Door installation
The elements should be placed in the door
cavity and wedged up underneath the side-
frames and mullions, if any. The sill should
be horizontal and level. It must not un-
der any circumstances curve upwards or
downwards.
Adjust the hinge side so it is in plumb on
both the wide and the narrow side. The hin-
ge side is then secured with suitable frame
bolts with permanent support.
On doors, the fixings in the
hinge side must be placed in the
rebate as close to the hinges as
possible, as the entire weight of the
door is centred here. We recommend
this solution if possible – if not, se-
curing with suitable ironmongery
will be necessary.
During installation, the gap, i.e. the space
between the frame and sash, should be
adapted to the function of the element. The
closing side must be adjusted so that it fits
the frame and provides full closure.
When installing double doors it is important
that the doors close fully in the centre joint
and that the two door plates are flush. The
frame head must not curve downwards!
When the frame has been adjusted, secure
the rest of the elements with suitable frame
bolts with permanent support.
Sideframes and head and sill on double
doors must be parallel and must not curve
inwards, as this will make operation diffi-
cult.
When the installation is complete, remove
the dust from the frame and ironmongery.
Lubricate all closing points and joints for
smooth and permanent function. We re-
commend brushing the weatherstrips with
a silicone stick.
Fixing should be with perma-
nent support, and an additional
permanent support should be
placed behind the striking plate in or-
der to prevent burglaries. Always in-
stall extra permanent supports below
hardwood and aluminium sills.
