Glass requirements/fittings/mounting
•
The substructure/wall must be able to bear
permanent loads, and be level (max. tolerance:
1/16” [2] per 39” [1m]).
•
Fasteners must be sufficiently dimensioned for the
substructure/wall and weight of the door.
•
When adjusting glass elements, always stick to the
required clearance for the respective hardware.
Adjust clearance so glass does not come in contact
with any hard surfaces such as glass, metal or
concrete.
