How to Install

Step-by-step fitting instructions from the manufacturer datasheet.

1

Open the door, release the hinge bolts, and lift the door out of the frame.

2

Position the frame in the aperture, ensuring the opening is 7 mm larger than the panel size. Mark the hinge pin locations.

3

Remove the frame and drill the clearance holes at the marked positions.

4

Fix the frame into the aperture using all fixing points, ensuring it is square and flush with the ceiling / wall

5

Refit the door by tightening up the hinge bolts back in position and closing the door.

6

Lock the door with the key, ensuring it sits flush within the frame. --

Independent support may be needed for the Access Panels weight. Before applying the plaster skim coat, apply joint filler and scrim tape over the junction between the beaded frame and the beaded door plasterboard to prevent cracking.
