Before you
get started...
INSPECT FOR DEFECTS PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY. Wedges may be either similar or different lengths. You must compare the assembly
wedge lengths to the depth/length of the wedge routes in the frame corner.
Assembly wedges are installed with the flat end face-
up. When applying glue, it should be spread evenly so the entire cut end of
each 45 degree piece is coated. Wedges must be installed
before glue dries. A damp rag will clean off glue that may have gotten onto the front of the frame. Allow at least three hours to dry.
If the back of the frame profile is not level when the assembly wedges are installed, it will create a gap in the front of the frame. A
door stop or washcloth placed under the corner of the two frame pieces will level the frame for installation of the assembly wedges.
This is not necessary for relatively flat profiles.
step
One
Locate assembly hardware
attached to frame packaging.
You will find glue, wedges,
corner guides,
double-sided adhesive squares
and mirror
clips (if applicable).
Match the length of
assembly wedges to the depth of the routes.
step
Three
Choose a corner and apply glue to both
pieces. With both glued pieces face down,
press glued corners together. Depending on
the profile, a door stop or washcloth may be
needed to level the frame.
step
Four
Hold the two corner pieces level
and in place. Insert both
assembly wedges into the
correct route -
so that the flat end
is face-up. Tap
the frame wedges
flush with the back of the frame.
Repeat for all corners.
step
Two
Before assembly, inspect
the frame pieces for
defects. Lay the four pieces
face down.
step
Five
Turn over and inspect all
corners. Wipe off excess glue
with a damp cloth. Before the
glue dries, if necessary, adjust
the corners. One frame side
may be higher than the other.
