It must be kept dry and stored flat in a protected, well-ventilated area. Polythene or other protective wrappings should remain on the door as long as possible.
If stacking, use a minimum of three bearers, equally spaced along the length and across the full width of the doorset, to ensure an equal distribution of weight.
Preparation for and installation of any additional hardware must be effected in a manner that ensures that water cannot penetrate inside the external protective coating/layer.

To ensure the smooth operation of these products, the following instructions must be followed:
It is imperative that the outer frame of the doorset is installed square and plumb to allow correct operation of the hardware.
1 Fit into opening, set frame back 30mm over the cavity to conform to Part L Robust details. Wedge frame into the opening for new build. If replacing an original frame, it should be fitted no further forward than the original.
2 Check the frame for squareness across the diagonals, horizontal and vertical dimensions, wedge and pack as required to ensure all are equal.
3 The sill must be level, check using a spirit level. Pack beneath it to stop movement and ensure it is fully supported. Do not over pack the sill, it is important it remains square.
4 Check frame is square and plumb in the opening.
5 Using the brickwork fixing screws, fix through the jambs as shown below.
Use appropriate sealer to fill gaps between frame and brickwork on all sides.

The threshold is supplied fitted to the frame. Make sure the corners are properly sealed using silicone to avoid water leakage through corners.
Care must be taken not to block the drainage holes on threshold.
Before coupling together, seal the end grain of both head and sills with suitable end grain sealant. A flexible sealant should then be used the full length of the joint, but with particular attention at the sill joint.

When fitting the locking cylinder and handle set, make sure that these components are installed vertically to the door stile. If these items are fitted in twist it could be detrimental to the operation of the locking mechanism.The locking mechanism engages when the handle is lifted up. The key can then be turned in the cylinder activating the lock. Key locking is operable from both sides.

Hook Keep adjustmentThere is a small amount of adjustment (if required) built into both Hook Keeps and Shootbolt Keeps. (Shootbolt keeps are supplied in the threshold pack.)
The hook Keeps are designed to alleviate compression by simply reversing the Keeps (turning the Keeps through 180˚). This should only be done if the operation of the locking mechanism is overly stiff in function. (Fig.1)

Shootbolt Keep adjustmentAdjustability on the Shootbolt Keeps (top and bottom) is achieved by means of an elongated fixing hole, simply slacken the screw fixings (fig.2) and relocate the Keep to tighten or slacken compression. Then tighten the screws in the other two holes to fix it tight.

Finishing & maintenance10
FinishingAfter finishing the installation of your doorset, check that all the fixings are secure and seals correctly fitted. This is vital for proper operation and long life of your Patio doorset.
Factory finished requires no further decoration other than touching up damage that may have occurred during installation. Unfinished doorset must be primed or sealed immediately after delivery/ collection and prior to installation. This should be carried out in dry weather conditions. All faces and edges should be suitably sealed immediately after un-wrapping. Before priming or sealing lightly sand off any handling marks and variations caused by exposure and ensure the surface is dust free.
Microporous paints and medium or high build wood stains are recommended for all exterior products. The manufacturer’s instructions should be followed.
‘Low Build’ stains, varnishes, Danish Oil or any other finishes 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.
MaintenanceThese 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.
Automatic Closers and OperatorsAll Door Hardware systems supplied are designed for manual operation only.
HardwareHandles, hinges and bearings in buildings are 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. JELD-WEN UK Ltd requires the following minimum maintenance to be followed otherwise the warranty shall be void.
HingesWipe down the visible surfaces with warm soapy water on a soft rag and then rinse off by wiping with a clean damp rag. Application 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. Be careful not to get these compounds on the timberwork itself as they may cause staining.
HandlesRefer to leaflet in box.
FrequencyThe 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 monthlyRegular maintenance is required to all hardware, even stainless steel; otherwise the manufacturer’s warranty may be voided.

Hinges, aluminium rails and other hardware fitted must never be painted, and must be kept clean and lightly lubricated at all times. Use Vaseline or neutral oil. Keep rivets and moving parts lightly lubricated. Lubricate at least once a year, in coastal areas and/or places with high pollution, clean and lubricate more often.
All joinery shall be installed correctly in accordance with normal trade practices and adequately maintained in service.
The decorative finish applied to external joinery must be maintained in service and moisture must not be allowed to penetrate into the timber throughout its life.
Regular maintenance of the paint or stain finish of the product is essential for the long-term performance of all the components of your patio doorset.

External joinery products must be cleaned at a maximum of six monthly intervals using a mild non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth. Both internal and exterior faces should be cleaned.
Make regular checks to ensure that any drainage holes, channels and spaces are kept clear. Use a soft flexible brush or pipe cleaner with care to remove obstructions.
Annual inspection should be made and touching up carried out as necessary in areas of wear and tear (for example, exposed areas of sills or where the paint film has been breached).
Guarantees to the finished product are also on condition that:
• No physical or chemical damage to the doorset or coating has occurred
• No repairs or alterations to the surrounding buildings have occurred which are detrimental to the joinery performance.
• No failure of the coating has occurred caused by failure of ancillary products, or glazing.
