EXECUTION
3.1
INSTALLATION
3.1.1
Door Schedule
Refer to door schedule on drawings for location of doors, door frames, and
door hardware.
3.1.2
Frames
Set frames accurately in position, plumbed, aligned, and braced securely
until permanent anchors are set. After completing wall construction,
remove temporary braces and spreaders. Do not use any part of the frame as
lintels or load-carrying members. Anchor frame to masonry with flat head
security type machine screws into expansion shields or attached to a
pre-set rough buck anchored to the masonry in the same way. Install five
anchors on each jamb for doors up to and including 2250 mm 7 feet 6 inches
in height and six on each jamb for taller doors.
3.1.3
Doors
Fit hollow metal doors accurately in frames.
Provide metal shims where
necessary.
3.1.4
Access Panels
Prepare openings as required to receive frame. Use fasteners as specified
and required by type of surrounding construction. Ensure that frames are
properly seated into opening with steel shims and that doors are true, in
alignment, and completely flush in appearance. Maintain 3 mm 1/8 inch
maximum clearance between door and frame.
3.2
ADJUSTMENT AND CLEANING
Remove and replace defective work which is warped, bowed, or otherwise
damaged. Adjust hollow metal work for smooth operation. Touch up
scratches and bare edges in the field with a rust inhibiting primer prior
to painting.
