mot öppningen på

English translation: against the open face of

Swedish term or phrase: mot öppningen på
I can't understand what this sentence (from a catalog of building materials) says:

"Vinkelfäste mot öppningen på pendelskena."

"vinkelfäste" seems to mean "angle bracket", and pendelskena seems to mean "suspension rail" or similar, but what physical position (or motion) is "mot öppningen på" describing?

Thanks

English translation:against the open face of
Explanation:
I've just been working on suspended ceilings, so I recognise the bits! The pendelskena is the rail that the suspension bracket (in this case, presumably the vinkelfäste) fits into.

The rail will have a C-shaped profile or something similar so that the bracket can be slotted into it. So it's just saying that the bracket needs to end up against the open face of the rail, whether that's on the side or the top or whatever.
