Security door installation

The installation of the fixed partition wall of Panic Door Hardware should be carried out after the construction of other processes in the indoor area is completed. The fixed partition wall and movable door leaf must be aligned uniformly, and the positioning line of the partition wall and safety door should be released according to the design drawings, to determine the position of the door frame, and accurately measure the ground elevation and the top elevation of the safety door frame. The width of the limit groove on the top of the partition wall and the safety door should be 2~4mm larger than the thickness, and the groove depth should be between 20~30mm for glue injection. In this installation method, the two edges of the metal decorative plate can be drawn out from the elastic center line, and then the limit groove on the top of the safety door frame can be installed according to the edge. Wooden backing plates in the notches are used to adjust the groove depth. Adjust by increasing or decreasing the number of pads. Then install the wood base with metal veneer. The installation method can be to nail the square wood to the original pre-embedded wooden brick, or fix the square wood to the ground with Panic Door Hardware expansion bolts, and then use the all-purpose glue to glue the metal veneer to the square wood. The aluminum alloy square tube can be fixed on the frame column with aluminum corners, or the wooden brick buried in the ground with wood screws.

Installation Precautions

When many people install anti-theft doors, they ignore some important issues, resulting in problems. Before installation, first drill six Panic Door Hardware expansion screw holes on the door hole. It should be noted that the size of the door opening should be slightly larger than the security door, about 1.5cm, not more than 3cm. This is mainly to facilitate later adjustments. Then it is very important to measure the size, and then determine the opening direction of the anti-theft door according to the situation of the corridor; first, the anti-theft door needs to be embedded in the door hole, and then adjust the angle to observe whether the anti-theft door can be opened and closed flexibly. If there are no problems, then secure the door with Panic Door Hardware expansion bolts; note the order in which the expansion bolts are driven into the wall. First, fasten the top expansion bolt on the hinge side, and then fasten the corresponding screws of the lock. In general, the depth of the expansion bolt should be kept above 5 cm, and pay attention to the impact hammer. The size of the drill bit should be consistent with the expansion bolts; after the security door is installed, it is necessary to use the method of drilling and grouting to fill the gaps on both sides of the door and repair the wall.
