Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct orientation of the metal bar on Alligator® Lacing? Top or bottom of belt?
Alligator® Lacing is always placed with the bar side positioned on the top side of the belt. If you are installing the lacing using one of our Roll Carriage Machines, you would install size #1 Alligator Lacing with the bar side down but also flip the belt over so that the top of the belt is against the lacing with the bar. Installation using our Hammer Block Machines is performed by positioning the bar side and top of the belt up. Installation by hand involves flipping the belt over several times, but is performed with the bar side on the top side of the belt.
