Introduction

To enable the arrangement of doors of the SlidingFolding Patio Doorset to operate either from the left orright certain operations that determine the handing ofa door leaf will need to be undertaken on site.

The stiles of the door leaves will need to be pilotdrilled to suit the arrangement of the hinges and holesto receive the lock cylinder and the bottom fixingscrew of the handle set will need to be added to themortise in the stile of the locking door leaf.

Information showing the position of the hinges andthe preparation to the lock mortise are given in theseinstructions.

Prior to receipt of the doorset you should havereceived an advanced information sheet advising youof the need to check that a suitable structure hasbeen prepared to which the head track of the doorsetcan be fixed and that will be able to support theadditional loads imposed by the door leaves.

5. Fixing Frame in Opening

Offer the frame into the structural opening and adjustits position to ensure that the fixing holes in the headtrack are in the correct position to match thesupporting structure (i.e. in the centre of the externalflange of a lintel)

Pre-drilling

Once the position of the frame is correct, pre-drill thelintel with a 4mm diameter hole using the preparedholes in the head track as a guide.

Remove the frame head, from this position, to allowpre-drilling of any masonry above the lintel.

The masonry will need to be drilled through the 4mmholes in the lintel to a depth of at least 40mm toreceive the length of the fixing screw that passesthrough the lintel.

Locating the Frame

When the position of the frame is correct place 5mmof packing above each jamb between the head andthe top of the structural opening then place packersbelow the sill until the head packers are tight.

Using a spirit level, check that the head and sill arelevel, make adjustments as necessary, then pack ateach of the sill fixing points ensuring that the sillremains level.

Use the spirit-level to check that the jambs arevertical. Position packers at each of the jamb fixingpoints ensuring that the diagonals of the frame remainwithin 5mm of each other.

Fixing Jambs

While the frame is temporarily secured by thepackers, and ensuring the frame is not knocked outof position, drill 8mm diameter holes 70mm into thestructure either side of the frame through theprepared holes in the jambs.

Insert the frame fixing bolts through the jambs andinto the structure and tighten ensuring the jambs arenot distorted.

Fixing the Sill

For each of the sill ties locate a suitable fixing pointand drill for the 7mm masonry plug then fix thesill ties using the plugs and the remaining3.5 x 37 woodscrews.

Check once more, that the jambs are vertical, that thehead and sill are level and that the diagonals arewithin 5mm of each other.

Fixing the Head

In order to produce a camber in the head track asshown opposite the fixings to the head need to befitted in stages reducing the gap between the head

and the supporting structure at each stage.

Starting with the two outer fixings offer up the fixingscrew and tighten until it it is just pulling. DO NOTFULLY TIGHTEN AT THIS STAGE.

At a central fixing point lightly tighten a screw until thehead is pulling close to the lintel.

Working from the jambs inwards lightly tighten screwsvarying the thickness of packing between the headand the lintel creating a slight upwards curve to thehead varying from approximately 5mm at each jambto zero in the middle.

Once the correct curve of the head has beenachieved tighten the fixing screws.DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Pre-drilling Once the position of the frame is correct, pre-drill the lintel with a 4mm diameter hole using the prepared holes in the head track as a guide. Remove the frame head, from this position, to allow pre-drilling of any masonry above the lintel.

The masonry will need to be drilled through the 4mm holes in the lintel to a depth of at least 40mm to receive the length of the fixing screw that passes through the lintel.

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. 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. Position packers at each of the jamb fixing points ensuring that the diagonals of the frame remain within 5mm of each other.

Fixing JambsWhile 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, we recommend five fixings equal distance apart on the length of the jamb.

Insert the frame fixing bolts through the jambs and into the structure and tighten ensuring the jambs are not distorted.

Fixing the SillFor 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. DO NOT secure the sill by inserting screws through the drainage holes located in the bottom track.

Check once more, that the jambs are vertical, that the head and sill are level and that the diagonals are within 5mm of each other.

Fixing the Head6

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 it is just pulling. DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN AT THIS STAGE.

At 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.

Frame Assembly The four assemblies are fixed together using the woodscrews and gaskets.

Note: Check that the corners of the frame are square and that the diagonals of the frame measure within 5mm of each other.If they do not, loosen the screws at the joints, adjust the frame the re-tighten the joints.

Secure the Tie Plates to the underside of the frame using the 3.5 x 37mm woodscrews at the positions prepared with pilot holes.Ensure the tie plates are fixed through both the aluminium and timber profiles.

7. Fitting the multipoint lock

The door leaf that is to receive the multipoint lock ismortised and machined for the face plate of the lock.Once the handing of the door is determined andtherefore the top and bottom edges of the doors areestablished, additional holes need to be preparedthrough the central mortise as shown on the diagrambelow.

