dimensions in mm

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).

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.

FIXING THE FRAME TO THE WALL

After installing the frame insert the screws (m) above and below the
hinge positions being careful not to tighten too much, the frame should
not be bent or warp by this action.

FIXING THE FRAME TO THE WALL

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 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.
