2. Installation Procedure
2.1 Installation Set up
Plumb:
Check by using either a level or plumb line and a straight edge along both the lock and hinge
sides. These two uprights should be straight, plumb and parallel.
Parallel:
Check by measuring the horizontal dimension across the top and bottom of the frame which
should also measure the same.
Run up or Transit Blocks:
These should be removed during installation so as not to interfere with the natural slamming
action of the door leaf.
Sash to Frame Trueness:
It is essential that the sash closes true to the outer frame, and thereby ensuring that the hooks
fire simultaneously and that a level of weather performance is achieved.
This can be checked/adjusted by firstly opening the sash, then manually firing the hooks both
top and bottom, by depressing the hook latches.
Then by closing the door sash too, checking that the top and bottom hook touch the outer frame
at the same time. If one hook touches and the other not, then the outer frame fixings should be
removed, the frame adjusted true to the sash and re-fixed so that they do.
2.2 Glazing, if applicable
Toeing and Heeling:
Ensure that the door is correctly toe and heeled so as to transmit the dead weight of the leaf back
to the hinge side and eliminate the chance of the leaf sagging in the future.
Packing Opposite Hooks:
To achieve maximum security be sure to pack the glass adjacent to the locking points both lock
and hinge side.
