OPENING REQUIRED IN WALL

SINGLE DOORWidth Height

The standard system is adaptable for wall thickness from 88 to 102 mm (including plasterboard).

However extensions are available for wider finished wall thicknesses from 113 to 127 mm and on request even wider walls.

If using metal studwork then the opening for the frame needs to be lined with wood (min 40 mm) to allow for the hinge cutouts (see page 8).

It is essential you measure the dimensions x and y BEFORE AND AFTER installation of the frame and they MUST be your door width + 8 mm and your door height + 8 mm. Dimensions +/- 1 mm.

First screw the flush side of the frame to the wall then the opposite side using the screws (n) at 200 mm intervals. Use QUADRUPLE SCREWS at the hinge and corner points. Then double check the frame is still plumb and true, if not adjust until it is.

Use PVA or equivalent on the metal edges that are to be plastered, fit fibre plastering tape all around the frame doubling up over corners and the hinge points and, when the PVA is tacky apply the plaster up to the stop bead. Use metal primer on the remaining metal surface return and when dry it is paint ready.

INSTALLING THE DOOR

INSTALLING YOUR LOCK AND HANDLE

It is most important that you install your lock into the door at the exact height to suit your strike plate. REMEMBER, the adjustment on the hinges is there to adjust slight irregularities of the frame installation and will not compensate for any lock mis-positioning. You are responsible to ensure the lock is installed at the correct position, the adjustable hinges are there only to adjust the door panel relative to the frame.

Use the correct strike plate adaptor for your strike plate, either “v”, “w” or “z”.
