section with a new aluminium, closed top-curve. (1) • Locking up the rollers in a new closed “C” vertical track. (2) • A new bracket for fixation of the vertical track to the floor. (3) • Integrated Liftmaster EVOLUTION power operation with secure rolling code transmitters. (4) • These features make it so much harder to break into a garage door, that RSC really changes the game on garage door security.

A full range of optional products could enhance that even more: • Access control key-pads, wired or wireless • A full range of Euro cylinder locks • LED light bars providing outside orientation. And light in darkness, something burglars are not happy with.

Safe: in installation and daily use

Maybe our highest priority in the R&D process is to provide products that are safe to install, maintain and use. A garage door is a heavy moving object, so safety for us must be a solid condition in RSC. How we achieve that?

• A proven construction by CE life span testing (>30.000 cycles) and long lasting experience in over one million installed garage doors with our systems over the past years.

• Standard, simplified 656S-series spring break device, preventing the heavy door from falling down more than 300mm. With “new click” installation. Safe! (5) • Lifting cable security with at least a safety factor “x 6” on breaking force.

• Lifting cable inside the track, to prevent clamping or getting trapped.

• Roller protection caps to push fingers out of the track before getting crushed.

• Liftmaster EVOLUTION door openers designed to stop and withdraw when an obstacle or person is blocking the door. (4) • Optional SG light-curtains and IR-sensors detecting people or obstacles around the door.

• Preview: Spring tensioning made easy with new TBS-spring tensioning device.

Simply using an electrical drill-bit to bring the springs to the highest tension! (6) Nobody should be in danger during installation, maintenance or daily use of the door. RSC is fully equipped to protect and secure!

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability: being responsible

Today we are all responsible for finding sustainable solutions and applying those, even at sometimes higher costs. In RSC we approached this pragmatically with an obsessive search for material reduction, a choice for recyclable materials, increasing the energy efficiency of the door and looking sharply to the CO2-footprint of the supply chain process of our parts and systems.

Concretely, we reached remarkable results: • Improved thermal values by applying thermal break side-seals, double-flap top seals and high quality bottom seals with optional water weir. (1) (5) • Ready for use of 60mm thick insulated panels resulting of course in a higher insulation class. (2) • Advanced EVOLUTION power operation, closing the door rapidly, preventing massive loss of energy.

• New EVOLUTION series of Liftmaster door openers now integrate LED-lighting and the lowest stand-by power ever: min. 0,5W! (6) • Pass door. Often a pass door is selected for convenience reasons, but minimizing the opening gap of the door of course keeps the warm air in the garage! (3) • Transport efficiency: Parts contain less material, so the transport weight decreases. The new efficient flat-bed packaging allows more sets per truck.

• Supply chain: For over 80% of the RSC system, we came back to Europe for the production and supply of parts. Less transport! (4)

>80% Made in Europe

FlexiForce RSC shows that China is no longer “the promised land” for sourcing hardware products. Over 80% of all parts in RSC are made in Europe. The best solution, looking at: • Cost price. Thanks to our high volumes, we can produce parts on progressive dies, fully automated. Efficient total costs control.

• Transport time and costs. Continuously increasing container rates lead us to sourcing “nearby”.

• Increased flexibility in production capacity and special customer needs.

• More grip on the quality control.

• Sustainability: less transport means a smaller CO2 footprint of the system!

In today’s downturn, it is encouraging to see that with RSC we return business back into our European economies!

CONVENIENCE

Convenience: We like it easy

Convenience translates to “easy”. End user, installer, producer, they all like it when things go without hassle or extra work or difficulties during the supply and installation. We made RSC more efficient. And remarkably easy!

• Trouble free operation of the door, every day, by applying high quality components in an integrated system.

• Opening and closing the power operated door. With a new design hand transmitter. Or with a call from your smart phone. Or now even via an App called MyQ. Total control of the door. (1) • Fast and easy installation. “New Click” systems on shaft suspension and spring break device. (3) (4) • No measuring or marking during track installation, thanks to distance profiles and lintel profiles. (5) • All testing and certification (CE-ITTR) being done for you by FlexiForce.

• Online configuration and ordering with Create software on www.flexiforce.com. (2) • Universality of parts, using the same parts for unlimited door variations. (6) • Outsourcing the complete hardware set production to FlexiForce.

Don’t DIY! • Complete installation support with manuals and instruction movies online. And a personal trainer, if needed.

As you can see, after listening to the needs of consumers, installers and door producers, we have brought a lot of “easy” and convenience into RSC. When you add to that the reliability of FlexiForce as a consistent, experienced (est. 1980) supplier of parts and sets, with warehouses all over Europe, you can conclude that total cost savings and convenience in your supply chain go hand-in-hand.

