ARMOR DOOR TM INSTALLATION OF WELDED FRAMES PRIOR TO INSTALLATION The installer shall perform the following prior to installation: The area of floor on which the frame is to be installed and the path of the door swing shall be checked for flatness and levelness. Permissible tol-erance is +/- 1/16 in. (1.5mm). If the floor exceeds this, it is the general contractor’s responsibility to correct the area that is out of tolerance before the frame is installed.
ARMOR DOOR INSTALLATION OF WELDED FRAMES TM The installation contractor shall have a carpenter level and builder’s square. Level the head by posi-tioning the level to the head door rabbet, Figure 4. If necessary, adjust for high spots in floor by shim-ming under the jamb floor anchor, Figure 7. Equalize them through an adjustable floor anchor, if specified, Figure 13b. Note, for labeled openings the maximum floor clearance is 3/4 in. (19mm). With builder’s square, check frame for squareness.
ARMOR DOOR TM INSTALLATION OF WELDED FRAMES EXISTING MASONRY WALLS When an opening exists in a wall prior to the frame installation, clearance between existing wall and frame is critical. Size the frame accordingly to allow for ¼ in. clearance between the returns of the frame and the rough opening. Take into consideration the minimum dimensions and the plumbness and levelness of the entire opening, including the floor. Installation: Place the frame in the completed wall opening, Figure 18A.
ARMOR DOOR INSTALLATION OF WELDED FRAMES TM EXISTING WOOD/STEEL STUDS When wood/steel studs are up prior to the frame installation, clearance between studs and frame is critical. Size the frame accordingly to allow for ¼ in. clearance between the returns of the frame and the rough opening. Take into consideration the minimum dimensions and the plumbness and levelness of the entire opening, including the floor. Installation: Place the frame in the stud opening opening, Figure 18A. Check for squareness.