The multipoint lock is fitted into the machined edge ofthe door, positioned to match the newly preparedholes in the central mortise. It may be useful to looselyfit the handles, spindle and euro-cylinder to locate thelock accurately (see section 12). Pilot drill each fixingposition in the face-plate of the lock with holes of3.0mm diameter and 30mm deep. Secure the lockwith the 3.5 x 37mm woodscrews.

8. Preparing for multipointlock keeps

For door arrangements other than 3L, 3R, 5L and 5Rone door has been machined to receive the keeps forthe multipoint lock and will need to be prepared to fitthe striker of the central keep as shown in thediagram below.

9. Fitting the carrier andpivot hinges

In preparation for hanging the door leaves the carrierhinges need to be fitted into the top track in anappropriate order to suit the desired arrangement ofdoors. All the carrier hinges are fed into the trackthrough the cut-outs that can be at one or both endsof the top track. The top and bottom blocks of thepivot hinges need to be positioned so that theadjustment screws can be accessed after the doorsare fitted as shown in the diagrams.

Note: It is not important which end of the track thecut-out is located but the carrier hinges must be fedinto the track in the correct order.

13. Adjusting the doorsAdjustments can be made to the top and bottompivot hinges and to the top intermediate carrier hingelocated in the head track.

The top and bottom pivot hinges can be adjusted tomove all three doors sideways between the jambs.It is important to adjust both hinges evenly as unevenmovement could effect the load supported by thehead track.

The top pivot hinge and the top intermediate hingecan be used to raise and lower the doors.Again, these should be adjusted together to ensurean even distribution of load.

The doors should be adjusted so that there is an evengap at the head, sill and jambs.

The target clearance at the head and sill is 5mm andthat at the jambs is 8mm.

If movement of the timber has occurred creatingclearances greater than the target dimensions the gapat the multipoint lock should be altered by adjustingthe pivot hinge(s) so that the latch engages correctly.This may create a clearance at the pivot hinge greaterthan 8mm but this will be accommodated by theweatherseals on the stile and jambs.

The folding sliding doorset is supplied in;1) Unfinished2) Basecoat stained or primed3) Factory finished

Factory finished requires no further decoration otherthan touching up damage that may have occurredduring installation,

The hardwood unfinished doorset must be primed orsealed immediately after delivery/ collection and priorto installation. This should be carried out in dryweather conditions. All faces, edges and any cutoutsshould be suitably sealed immediately afterun-wrapping. Before priming or sealing lightly sand offany handling marks and variations caused byexposure and ensure the surface is dust free.

Unfinished hardwood can be resinous and will needto be suitably sealed prior to finishing. For paintfinishes aluminium primers can provide suitableblocking properties.

Microporous paints and woodstains arerecommended for all exterior products.The manufacturers instructions should be followed.‘Low Build’ stains and Danish Oil should not be used.

Pigmented translucent finishes generally performmuch better than clear. It is recommended that darkcoloured stains or paint should be avoided if thedoorset is exposed to the full heat of the sun,particularly on south or south west elevations.Dark finishes increase surface temperatures andcause excessive drying out, this can lead to surfacedeterioration requiring more regular maintenance.

MaintenanceThese products must be installed in accordance withaccepted good trade practice (and in accordancewith supplied instructions where applicable),and maintained in accordance with these proceduresor else the warranty shall be void.

Automatic Closers And OperatorsAll Door Hardware systems supplied are designed formanual operation only.

HardwareIn buildings is subject to deterioration from everydayuse, and also from environmental attack due toatmospheric and other conditions. Maintenance ofhardware is even more important in severeenvironments such as coastal marine areas, andsome industrial areas. Even stainless steel productsrequire maintenance to prevent deterioration in someenvironments.JELD-WEN UK Ltd requires the following minimummaintenance to be followed otherwise the warrantyshall be void.

Track And BearingsUsing a spatula or similar item (not your finger), applya small amount (typically a 1/4 teaspoon) of whitepetroleum jelly (Vaseline) or similar lubricant to theinner lip of each side of the track. Ensure that thewheels pass through the lubricant and it is distributedevenly along the track. Put additional lubricant aroundbearings. Lubricant reduces wear, improvessmoothness and further protects against corrosion oftrack and bearings. Remove all surface contaminantsby wiping all visible track surfaces with a damp softcloth and a mild detergent, then wipe clean with aclean cloth. In severe environments, apply a thinfilm of a corrosion preventative by wiping with a softcloth moistened with one of corrosion preventativeproducts.Stainless-steel bearings are manufactured fromhardening-grade stainless steel and although thismaterial performs considerably better than platedsteels, it is still susceptible to corrosion unlessmaintained as described above.

Hangers, Pivots And BracketsA light spray application of a corrosion preventativefollowed by a light wipe with a dry cloth to removeexcess is recommended to all hangers, pivots andbrackets. Exposed surfaces should first be wipeddown with warm soapy water and a soft rag, andthen rinsed clean before applying preventative.
