4. Re-sealing worked edges and staining
If it is necessary to cut, plane or sand a
door for any reason, it is essential that the
worked edges are immediately re-sealed
with a primer, basecoat and topcoat. Failure
to do so will invalidate the guarantee.
5. Cleaning
Should any surface require cleaning after
installation is complete, use a damp cloth or
mild soapy water. Do not use any industrial
or abrasive cleaners.
6. Ironmongery Fixing
To minimise risk of damage and for ease of
handling, some items of ironmongery for
this doorset may be delivered loose. This
may include the door handles, security
chain, lock cylinder and cylinder guard.
6a. Door Locks
Premdor doorsets are fitted with a three
point espagnolette lock system that can
be used for either “solid” or “split” mode of
operation.
See instructions enclosed with the handles.
In the “split” spindle mode, entry can only
be gained from the outside by using a
key. The handle only opens the door from
the inside.
Please ensure that you chose the correct
mode of operation to meet the local
regulations.
6b. Lock Cylinder
The lock cylinder is supplied loose and
needs to be carefully located and fixed into
the factory fitted lock case. For Secured by
Design the cylinder guard, supplied loose,
must be fitted. See instructions enclosed
with the cylinder and cylinder guard (Lock
& Latch Fitting Guide).
6c. Door Handles
Identify the exterior handle – this is the
handle with no screw holes.
Before fixing ensure that the correct latch
spindle is inserted (See note 6a Door
Locks - ‘solid’ or ‘split’ spindle.)
To fix handles locate one handle into
position aligning it accurately with the lock
cylinder and latch Spindle. Position the
other handle. Ensure that the handles
are vertically positioned and not distorting
either the cylinder or spindle. Once the
handles are in position, pass the two
handle fixing screws through the inner
handle face plate into the pre drilled
holes in the door face. Thread the screws
through and tighten them both in to the
outer handle, until the handles are drawn
tightly up on to the door.
When not in use,
simply hang the free
end of the chain
over the bracket
hook.

i) Position the chainholder angled
bracket at the *desired height on the
inside door face. Inset it 20mm from
the closing edge of the door.
* The recommended position is 700mm
down from the top of the door. Ensure that
it is located squarely and mark the four
screw fixing points through the bracket.
At the screw points drill pilot holes then fix
firmly using the screws provided.
iii) To use the security chain: when the door
is closed, simply slide the flat link in the
chain into the door angle bracket and
thread the chain through. Remove in the
same way.
ii) Position and fix the chain holder on
to the door frame adjacent to the
angle bracket, using the two screws
provided. Before fixing, hook one of
the chain end rings behind the holder
bracket and then screw the holder
firmly back.
