The ALUMAX STIKSTALL framework has been designed to work with a variety of different door types. To ensure correct installation, this 791 Instruction Sheet is designed to be used by itself with a 790 Framed Pivot Door or with an instruction supplement packed with a 390 Frameless Pivot Door, or a 1090 Heavy Frameless Pivot Door. Each step in this primary instruction sheet will indicate whether it applies to all door types or if a supplement should be used.
DOORS 3 - ALL Place the two wall jambs [ B] into the ends of the curb [ A]. Masking tape may be used to hold the curb in place during this operation. Plumb the jambs and mark the hole locations on the wall. Remove all parts and drill the walls for mounting hardware. For tile or marble walls, drill six 3/16" diameter holes and insert the plastic wall anchors [ C]. Attachments to fiberglass or acrylic units can be made in two ways.
DOORS 6 - ALL Measure the wall-to-wall opening at the top of the wall jambs [ B] and cut the header [ H] to fit the exact opening. Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill the interior face of the header on both ends as shown. DOORS 7 - ALL Press the header [ H] over the wall jambs [ B] and the 180° post [ G]. Plumb the post, moving it laterally as required to maintain proper coverage on the fixed glass panel [ F].
DOORS ONLY 9 - 790 Snap the fillers [ P] into the curb [ A] and header [ H] between the door jambs with the raised lip to the exterior and the pivot holes toward the pivot jamb. Center the curb filler in the curb between the pivot and strike jamb (use masking tape to hold in position). NOTE: The snap-in fillers should be exactly 3/8" longer than the door panel width. DOORS ONLY 10 - 790 Pull the bottom end of the pivot jamb [ M] tight to the curb filler [ P] and plumb the jamb.
DOORS ONLY 12 - 790 Insert the two nylon pivot bushings [ Y] into the pivot holes in the head and curb fillers [ P]. Lift the door panel [ L] and insert the top pivot pin into the pivot bushing in the header filler. Hold the door vertical and insert the bottom pivot pin into the pivot bushing in the curb filler. It may be necessary to remove the header retaining screws and raise the header slightly to install the door.
DOORS ONLY 15 - 790 Attach the interior door handle [ BB] and the exterior door handle [ CC] to the door panel [ L] with two #6-32 x 1 1/4" round head screws [ DD]. Close the door and check the clearance with the strike jamb [ N]. If necessary, loosen the set screws [ W] on the top and bottom slide bars and adjust the door panel to align the strike magnets. When the door panel is properly aligned, tighten the set screws securely.
DOORS 18 - ALL Cut four pieces of the larger vinylFF] [ 1/2" longer than the horizontal opening and trim the ends on a 45° angle. Install the top exterior vinyl starting at both ends and working toward the middle. Be careful not to stretch the vinyl. Install the top interior vinyl and the two bottom vinyls in the same way. DOORS 19 - ALL Carefully caulk the interior jamb-to-wall and curb- to-base joints. For appearance, you may wish to caulk the exterior joints as well.
