IMPORTANT
If installing double doors skip this step.
Cut some C16 timber stud (
70mm x 45mm
)
to the height of the structural opening.
Cut noggins at
26mm thick
. Space at a
maximum of 500mm centres and fix to the
strike as per the drawing.
Using a laser level, fit the head channel to the top
stud with
Head Channel
screws.
IMPORTANT
It is important to ensure the Head channel is level with no
bends or bows. If the top stud is not straight then pack the
head channel out with packers to maintain level.

The 70mm gap and the kettle lead port should be
at the strike end of the pocket.
Double doors
For double ensure the kettle lead ports are facing
each other in the centre of the opening and with
100mm gap between the tracks.
