DOOR FRAME ASSEMBLY
DOOR FRAME ASSEMBLY
Components for each consist of:
2 door-glazing bars (1x handed, 1x unhanded)
3 infill panels
2 top & bottom door panels
From the main bag of fittings you require
2 door wheels
2 clip on nylon door skids
2 lengths of black rubber draught excluder
Self-tapping screws and spring washers
Glazing Beading
1.
Place the two sidebars on a level surface roughly two feet apart with the bolt slots facing downwards. The top of each
sidepiece has two screw holes in it and the bottom has three. (Key Point)
2.
Place the top, bottom and 3 infill panels in position as shown by the position of the screw holes in the sidepieces and the
panels. The top panel has the greenhouse name on it. The bottom panel has the edge for the door skids to fit on. The lower
infill panel locks on to the bottom panel.
3.
Fix the door together by screwing through the door sidepieces into the holes provided in the edge of the panels with the No. 8
half-inch self-tapping screws. DO NOT fix the top left hand side screw yet. The screw will go in more easily and without
danger of trying to go crooked if you can put a small amount of grease on the screw before assembling the doors.
Alternatively, you could insert the screws into the screw eyes of the door panels before assembling the door; this would have
the effect of pre-self tapping the panels prior to assembly, making assembly easier.
4.
Fix the top left hand side with the one-and-a-half inch screw provided. Put the screw through the door catch so that the
serrated part is facing outwards and upwards. Next slip two spring washers on to the screw, and then fix the screw through
the side of the door and into the top panel. (Key point).
5.
Make sure all angles are square and tighten all screws.
6.
Fix each door wheel into position by pushing the bolt provided through the centre of the wheel and then through the hole in the
top door panel from underneath (i.e. from the inside of the door) Put the washer over the bolt and secure with the nut provided,
tighten until there is not movement on the bolt. The nuts are lock nuts and are harder to put on than normal nuts in general
assembly. The wheel will revolve freely because it has ball bearings in it.
7.
Slip the nylon door skids on each end of the bottom panel.
