2 Fitting and Fixing Instructions Sliding Folding Patio Doorset Introduction To enable the arrangement of doors of the Sliding Folding Patio Doorset to operate either from the left or right certain operations that determine the handing of a door leaf will need to be undertaken on site. The stiles of the door leaves will need to be pilot drilled to suit the arrangement of the hinges and holes to receive the lock cylinder and the bottom fixing screw of the handle set will need to be added to the mortise in the stile of the locking door leaf. Information showing the position of the hinges and the preparation to the lock mortise are given in these instructions. Prior to receipt of the doorset you should have received an advanced information sheet advising you of the need to check that a suitable structure has been prepared to which the head track of the doorset can be fixed and that will be able to support the additional loads imposed by the door leaves.

5 Locating the Frame When the position of the frame is correct place 5mm of packing above each jamb between the head and the top of the structural opening then place packers below the sill until the head packers are tight. (See diagram below) Using a spirit level, check that the head and sill are level, make adjustments as necessary, then pack at each of the sill fixing points ensuring that the sill remains level. Use the spirit-level to check that the jambs are vertical. packers at each of the jamb fixing points ensuring that the diagonals of the frame remain within 2mm of each other. Fixing Jambs While the frame is temporarily secured by the packers, and ensuring the frame is not knocked out of position, drill 8mm diameter holes 70mm into the structure either side of the frame through the prepared holes in the jambs. Insert the frame fixing bolts through the jambs and into the structure and tighten ensuring the jambs are not distorted. Fixing the Sill For each of the sill ties locate a suitable fixing point and drill for the 7mm masonry plug then fix the sill ties using the plugs and the remaining 3.5 x 37 woodscrews. Check once more, that the jambs are vertical, that the head and sill are level and that the diagonals are within 2mm of each other. Fixing the Head In order to produce a camber in the head track as shown opposite the fixings to the head need to be fitted in stages reducing the gap between the head and the supporting structure at each stage. Starting with the two outer fixings offer up the fixing screw and tighten until it is just pulling. DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN T THIS STGE. Ensure the 5mm packers are in place between the head and the lintel approx 50mm in from each end of the head as shown below t a central fixing point lightly tighten a screw until the head is pulling close to the lintel. Working from the jambs inwards lightly tighten screws varying the thickness of packing between the head and the lintel creating a slight upwards curve to the head varying from approximately 5mm at each jamb to zero in the middle. Once the correct curve of the head has been achieved tighten the fixing screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Insert 5mm packer between head & lintel 5mm 5mm Diagonal Tolerance = +/-2mm 5mm

14 Fitting and Fixing Instructions Sliding Folding Patio Doorset 7. Fitting the multipoint lock The door leaf that is to receive the multipoint lock is mortised and machined for the face plate of the lock. Once the handing of the door is determined and therefore the top and bottom edges of the doors are established, additional holes need to be prepared through the central mortise as shown on the diagram below. The multipoint lock is fitted into the machined edge of the door, positioned to match the newly prepared holes in the central mortise. It may be useful to loosely fit the handles, spindle and euro-cylinder to locate the lock accurately (see section 12). Pilot drill each fixing position in the face-plate of the lock with holes of 3.0mm diameter and 30mm deep. Secure the lock with the 3.5 x 37mm woodscrews.

15 8. Preparing for multipoint lock keeps For door arrangements other than 3L, 3R, 5L and 5R one door has been machined to receive the keeps for the multipoint lock and will need to be prepared to fit the striker of the central keep as shown in the diagram below. 9. Fitting the carrier and pivot hinges In preparation for hanging the door leaves the carrier hinges need to be fitted into the top track in an appropriate order to suit the desired arrangement of doors. ll the carrier hinges are fed into the track through the cut-outs that can be at one or both ends of the top track The top and bottom blocks of the pivot hinges need to be positioned so that the adjustment screws can be accessed after the doors are fitted as shown in the diagrams. Note: It is not important which end of the track the cut-out is located but the carrier hinges must be fed into the track in the correct order.

