OPENING REQUIREMENTS

The door is designed to be mounted behind the opening, 
therefore you will need to measure and check: 

OPENING WIDTH

 - As the door overlaps each side by 

25mm or more, the door should be 50mm wider than the 
opening. A wider door can be fi tted as long as additional 
sideroom and fi xing is available. If the door is too narrow, the 
opening should be reduced by fi tting jambs to the inside of 
the opening (Alternative Fixings No. 1). 

OPENING HEIGHT

 - The door will fi t any opening height 

up to the marked door size (the guides can be cut to suit). 
After installation the walk-in clearance, under the door when 
installed, will be reduced by approximately 80mm to allow 
access to the handle. 

LEVEL AND PLUMB

 - The door must be installed in an 

absolutely level position, if opening is not level and square, 
appearance and/or sideroom requirements will be affected. 
Where jambs are out of plumb, extra sideroom or opening 
modifi cations may be required to allow the door guides to 
stand back from the opening edge. The fl oor should be level 
or recessed across the opening to avoid gaps. 

STRUCTURAL SUITABILITY

 - Ensure the opening is strong 

enough to support the door. If unsure, consult builder or 
professional door installer.
