Care and Maintenance
INSTALLATION •
The utility or structural strength of the doors must not be impaired when fitting to the opening, in applying hardware, in preparing for lites and/or louvers, plant-ons or any other detailing. • It is recommended to use two hinges on solid core doors measuring up to 60" in height, three hinges for up to 90" in height or portion thereof. Use heavyweight hinges on doors that weigh over 175 lbs. Pivot hinges may be also be used in lieu of hinges. Consult hinge manufacturer for more information regarding installation. • There should be a minimum clearance of 1/16" on hinge edge between door edges and door frame. And 1/8" clearance for latch edge and top rail. • All hardware locations, methods of attachment, and preparations must be appropriate for the specific door construction. Templates for specific hardware preparation can be obtained from the hardware manufacturers or their authorized distributors. • When lite or louver cutouts are made for exterior doors, metal flashing on cutouts is required to prevent water from entering the door core. • Pilot holes must be drilled for all screws used as hardware attachments. Full threaded screws are preferred when used as fastening hardware to non-rated and are required to fire-rated doors. Combination wood/ metal or self-tapping screws are not to be used on wood doors. • In fitting non-rated doors for height, do not trim the top or bottom edge more than 3/4" unless accommodated additional blocking.
• Trimming of fire-rated doors must be in accordance with NFPA80. • Doors and door frames must be installed plumb, square, and level.
• All fire-rated doors must be installed in accordance to NFPA80 and must be pre-fit and machined by Eagle Architectural Door or a licensed machiner. While it is not recommended to cut doors for openings smaller than those for which they are manufactured, licensed machiners may bevel the stiles at the rate of 1/8" in 2" so proper clearance can be maintaned.
