Seam Opener In Use

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you remove a damaged standing seam metal roof panel?

The DachFreunde Cordless Seam Opener is designed to quickly open mechanically locked standing seam roofing so damaged panels can be removed and replaced. The tool travels along the seam using a stable roller guide, opening the lock without damaging the surrounding metal panels. This makes it especially useful for standing seam roof repairs and panel replacement.

Can the DachFreunde Cordless Seam Opener open double-lock standing seams?

Yes. The DachFreunde Cordless Seam Opener opens 1’ double-lock mechanical standing seams in two passes. The first pass opens the double lock, and the second pass opens the remaining single lock, allowing the metal roofing panel to be removed.

What metal thickness can the DachFreunde Cordless Seam Opener handle?

The DachFreunde Cordless Seam Opener is designed for 1-inch mechanical lock standing seam panels and can be used on steel up to 26 gauge. It is not recommended for 24-gauge steel. Always confirm your panel profile and material thickness before using the seam opener.

Does the DachFreund Cordless Seam Opener work on 1.5 or 2” panels?

1.5” – At the moment, the stabilizing wheels are specifically designed to allow the opening dies to work on 1”. We are working on getting a 1.5” wheel set.

2” – No. The die sets are not made to the 2” panel dimensions. This tool will not work with 2” panels.
