DOOR FRAME ASSEMBLY
Follow the procedure below for each door.
Components consist of:
2 door glazing bars for each door (1 handed, 1 unhanded)
(handed posts of each door meet in the middle)
3 infill panels
2 top and bottom door panels
From the main bag of fittings you require for each door :
2 door wheels
2 clip on nylon door skids
1 length of black rubber draft excluder
12’ glazing beading and self tapping screws
BEWARE OF SHARP EDGES
1. Place the two door glazing bars on a level surface roughly 12” (305mm) apart with the bolt
slots facing downwards. The top of each side piece has two screw holes in it, the bottom has three.
(Key point).
2.
Looking at the handed door posts in profile with the 2 holes at the top (3 holes at the bottom)
the open box part of the section goes to the outside i.e. on right hand door – left hand upright, on
left hand door – right hand upright.
3.
Slide glazing beading into the channels of the glazing bars, apart from the outside channels of
the two outer bars.
4.
Place the top, bottom and 3 infill panels in position as shown, lining up the screw holes in the
side pieces and panels. The top panel has the greenhouse name on it. The bottom panel has the edge
for the door skids to fit on. The lower infill panel locks on to the bottom panel.
5.
Fix the door together by screwing through the door side pieces into the holes provided in the
edge of the panels with the self-tapping screws. The screws will go in more easily and without dan-
ger of trying to go crooked if you can put a small about of grease on the screw before assembling
the doors. Alternatively, you could insert the screws into the screw eyes of the door panels before
assembling the door, this would have the effect of pre-self tapping the panels prior to the assembly
making assembly easier.
6.
Make sure all angles are square and tighten all screws.
7.
Fix each door wheel into position by pushing the bolt provided through the centre of the
wheel and then through the hole in the top door panel from underneath (i.e. from the inside of the
door). Put the washer over the bolt and secure with the nut provided, tightening until there is no
movement on the bolt. The nuts are lock-nuts and are harder to put on than the normal nuts in gen-
eral assembly. The wheel will revolve freely because it has ball bearings in it. The door wheels
have a shoulder in the middle that protrudes on one side. The shoulder, when fitted to the door goes
against the inside edge of the top door panel.
8.
Slip the nylon door skids on each end of the bottom panel.
