When the door is slotted into the baseplate, you will need to
sink the top pin back into the door sash to secure it in place.
- Removing the top outside gasket will give you better
visibility of the top pin.

- Bring the top pin in line with the opening on the sash and
screw the top pin into place until the top pin retracting
screw is fully wound back into place

- Carefully close the door against the frame and align the door
sash with the frame and check the shadow joint around the
door/frame junctions as this should be equal all the way
around with a 6mm gap (+/– 1mm). The door should close
and lock should engage without undue force. If the door is
mis-aligned or proud at any point, the frame may be twisted
and should be realigned before proceeding further.
- Check that the bottom of the door seals meet the threshold
to give a weatherproof seal.
- If necessary, adjust the position of the door with the
levelling screw that is located on the pivot side of the sash,
underneath the gasket. You will need to insert an extra long
flat head screw driver into the side of the door sash to reach
this screw.

PLEASE BE AWARE:
You
MUST
remove/unwind the top
pin and tilt the sash onto its side when making the levelling
adjustment. Otherwise the full weight of the sash will have to
be moved by the levelling screw. Failing to do this will result
in permanent damage to the mechanism and a costly remake
sash could be required. Adjusting the screw clockwise will
lift the corner of the lock side, spinning the screw counter
clockwise will lower the sash corner.

Once the door is operating satisfactorily, seal the gap between
perimeter of the frame and the wall. Depending on the gap size
use either pre-formed sealant material (Compriband or similar),
silicone sealant or low expansion foam sealant. Always keep
the door in the closed position until the sealant has fully cured
to avoid any movement in the frame.
