Step  1  -­‐  Outer  Frame  

Carefully  unpack  the  outer  frame  taking  special  care  not  to  make  contact  with  the  coated  finish  if  using  a  knife  or  blade.  

The  Outer  Frame  will  be  delivered  in  pre-­‐prepared  "Kit  Form"  with  coloured  labels  showing  which  pieces  go  together  for  simple  assembly  on  site  as  below:-­‐  

 

 

NOTE  -­‐  The  gasket  pieces  shown  above  require  silicone  seal  to  make  frame  watertight,  failure  to  adequately  seal  could  result  in  a  frame  that  isn't  watertight.  

Page 3: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

STEP  2  -­‐  Aperture  preparation/check  

 

Once  assembled,  it  is  advisable  to  check  the  outer  frame  size  and  compare  it  to  your  aperture.  

 

                               

 

You  should  have  a  difference  between  frame  size  and  aperture  to  allow  for  a  suitable  fitting  tolerance  of  a  minimum  5mm  around  all  sides.  

 

Checking  the  size  of  the  aperture  will  also  guide  you  as  to  what  amount  of  packing  may  be  required  to  get  the  outer  frame  square  and  plumb  (vertically  level)

If  no  projecting  Cill  has  been  ordered/supplied  it  is  highly  advisable  to  install  a  DPM  or  membrane  tray  to  create  a  suitable  barrier  against  ingress,  below  is  a  suggestive  detail  that  can  be  discussed/approved  with  the  architect  or  builder:-­‐  

 

 

 

 

 

If  a  Projecting  Cill  is  supplied,  silicone  seal  around  perimeter  edge  and  screw  Cill  end  caps  on  each  end  with  screws  provided:-­‐

STEP  3  -­‐  Frame  preparation  

Next,  attach  the  cill  (if  supplied)  to  the  bottom  of  the  outer  frame  

NOTE  -­‐  the  bottom  of  the  outer  frame  is  easily  identified  by  the  2  stainless  steel  track  rails,  and,  if  rebated  threshold  and  doors  open  IN  the  large  face  of  profile  will  be  on  outside,  or,  doors  open  OUT,  large  face  of  profile  will  be  on  inside.  

 

 

 

 To  attach  cill,  drill  clearance  holes  though  underside  of  cill  @  200mm  from  each  end  and  maximum  600mm  centres  to  suit  for  your  fixing  screw  (recommended  4.8  x  40mm  cap  head  self  cutting  baypole  type  screw)  making  sure  not  to  come  up  through  the  threshold  profile:-­‐      

 

 

 

 

Page 6: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 

The  simplest  method  of  fixing  the  frame  to  the  substrate  is  using  the  supplied  'twist  fit'  fixing  straps  as  shown  below  (these  can  be  cut  down  in  length  to  suit  but  must  have  min  40mm  in  contact  with  substrate  ,  it  is  recommended  to  attach  straps  at  the  height  of  each  hinge  and  locking  points:-­‐  

 

Used  suitable  centres  as  shown  below:-­‐  

 

 

Page 7: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 

Next,  place  the  outer  frame/cill  combination  in  the  aperture  and  pack  level  at  no  more  than  400mm  centres  to  give  the  outer  frame  a  solid  level  starting  point:-­‐  

NOTE  -­‐  The  bottom  of  the  outer  frame/cill  must  sit  on,  or  be  supportively  packed  directly  under  vertical  jamb  sections  and  at  intervals  no  more  than  400mm,  on  a  suitable  level  and  supportive  substrate  material  (brick,  block,  stone,  concrete,  treated  timber  or  steel)  to  avoid  movement  under  the  weight  of  the  doors  

 

 

 

 

'Wedges'  could  be  used  to  temporarily  hold  the  outer  frame  in  position  whilst  setting  plumb  and  level:-­‐      

 

 

 

 

Page 8: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 

 STEP  4  -­‐  Frame  Checking/Fixing  

Once  your  outer  frame  is  packed/wedged  to  hold  securely  in  the  aperture  prior  to  final  fixing,  it  is  advisable  to  check  the  dimensions  of  the  frame,  (if  the  dimensions  are  not  consistent,  rectification  will  be  required)  

 

 

Check  the  plumb  and  level  of  the  outer  frame  using  a  laser  line  if  available  or  suitable  long  spirit  level,  (if  not  level,  rectification  will  be  required)  

 

Page 9: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 

Check  the  diagonals  of  the  outer  frame,  (if  the  dimensions  are  not  consistent,  rectification  will  be  required)  

 

 

Once  the  outer  frame  is  level,  plumb  and  square,  you  can  now  fix  it  to  the  substrate  by  drilling  pilot  holes  to  suit  your  chosen  fixings:-­‐  

 

 

 

