TRACKING

Our doors have industry standard top and bottom rollers, you must have suitable tracking to accommodate these rollers. Below are the different tracking systems we support:

 

              BOTTOM PIP TRACK                                     TOP SLIDING TRACK OR TOP H TRACK

  

 

 

METHOD

1. Measuring from an existing screen door:

If you have an existing door, and you are happy with the fit then we suggest that you measure this door and use these measurements for your new door.

2. Measuring for a new screen door:

Door Height: Measure lengths at three to four points along the track; take this measurement from the top of the bottom track, to the bottom of the top track (1.1 & 1.2), deduct 12 mm from the shortest length and record this measurement.

If a variation of more than 4 mm exists this may result in the door not sliding properly, and additional tracking may have to be installed to make tracks parallel.

Interlocks

Frame Interlocks are supplied with all Seconline Sliding Security Screen Doors; 7mm Diamond doors are not security doors and are supplied with a side bug seal.

The purpose of interlocks is to lock the back of the sliding door into the fixed panel simultaneously as the door is closed into the locking position, this ensures that the door is locked on both sides.

A frame interlock is fixed to the back of the sliding door at the point of installation so as to have it interlock with the receiving interlock which is located on the fixed glass panel (1.3 & 1.4).

Need to install Receiving Interlocks?

If your doors do not have a receiving interlocks on the fixed glass panel and it is necessary for you to install them there are three different size receiving interlock:

• 7 mm
• 3 mm
• Flat interlock

Identifying precisely which receiving interlock is most suitable to your doors can be using the following methods:

• If the distance from the centre of the top and bottom track to the face edge of the fixed glass panel is greater than 20 mm then a 7 mm offset interlock is required.

• If the distance from the centre of the top and bottom track to the face edge of the fixed glass panel is less than 20 mm and greater than 16 mm then a 3 mm offset interlock is required.

• If the distance from the centre of the top and bottom track to the face edge of the fixed glass panel is less than 16 mm then a flat interlock is required.

 

Door width with a receiving interlock: Measure from the point where the lock striker will be mounted into the receiving channel (1.6) to the outside edge of receiving interlock on the fixed glass panel.

There are three different sized receiving interlocks:

• 3 mm offset interlock
• 7 mm offset interlock
• Flat interlock

3 mm offset interlock: When measuring for widths with 3 mm offset interlock allow no deductions.

7 mm offset interlock: When measuring for widths with 7 mm offset interlock allow no deductions.

Flat interlock: When measuring for a flat interlock add 10 mm to your initial door width measurement. The reason for this is to have the frame interlock that is to be located on the back of the door to have . The nature of flat interlock does not allow enough room for the frame interlock to go between itself and the fixed glass panel, therefore adding 10 mm will allow the frame interlock to locate behind the fixed glass panel to allow room.

Door width without a receiving interlock: If there is no receiving interlock and you elect to have a bug seal, measure to the back, glass side of the fixed panel. 

   1.6                                                          1.7

 

 THE LOCK SIDE IS DETERMINED FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

Lock Height: Take your lock measurement from the top of the bottom track, to the centre of where you want your lock handle. This will also be the centre of middle lock striker.

This measurement needs to be a minimum of 120 mm above the top of your existing solid door lock (1.8) or 60 mm below the bottom of your existing door lock handle (1.9).

    

1.8                                                                                         1.9

Please view all our guides provided before proceeding with your installation

You will need:

• Cordless Drill
• 3 mm Drill Bit
• 5/32 Drill Bit
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Hacksaw
• Pop Rivet Gun

 

1. Sliding the door

When you install a sliding door it is important to align top rollers to the top track first. Then lift the bottom rollers up on to the bottom track. Slide back and forth to make sure that you have rollers correctly on the track.

With a Phillips head screwdriver adjust roller screws located on the back inside of the door. Start with the bottom rollers adjusting them only to align the door square with the closing channel. Once the door is aligned then adjust top rollers down, only enough to take up and down movement out of the door. Test this frequently as you adjust them as over adjustment may cause excessive pressure on rollers, which may damage them.

  

2. Installing the lock

Once the correct roller adjustment is achieved, roll the door back and forth several times to allow them to bed in correctly. From the outside position with the lock striker receiver mounted in the lock, roll door into the closed position and mark side, top, and bottom of striker receiver as it sits in the receiving channel. Remove receiver striker and line up to the marks. Drill the top hole only in the centre of elongation with a 3 mm drill bit. Now fix the striker receiver to the receiving channel and adjust accordingly. Once the lock has been tested and is functioning correctly then drill and install the bottom screw.  

3. Installing the Frame Interlock

Put the door in the closed position. The back of the door should be approximately 5 mm over the fixed glass panel receiving interlock. Place the frame interlock provided on the back of the door so it fits into the fixed glass panel receiving interlock. Using a 5/32-drill bit, drill and pop rivet the frame interlock with the rivets provided. Slide back and forth to ensure correct function. In some cases it may be necessary to adjust length the of frame interlock, this can be done with a hacksaw.

  

4. Fitting the Bug Seal (If required in place of frame interlock)

Put the door in the closed position. The back of the door should be approximately 5 mm over the fixed glass panel. Place bug seal with brush hair facing the glass on the fixed glass panel. Make sure that you centre the seal so it misses top and bottom tracks. Drill and fix with 3 mm drill bit and pop rivets provided.
