Your new FIRMADOOR
has been designed to provide security, attractive appearance and smooth, low effort operation.
®
Your door will not provide optimum performance unless it is installed correctly.
Please follow the instructions carefully.
WARNING: No guarantee will be given or responsibility accepted by the manufacturer if the door is not installed as instructed.
For satisfactory door operation please follow the instructions carefully.
WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK AT BEFORE STARTING
OPENING REQUIREMENTS
HEAD ROOM 350mm
The door is designed to be mounted behind the opening, therefore
you will need to measure and check:
OPENING WIDTH - As the door overlaps each side by 25 mm or
more, the door should be 50 mm wider than the opening. A wider
door can be fitted as long as additional side room and fixing is
available. If the door is too narrow, the opening should be reduced
by fitting jambs to the inside of the opening ( Alternative Fixings No
1 ).
OPENING HEIGHT - The door will fit any opening height up to
the marked door size (the guides can be cut to suit). After
installation the walk-in clearance, under the door when installed,
will be reduced by approximately 80 mm.
LEVEL AND PLUMB - The door must be installed in an
absolutely level condition, if opening is not level and square,
appearance and/or sideroom requirements will be affected. Where
jambs are out of plumb, extra sideroom or opening modifications
may be required to allow the door guides to stand back from the
opening edge. The floor should be level or recessed across the
opening to avoid gaps.
STRUCTURAL SUITABILITY - Ensure the opening is strong
enough to support the door.
FIXINGS
Coach screws are supplied with the door for fitting to timber.
Correct and safe fastening to other materials may require different fasteners.
The installer must select and use fasteners appropriate to the material into which they are being fixed.
NOTE - It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the fixing methods are sound.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SIDEROOM - A minimum of 75 mm (100 mm desirable) of
sideroom is required behind the opening and should extend above
the head to allow for bracket fixing. Sideroom on one side of at least
115 mm is required if a Firmamatic
fitted now or in the future.
OBSTRUCTIONS - Ensure that the surface where the door will be
fitted is flush and smooth, and the area behind the opening is free
from any protrusions.
HEADROOM - See diagram below If the door is installed lower
into the opening than shown, additional loss of walk-in clearance
will result. The fitting of a false head may also be necessary, in
order to improve the external appearance (See Alternative Fixings).
