1 – VERIFICATION OF GAP MEASUREMENTS ON SITE.

Before starting the installation of the fire doors one must ensure that the gap measurements

correspond to the measurements contained in the order, taking into account the adjustment

clearances, in order to avoid problems later on after receiving the door.

The gap on site must possess the following dimensions:

To ensure the frame fits into the gap one must retain a few millimeters of clearance; these

gaps must be maintained both in width and in height.



Width clearance:

Height clearance:

The table below explains the above legends as well as the relationship between the gap

measurement and the clear passage obtained; the overall exterior measurement of the frame

is also fixed.

Legend ‐ Meaning Relation (mm.)

MHH Horizontal gap measurement Ordered measurement + 5

PLH Horizontal clear passage measurement Ordered measurement ‐ 60

MEH Horizontal exterior measurement Ordered measurement + 55

MHV Vertical gap measurement Ordered measurement + 5

PLV Vertical clear passage measurement Ordered measurement ‐ 35

MEV Vertical exterior measurement Ordered measurement + 30



2 ‐ SUPPLY CONDITIONS

The range of fire doors that NovofermAlsal S.A. supply are usually grouped together in pallets,

with a specified number of doors that is dictated by transport conditions.

During the unloading of each door for use on site, one should be extremely careful when

removing each unit to avoidtoppling or banging the merchandise.

Each door is supplied by the factory assembled with leaf and frame, as shown in the following

image:



As can be seen the door has all the fixing elements, hinges, and bolts. Thefire doorlock is also

mounted on the leaf.

Note: The set of handles, screws, bulb, square drive and wrench is included in the accessory

box accompanying the pallet (in this package also containsThe bar and setscrew for the

adjustment of certain hinges).

4 ‐ FIRE DOOR ASSEMBLY OPTIONS

It is possible to assemble the fire door in two different ways:

Receive on site with the help of frame anchors.

In this case one has to bend the frame anchor outwards to

then insert the door into the space.

Repeat the operation with all the anchors



After checking that the door is level, the space is filled and allowed to dry so that the anchors

are properly fixed.

Lastly, the door is opened and the plastic wedges are removed.

Screw to the wall using provided holes in the frame.

In those cases where screws are going to be used, perforations

in the frame have been made allowing countersunk head

screws to pass. M6.3x63.



When the door is open and level we begin to insert the screws on the inside of the frame:



When the door is assembled in the doorway, keeping the connecting strut is optional:

The connecting strut can be kept in place, as in the above image, or removed. This is process is

fast as the connecting strut is easily removable.

Eliminate connecting strut



5 ‐ ADJUSTING THE SPRING HINGE

In cases where the door incorporates a spring hinge with a closing effect, this can be regulated

with the aid of a bar and setscrew included in the handle box.

The regulation process is simple:

The bar is inserted into one of the axis holes and turned clockwise, opening the door to tense

the spring.



The setscrew is then placed into the fixing holes in order to maintain the spring in the

compressed position and obtain the closing force.

Finally the setscrew is held and the desired closing force is achieved.