Page 10: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

STEP  5  -­‐  Attaching  door  vents:-­‐  

Each  door  vent  will  have  a  coloured  label  attached  that  corresponds  to  a  matching  coloured  label  attached  to  the  outer  frame  showing  the  position  of  each  panel  to  be  fitted:-­‐  

 

 

 

Start  by  sourcing  the  door  vent  that  corresponds  with  the  coloured  label  that  denotes  the  end  of  frame  that  folding  doors  stack  against:-­‐    

Note:-­‐  the  hinges  have  been  factory  attached  to  the  door  vent  

 

                                                     

 

Page 11: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 

Align  the  vent  hinges  with  the  pre-­‐attached  outer  frame  hinge  plates  and  attach  all  hinges  using  the  screws  supplied:-­‐  

 2  x  M4  machine  screws    

2  x  Self  tappers    

1  x  Grub  screw    

 

TOP:-­‐

MIDDLE  (could  be  either  way)  so  best  to  try  top  hole  and  then  alternate  fixing  type:-­‐  

 

BOTTOM  (opposite  to  top):-­‐

 

Page 13: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 

Once  hinges  are  suitably  affixed,  glue  the  pre-­‐formed  gasket  hinge  covers  at  the  points  shown  below  so  they  align  with  gasket  above  and  

below:-­‐  

Repeat  all  of  the  above  to  attach  2nd  vent  to  1st  vent:-­‐                                                                                                                      

 

Page 14: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 

Next,  slide  the  BOTTOM  ROLLER  along  the  bottom  track  towards  2nd  vent  and  TOP  ROLLER  in  through  the  top  track  cut  outs  and  along  the  top  track  towards  the  2nd  vent:-­‐  

 

 

Proceed  to  add  the  next  Doors/Vents  in  the  sequence  and  repeat  the  hinge  fixing  steps  with  appropriate  screws  and  gasket  hinge  covers.

STEP  6  -­‐  GLAZING  

To  correctly  glaze  each  door  sash,  the  process  of  'Toe  &  Healing'  described  below,  basically  transfers  the  weight  or  load  of  the  glass  unit  back  towards  the  hinge  or  roller  bearing  side  nearest  to  the  outer    frame.  

 

 

As  you  will  see  from  guide,  wherever  the  door  stays  nearest  to  frame,  the  packers  will  be  at  the  bottom  corner  (Shown  BLUE),  wherever  the  door  folds  away  from  frame,  the  packers  will  be  at  the  opposite  top  corner  (Shown  RED)    

 

 

Page 16: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 Remove  beads  by  pushing  towards  glass,  (mark  beads  left,  Right,  top,  bottom  for  reference  and  re-­‐positioning  later)    As  standard,  on  CF68  doors,  it  is  best  to  place  2  x  Blue  packers  at  each  point  shown  on  diagram  above  =  8  packers  per  door  sash,  2  x sets  of  2  at  bottom  corner,  2  x  sets  of  2  opposite  top  corner.    Silicone  the  first  packer  in  place  then  silicone  another  on  top  creating  10mm  of  packing  on  bottom,  side,  top  &  topside.    

   

The  next  step  is  to  place  correct  sized  piece  of  glass  into  door  sash  and  temporarily  click  in  the  top  and  bottom  bead  in    the  sides  to  hold  unit  in  while  leaving  hands  free  to  carry  with  glazing  procedure  (a  packer  between  glass  &  bead  helps).    

   

 

Page 17: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

Once  you  have  the  glass  held  in  postion,  using  a  Glazing  Paddle  (as  shown)  or  similar  wedge  shaped  implement,  Insert  wedge  between  glass  and  door  vent,    Insert  1x  Blue  glazing  packer  in  the  gap  between  glass  unit  and  existing  packer   Repeat  the  process  at  top  of  door  vent.  

 

   

 

 

Measure  diagonals  of  door  as  below,  if  the  sash  is  now  square  the  measurements  should  be  within  2mm,  if  not,  you  may  need  to  repeat  above  steps  but  with  slimmer  packer/s  until  diagonals  are  equal      

   

 

 

Page 18: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 Once  you  are  happy  that  the  sash  IS  square  and  level,  it  requires  packing  both  opposite  sides  (as  shown  below)  to  stop  the  unit  moving  during  operation  

                         OR        

 

                                                 

 

Once  the  sash  is  finally  packed,  the  bead  marked  'TOP',  can  now  be  replaced  and  clicked  in  to  the  bead  channel  at  the  top  by  tipping  towards  glass  then  pulling  forward,  repeat  this  with  bottom,  left  and  right  beads.    

