Hi
I am planning to secure a flat 12mm thick galvanised mild steel plate ( 3000mm long x 170mm wide ) to the concrete floor in my garage.
The edge of the roller door will stop on this plate so it needs to be secured with countersunk screws so that the top face is flush.
The plate will form a threshold at the main door to the garage.
The plate has yet to be manufactured.
Could anyone please recommend how many fixings I should use to secure the plate to the floor ? I planned to space 2 rows out along the length at 0.5m centres.
How far in from the edge would you recommend the fixing holes are drilled in the plate ?
Which size of fixings would you recommend were used ?
In the concrete floor I was thinking about using internal threaded anchors. Could anyone recommend a particular type ?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
