2.4 FITTING PFT & PFI REINFORCING

Some pFT & pFI doors and all b&D Storm-Shield

are supplied with double end stiles and extended wheels,

REINFORCEMENT PLACEMENT
The reinforcement is generally fixed across the centre of
the panel. However there are three situations that require
alternative placement. The top panel with automatic opener,
the top panel with windows, the locking panel when a lock is to
be installed.
If a lock is to be fitted it generally straddles the centre of the
panel so the reinforcement has to be offset to allow clearance
for the installation and operation of the lock.
Fit the top panel reinforcing as high as possible when windows
and automatic openers are fitted (refer detail below).
It is important to secure reinforcing with 2 screws per stile.