 

Page 19: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

Once  Beaded,  the  gasket  needs  to  be  put  in  gap  between  glass  unit  and  bead,  to  do  this  take  end  of  gasket  as  shown  with  coloured  line  (colour  depends  on  glazing  thickness)  facing  you  and  serrated  edge  facing  gap  to  be  filled,  start  at  any  corner,  push  glass  towards  outside  of  door  to  compress  it  against  the  external  gasket  (this  can  be  done  with  a  glazing  shovel  or  wedge,  and  makes  the  space  bigger  between  glass  and  bead  to  recieve  the  gasket)    

   

Push  the  gasket  flat  against  the  glass  -­‐  it  will  compress  making  it  flatter,  then  push  the  gasket  into  the  gap  making  sure  it  goes  tight  up  to  adjacent  bead.    From  here  move  down  the  gasket  pushing  into  gap    (a  spray  bottle  of  diluted  washing  up  liqiud  can  help  if  difficult)  Always  push  the  gasket  towards  the  starting  point  to  avoid  stretching  (if  stretched,  the  gasket  will  in  time  shrink  back  to  original  size,  therefore  making  short  and  leaving  gaps)  Once  you  reach  the  opposite  corner,  add  1"  extra  and  push  last  section  of  gasket  into  position  and  run  back  along  gasket  lentgh  to  make  sure  evenly  flat,  you  should  now  have  full  length  of  gasket  tight  from  bead  to  bead.  Repeat  this  process  for  all  4  sides  of  door  sash.  Gaskets  should  end  up  with  a  nice  tight  finish  in  each  corner.

STEP  7  -­‐  Locking  and  set  up    

Now  that  the  doors  are  correctly  glazed,  diagonally  square,  beaded  and  gasketed,  shoot  bolt  recievers  need  attaching  to  the  outer  frame  relevant  to  the  shoot  bolt  position  on  the  door  vents.  

                                   

                                                       

Page 21: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

Close  the  appropriate  door,  turn  the  handle  to  extend  the  shootbolt  then  pencil  mark  (for  easy  removal)  the  position  of  the  top  and  bottom  shootbolt:-­‐  

 

 

 

   

Page 22: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 

Now  release  the  handle,  open  the  door/s  and  attach  the  shootbolt  recievers  to  align  with  your  mark,  using  screws  provided:-­‐  

                         

 

                                 

 

Page 23: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

 

It  is  now  time  to  check  the  final  door  locking,  close  and  lock  each  door,  finishing  with  the  traffic  or  pass  door  last.  

If  any  door  doesn't  lock  positively,  it  is  advisable  to  check:-­‐  

1,  The  diagonals  of  each  door  and  rectify.  

2,  The  doors  heights  relative  to  outer  frame  

If  the  doors  do  not  seem  consistently  level  within  the  outer  frame,  it  is  beneficial  to  run  a  spirit  level  across  the  top  of  each  door  vent.  If  any  door  vents  are  not  level,  adjustment  up  or  down  of  the  bottom  roller  hinge/s  may  be  required  using  a  5mm  Allen  key:-­‐

If  the  last  door  seems  to  over  reach  or  not  reach  the  locking  receivers,  it  may  be  that  the  span  of  all  the  doors  needs  increasing  or  decreasing,  this  can  be  done  using  the  6  x  adjusters  behind  the  expansion  profile.  The  adjusters  and  expansion  profile  are  pre-­‐attached  between  the  outer  frame  at  the  last  of  the  stacking  door  vents:-­‐  

                                                   

 

By  inserting  a  5mm  Allen  key  and  turnung  clockwise/anti-­‐clockwise,  the  expansion  profile  will  move  in  or  out  increasing  or  decreasing  the  span  of  the  door  vents  

                                             

Page 25: CF68 Bifold Door Installation Guide - Aluminium Windowsaluminiumwindows.co.uk/wp-content/.../CF68BifoldDoorInstallationGuide.pdf · CF68%BifoldDoorInstallationGuide% RecomendedTools%

Once  adjusted  and  the  doors  are  locking  satisfactorily,  long  screws  (supplied)  need  driving  through  pre-­‐drilled  holes  to  lock  of  all  6  x  adjusters  and  stop  future  movement  of  the  expansion  profile:-­‐

STEP  8  -­‐  Door  Vent  Retaining  Clips  

These  should  be  fitted  to  the  Doors  Vents  to  aid  proper  opening  and  closing  of  the  Bifold  Door  set.  

 The  male  and  female  parts  are  fitted  on  opposing  panels  so  that  when  the  opposing  Door/Vent  panels  are  opened,  the  catch  latches  and  holds  them  together  preventing  swinging  of  individual  Door  Panels  and  potential  damage.  

NOTE  -­‐  Panel  Catches  should  always  be  fitted  to:-­‐  

OUTSIDE  of  OPEN  OUT  Doors  

INSIDE  of  OPEN  IN  Doors
