FIXED PANEL REMOVAL - FOR PROFESSIONALS ONLY
WARNING! Fixed glass/panel should only be removed for service
related issues and only when replacement parts are present, due to the
high potential of glass breakage.
Most xed panels will consist of a false panel (xed piece of glass only)
or a direct set panel (set into frame with hidden fasteners). Both false
panels and direct set panels are not designed to be removed, except for
service related issues. Hidden brackets or vinyl covers can also be used
to secure xed panels, depending on the product line.
Builders Series - A glass unit (IG) is direct set into the frame,
representing a false panel. Only the glass can be replaced.
Premium Series - Fixed panel is held in place with fasteners located in
the glazing channel. The glass must be removed to gain access to the
fasteners. Additional brackets and covers may have to be removed to
slide the panel out.
Premium Atlantic Vinyl - Fixed panels will have fasteners through the
side frame blind stop (located on the interior portion of the xed panel
and the frame) and into the panel. Jamb llers will have to be removed
to gain access to the xed panel fasteners. All panels will be removed to
the exterior.
INSTALLATION
To install, reverse removal steps.
SWINGING PANEL REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Panels can be heavy
and awkward-use
additional help
when removing and
reinstalling.
REMOVAL
1. Loosen the set screw
in each hinge.
2. Starting on the
bottom, pull the
hinge pins out of the
top of each hinge.
3. Remove panel.
INSTALLATION
1. Align the panel
hinges and slide the
hinge pins back into the top of each hinge.
2. Tighten the set screw on each hinge.
3. Adjust the hinges as necessary.
HINGE ADJUSTMENT FOR SWINGING DOORS ONLY
Proper adjustment of a swinging door panel occurs when there are
even sight lines both vertically and horizontally, and there is sufcient
contact between the weatherstrip and the frame and to prevent the
panel(s) from rubbing and allow the panel(s) to operate, seal, latch and
lock smoothly.
Improper alignment is corrected by making adjustments to the
hinge adjustment screws, 1/4 turn at a time, and then checking for
properalignment.
There are two types of hinges on each door panel. A Vertical hinge
stamped with a (V) and Horizontal hinges stamped with an (H).
The Vertical (V) hinge is always the second hinge from the bottom
and moves the entire panel up or down. The remaining hinges are
Horizontal (H) hinges, allowing the panel to move toward or away from
the jamb.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
If the door panel needs
to go up or down in
the opening, adjust the
vertical (V) hinge. Some
doors have differently
handed hinges where
one vertical hinge will
appear to be upside
down when compared to
the other vertical hinge
on the other panel. The
panel will move in the
direction of the arrow
when the adjustment
screw is turned in
thatdirection.
HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT
If the door panel(s)
need to be moved
closer to or farther
from the jamb, or if
the shoot bolt activator
(if applicable) is not
working properly,
adjust the horizontal
(H) hinges. The shoot
bolt activator must be
pressed in a minimum
of 1/8" for the shoot
bolts to engage when
the door is closed.
The handle will not
lift up if the shoot
bolt activator is not
properlyadjusted.
Turn the adjustment
screw clockwise to
move the panel away
from the jamb, or
counterclockwise to
move the panel closer
to the jamb. Each
horizontal hinge may
be adjusted separately
as needed.