21 15. Finishing & Maintenance Finishing fter finishing the installation of your doorset, check that all the fixings are secure and all the specified dimensions are achieved. It is vital for proper operation and long life of your Patio doorset. The folding sliding doorset is supplied in; 1) Unfinished 2) Primed 3) White or Oak Lacquer Factory finished requires no further decoration other than touching up damage that may have occurred during installation, Unfinished doorsets must be primed or sealed immediately after delivery/ collection and prior to installation. This should be carried out in dry weather conditions. ll faces, edges and any cutouts should be suitably sealed immediately after unwrapping. efore priming or sealing lightly sand off any handling marks and variations caused by exposure and ensure the surface is dust free. Unfinished timber can be resinous and will need to be suitably sealed prior to finishing. For paint finishes aluminium primers can provide suitable blocking properties. Microporous paints and woodstains are recommended for all exterior products. The manufacturers instructions should be followed. Low uild stains and Danish Oil should not be used. Pigmented translucent finishes generally perform much better than clear. It is recommended that dark coloured stains or paint should be avoided if the doorset is exposed to the full heat of the sun, particularly on south or south west elevations. Dark finishes increase surface temperatures and cause excessive drying out, this can lead to surface deterioration requiring more regular maintenance. Maintenance These products must be installed in accordance with accepted good trade practice (and in accordance with supplied instructions where applicable), and maintained in accordance with these procedures or else the warranty shall be void. utomatic Closers nd Operators ll Door Hardware systems supplied are designed for manual operation only. Hardware In buildings is subject to deterioration from everyday use, and also from environmental attack due to atmospheric and other conditions. Maintenance of hardware is even more important in severe environments such as coastal marine areas, and some industrial areas. Even stainless steel products require maintenance to prevent deterioration in some environments. LPD Ltd requires the following minimum maintenance to be followed otherwise the warranty shall be void. Track nd earings Using a spatula or similar item (not your finger), apply a small amount (typically a 1/4 teaspoon) of white petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or similar lubricant to the inner lip of each side of the track. Ensure that the wheels pass through the lubricant and it is distributed evenly along the track. Put additional lubricant around bearings. Lubricant reduces wear, improves smoothness and further protects against corrosion of track and bearings. Remove all surface contaminants by wiping all visible track surfaces with a damp soft cloth and a mild detergent, then wipe clean with a clean cloth. In severe environments, apply a thin film of a corrosion preventative by wiping with a soft cloth moistened with one of corrosion preventative products. Stainless-steel bearings are manufactured from hardening-grade stainless steel and although this material performs considerably better than plated steels, it is still susceptible to corrosion unless maintained as described above. Hangers, Pivots nd rackets light spray application of a corrosion preventative followed by a light wipe with a dry cloth to remove excess is recommended to all hangers, pivots and brackets. Exposed surfaces should first be wiped down with warm soapy water and a soft rag, and then rinsed clean before applying preventative.

22 Fitting and Fixing Instructions Sliding Folding Patio Doorset Hinges Hinges Wipe down the visible surfaces with warm soapy water on a soft rag and then rinse off by wiping with a clean damp rag. pplication of a thin film of a light machine oil or one of the corrosion preventative sprays will help to maintain the original lustre of the metal finish. e careful not to get these compounds on the timberwork itself as they may cause staining. Dropbolts Spray application of a suitable lubricant to the sliding pin inside the bolt and to the lock cylinder is recommended. tube attached to the nozzle will help to concentrate the spray where you want it to go. There are access holes or slots on all dropbolt products so that this can be done without removing the locks from the doors. Handles Refer to leaflet in box. Frequency The procedures mentioned above need to be carried out as often as is necessary to prevent deterioration in the installed environment, however we recommend the following minimum frequency of application: General environments 6 monthly Marine and industrial environments 3 monthly Regular maintenance is required to all hardware, even stainless steel; otherwise the manufacturer s warranty may be voided. 16.
