Hinges, Glazing & Gaskets
10.1 Open the doors and locate the missing centre hinges (open-in-only)
10.2 Making sure the two halves of the top and bottom hinges are together, install the centre hinge, being careful not to cross thread the screws
NOTE: All hinges will be found in the components box. The centre hinge is for open-in only.
11.1 Close all doors and fully engage the locks
11.2 Starting with the door next to the hinge jamb, remove the 4 glazing beads
11.3 Place 2 no. 4mm packers (32mm wide minimum) in the bottom of the glazing chamber spaced approximately 50mm in from each corner at 90° to the door (FIG 11A)
11.4 Install the glass on to the packers, taking care not to pinch the gasket on the outside
11.5 Insert another 4mm packer (32mm wide minimum) to the side of the glass diagonally opposite the toe and heel plate about 50mm up from the corner, making sure to support the inner and outer layers of the glass (FIG 11B)
11.6 Using a glazing paddle at the bottom, lift the glass and turn the packer which is diagonally opposite the toe and heel plate so it is in line with the glass, making sure inner and outer layers are supported (FIG 11B)
11.7 Remove the second packer from under the glass and insert into the side, at the top of the door diagonally opposite the first two packers, making sure inner and outer layers of glass are supported
11.8 Using the glazing paddle, lever the door up and place a 4mm glazing packer (32mm wide minimum) between the top of the glass and the toe and heel plate, making sure both inner and outer layers of the glass are supported
11.9 Reinstall all four glazing beads starting with the top and bottom
11.10 Repeat steps 11.4 to 11.9 until all the glass is in place
NOTE: The packer positions will always be set by the location of the toe and heel plate and will be opposite to the adjoining door (FIG 11C). If the glass is not square or stepped, it may be necessary to use a thinner packer between the glass and toe and heel plate. These should always be a minimum of 32mm wide.
12.1 Starting with the bottom bead, use the glazing paddle to gently lever the bead away from the glass and into the correct position whilst lifting the side beads
12.2 Place the gasket between the glass and bead with the concave side against the glass
12.3 Feed the gasket behind the side bead until it stops and then continue along the bottom bead compressing the gasket towards the start point
12.4 Repeat steps above with the top bead
12.5 Cut a slight angle on the end of the gasket and insert behind the side bead pushing up to meet the top gasket
12.6 Continue to feed the gasket along the side bead, compressing towards the starting point
12.7 Once just over halfway down the side, cut the gasket by approximately 5mm past the bottom at a slight angle, then push the gasket in at the bottom and feed back to the bottom
12.8 Repeat steps 12.5 to 12.7 with the remaining side
