PART 3 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.
