2.12 FIXING ALTERNATIVES
1. ALTERNATIVE GUIDE FITTING
a) Exact opening size: Door over laps 25mm each side.
b) Door is too wide: The guides can be set back inside from
the opening edge.
c) Door is too narrow: Reduce opening with quad or suitable
timber ensuring that back of opening surface remains fl ush.
3. ALTERNATIVE BRACKET FITTING
An “A2”extended leg bracket should be used in conjunction
with the standard “A” style bracket-under the following
circumstances:
a) If brickwork is old, or in any way suspect.
b) If fl oater bricks are present, but sound fi xing lower down the
brickwork is available.
c) When fi xing to honeycomb or semi-hollow bricks.
d) Where RSJ interferes with “A” bracket.
NOTE:
Where old brick work with lime mortar is encountered,
or any doubt exists as to the holding power of the masonry
work, a timber frame, which continues above the head for
bracket fi xing, should be fi tted on the back surface of the
opening.
When fi xing brackets to timber, the heavier coach screws
supplied are usually adequate. In some cases, especially where
timber is very soft, old or insecure, coach bolts should be used.
