For the construction of this frame you require from the box:
1 pack of corner bars – marked "corner bars"
1 door end pack – marked "door end"
From the main bag of fittings, you need: nuts and bolts, glazing beading and gusset plates – 1 large (ridge plate), 2 small (eave
plates)
The door end contains the cill and main door track support.
The apex gusset plate has a 5
The horizontal and diagonal Angle braces are a little thicker and are made from unequal angle.
PROCEDURE
The format of the door end is identical to the rear end assembly up to and including step 13 so please refer to those items in the
previous pages.
1. For step 14. Slide 4 extra bolts into each vertical glazing bar.
2. The long horizontal brace is replaced by 2 shorter ones that attach to the upper bolt of the gusset plate but stop at the longer
middle bars to facilitate the doorway.
3. There are 2 additional short horizontal braces that attach to the 2 shorter vertical glazing bars at a point immediately above
where the diagonal angle bolts to the bar, then to the longer intermediate bars horizontally along which thus ensures the
doorway remains well braced and perpendicular.
4. The main door track support can now be fitted at a point half way between the horizontal angle and the corner bar. It is
important to note that the 2 slotted holes at the extremes of this section are facing upwards and not downwards. (Key
point). Do not fit the top door track or the short glazing bar above the door opening at this stage
5. Check that all joints are tight and all braces are in position, and then tighten up all nuts. The end is now complete.