DESIGN

Design: Finishing touch

“Design is not only what it looks like, design is also how a product is functioning”. For the end users, design of the door is translated into “curb appeal”. That is: looking at your house from the curb. What value does the door add to the appearance of their house. At FlexiForce we know that design, the functioning of the door, is mainly driven by the hardware, inside of the garage door. RSC design serves both sides of the door:

Functional design on the inside of the door: • The construction of RSC, especially the corner where side plate, tracks and lintel come together, is extremely solid. With less material, the construction is so strong that even fixation of the wall consoles to the wall is not always necessary. (1) • Smooth, low noise run of the door powered by EVOLUTION series of door openers, belt driven. Liftmaster came up with an attractive design of both door opener as accessories! (2) • CR-series track connection and covers, professionalizing the inside of the door. (3) • Powder coated panel hardware or even a fully powder coated track system.

The finishing touch!

• Smooth run of the optional tandem rollers over well designed track-connections.

• Functional design of the “new click” systems and distance profiles will make any installer happy.

Appearance based design on the outside of the door. Upgrade with: • A wide variety of windows, personalizing the door. (4) • FullView sections, aluminium profiles (coated in the colour of the door) with any type of glazing. Contemporary design!

• Convenience meets design in the SafeStep pass door system. Minimalistic outside aluminium framing, low threshold, multi-point locking and finger-safety.

• SideStep, a side entrance door in the garage matching the design of the garage door.

• Aluminium decals allow optimal creativity on a personal design on the door.

• A full range of locks and matching grips, nicely designed in various shapes and finishes. (5) • LED-light bars that spread light on the door in the dark hours. Really high-end looks. (6) A large part of the outside of the door is determined by the choice of panel design. We can assure you that FlexiForce partners up with all independent panel suppliers to make sure that our hardware is adding value to their panel. Of course, with all certification in place.

What is RSC?

On the previous pages we explained you “why” we made it and “how” we answer on the different demands. Now we come to the technical specifications: What is RSC?

Technical specifications: • Hardware system for garage doors up to 5.000 x 3.000mm (wxh) or 225kg door weight.

• Three systems depending on the available installation head room: • 160mm : Torsion springs in front, manual/power operation, doors up to 3.000 x 2.500mm (wxh). (1) • 190mm : Torsion springs in front, manual/power operation, doors up to 5.000 x 3.000mm (wxh). (2) • 75mm : Torsion springs in rear, manual (75mm) or power operation (115mm), doors up to 5.000 x 3.000mm (wxh). (3) • Minimal side space: 95mm.

• The track system is universal for springs in front and springs in rear. One system in stock is enough to cover all doors types.

• The RSC system is tested and added to the main FlexiForce Initial Type Testing Report certificate (CE).

Ultimate freedom in market positioning Although we will always recommend you to go “up-market” instead of down in price, you are the expert in positioning doors in your market. RSC provides you with ultimate freedom and flexibility to make the door as cost efficient or as premium as you want it to be. See our up-selling pages where we show you all features and options. Go to our Create online software and you can select flexibly parts and options allowing you to create: Your door.

Freedom in out-sourcing from 0 - 100% Depending on the set-up and skills of your company, on the number of variations and on the number of doors that you sell annually, you can decide to do production of the hardware for your doors “all by yourself” up to “completely by FlexiForce”. Our RSC set-up is incredibly unique in matching exactly to that level of outsourcing that suits your business model.

www.flexiforce.com

For all door sizes, up to 5.000x3.000mm where available head room is really limited, for example in renovation projects, we have designed RSC with the spring system mounted at the end of the horizontal tracks, in the rear. For manual operated doors, a head room of 75mm is feasible. For power operated doors, 115mm is needed. The newly developed track brackets 340S fit onto the horizontal tracks. They connect to 340SL/R base brackets on which, with “new click”, the spring break devices are installed. Connection between the tracks is realized with a strong 50SU C-profile. Easy and fast installation! Again, the horizontal and vertical tracks are identical in all systems. A pulley for guiding the cable to the rear is added to the horizontal track.

SafeStep: Convenient pedestrian entry A pass door is convenient. You do not need to open the full garage door if you only want to walk into the garage. A pass door is also energy efficient. Keeping the temperature in the building by not opening the full door gap. And the pass door itself is, especially in garage doors, a major design factor in the total door.

FlexiForce has developed a state-of-the-art pass door system, SafeStep, which was well received in the European door market. Now we have updated and upgraded the SafeStep even more. Easier

production, easier installation, more effective door height.

A continuously widening range of accessories like push bars, locks, etc In parts or in pre-assembled kits.

Doors < 3.000mm For single garage doors, the low threshold is now combined with a new top reinforcement profile, allowing a maximal pass door height.

INNOVATION THROUGH TRADITION IN DOOR PANELS PRODUCTION

“ To create something genuinely new, you have to start again.

Disconnect from the past”

If you never really change anything, the only engineering you do is kind of incremental. FlexiForce has focussed on coming up with a system designed and engineered from the ground up. Integrating features that matter most to garage door owners, installers and producers.

Meanwhile, Liftmaster started to re-think completely their product approach to the European market. They came up with a game-changing design and performance in garage door openers.

RSC is the best residential hardware system that we have ever made. Add to that the Liftmaster Evolution series and you realize that now FlexiForce customers can take full advantage of the best integrated offering in the market today.

We’d love to explain what this means in practical advantages for you personally.
