9mm open end adjustable nut

RECOMMENDED TOOLSIn addition to standard fitting tools, 4mm and 5mm allen key, Laser Level, PVC Mallet, Glazing Shovel, 9mm Open Spanner for 3D hinge adjustment when fitted in a tight reveal.

INSTALLATION OF FRAMESThe frame is supplied in 4 pieces, 1 top and 1 bottom track (aluminium) with PVC clad and two door jambs (PVCu). These sections are end milled to fit the profile of the top and bottom track perfectly. It is recommended that the frame be assembled in an area close to the opening. It is essential that the frame is assembled and installed plumb and square in the opening without twist or distortion of any member and that the base track is fitted level and supported along its entire length [Fig 1]. Check for any ‘low’ spots or dips which may have occurred when fixing the bottom track to the substrate. It is particularly important to ensure the track is supported along its entire length to ensure this does not occur as it can cause the doors to misalign. Adjustable corner cleats are tightened using a 4mm allen key. The cleats are to be located in the channel nearest the PVC clad on the aluminium top and bottom track [Fig2]. The doors slide on the bottom track and operate most effectively on a level track. It is recommended that a laser level be used to ensure the track is correctly aligned. No fixings should be attached via the front channel where the wheels and

magnets run. The ‘free’ channel to the side with the PVC fascia should be used for fixing. The ends of he top and bottom track should be sealed with silicone where they are exposed to the brickwork or substrate of the opening.

FIXINGSIt is recommended that suitable frame fixings penetrate 40mm into plugged holes, in brick, block or masonry or at least 25mm into timber sub frames. Corner jamb fixings should be between 100mm and 150mm from the external corner. No fixings should be less than 100mm from the center line of a mullion or transom. Intermediate fixings should be at centers no greater than 600mm.

There should be a minimum of two fixings on each jamb. The aluminium interlock which is fitted to the door jamb should be removed prior to installation and refitted once the frame is plumb and square in the opening. It is recommended that fixings on the base track are siliconed to prevent seepage into the brick work. Please

also note that the base track should be face drained only. Installation packers should be used adjacent to fixing positions to prevent outer frame distortion during installation. Installation packers should be resistant to compression, rot and corrosion. They should span the full depth of the outer frame. The fixings should be tightened so that the frame is held securely against the packers. Over-tightening can lead to distortion and should be avoided.

Ensure cill end caps (where required) are fitted prior to leveling and fixing top and bottom tracks. As a check the diagonals

should be measured and be identical before commencing installation of the doors.

Wherever practicable, an insulating fill should be inserted or injected around the full perimeter of the frame, between the frame and the structural opening. Any such insulation should be sufficiently flexible that does not interfere with any expansion and contraction of the frame. Perimeter joints should be sealed on both the outside and the inside, with an appropriate sealant.

(Minimum 2 washers per pin) an additional washer can be fitted or removed if the door requires adjustment. Once located the sash should be fixed with at least two screws. The door sash is then offered to the top bracket, the top two holes are pre-drilled. The door sash is then fixed with two 70mm wood screws [provided] for the top two fixings and four 25mm self cutting screws for the other four holes (Fig 9). Ensure when the door sash is offered to the bracket that the top two holes are aligned with the pilot holes on the mullion end cap. This will ensure the door is being fixed at the optimum operating height. If not, the bracket can be adjusted by rotating prior to fixing to the sash. Once aligned properly with the piloted holes the fixings can then be applied. The ball catch has a height adjustment nut located on the bottom of the ball catch [Fig 9.1]. (When fitting the door this should be adjusted to the correct height to ensure the door sash locates positively into the door frame without excess interference between the ball catch and the frame). It is advisable to fit both the ball catch and the top guide pin after glazing the doors to ensure they are in the correct position for operation.

The door can then be returned to the frame and pushed along the track. The next door can then be fitted in the same way. Bridging packers are supplied with the kits, glazing packers are to be fitted along with these to ensure the doors are correctly glazed and are packed square for sliding sashes and toed and heeled for the master or traffic door (See Fig 10) to ensure the doors remain square and level. Packers used to toe and heel the doors should not obstruct any drainage holes. The first hinged door should be adjusted after all doors are glazed and operational to ensure it can operate effectively and can be locked against the first sliding door sash.

A euro groove trim is supplied to cover inside ‘fixing’ channel on top and bottom track. This should be fitted last and will require the lugs on the reverse of the trim to be notched over the fixing cleats at either end of the tracks

After installing and glazing the sliding panels the top guide pins should be aligned to pass through the notch in the top track. It is recommended that the pin be positioned to allow it to pass through the notch without interference. Should the height of the pin require adjustment, remove the housing and release the hex head machine screw in the bottom of the housing. There are two washers fitted below the pin as standard, these can be removed one at a time to adjust the height of the pin. Replace the screw and tighten. After the height of the pin is set both screws should be fixed [As shown in Fig 6].

It is recommended that the first sliding door sash to be fitted should be the sash furthest from the traffic door, then working consecutively towards the traffic door. The sliding sash next to the traffic door has the keep for the main door lock attached and should be the final sliding sash fitted.

The brackets which support the doors are fitted to the bottom of the sash. The corresponding top bracket is fitted to the magnet in the top track [Fig 7]. The door sash bottom bracket hole is offered to the roller housing and located over the steel pin [Fig 8]. The door must be fitted at 90 degrees to the track, in the prepped area on the bottom track, and pushed down firmly past the plate ensuring a minimum of two washers are in place on the pin prior to fitting the sash. The stainless plate must NOT be removed from the wheel housing, the screws cannot be reattached to the housing if removed. It is essential the steel plate on top of the wheel housing faces away from the door in the sliding position [As shown in Fig 8].

INSTALLATION OF DOORS

Traffic doors [doors hinged to the door jamb] should be fitted first. Adjustable hinges are fitted and these can be adjusted as shown below to ensure the door is square and plumb in the frame [Fig 3].

Traffic Door Restrictor to be fitted to the ‘traffic door’ as shown in figure 4 and 5. The frame portion of the restrictor should be located 20mm from the corner between the door jamb and bottom track [see Fig 4]. The sash portion should be located 100mm from the corner of the euro groove on the bottom of the door sash [see Fig 5].

NORMAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The sliding pivot doors are easily operated. To open, slide the sash towards the hinged ‘traffic’ door until the magnets in the top tracks engage. This will lift the toe of the sash clear of the bottom track allowing the door to pivot to the fully open position. To close, return the sash to the frame ensuring the door is positioned directly above and parallel to the bottom track. Gently pull the sash away from the traffic door to disengage the magnet and slide the door along the track.

It is recommended that both hands are used to open and close the door. With your hands located on each side of the panel it is easier to engage the door to the magnet in the top track. Similarly when disengaging the door to slide it into the track, locate your hand nearest the magnet side of the door higher to make the disengagement easier, as shown.

SUMMER AND WINTER SCREWS

Should your doors require adjusting to compensate for expansion in warm summer months or contraction in cooler months, simply use a small slotted screw driver to adjust the screws on the aluminium interlocks between your sliding door panels. There are two screws on each sliding door panel and can be adjusted by up to 2mm per panel.

Alternatively, grip the side of the door panel, with both hands and gently pull away from the door frame side to disengage the magnets. Please ensure that the door is positioned correctly against the top and bottom track before disengaging.
