Now begin to drill each of the marked screw holes. Place 
your wall plugs in, and bring the frame back, packing back in 
the same position as before. The drill holes should now all 
align.

Screw the frame securely into the wall and replace the panels as before, securing with the 
hinge pins. Should you need to, use the hinge packers 
supplied to make fine adjustments to the space between 
the closed panels.  You can also adjust the panels position 
vertically.

Now fully secure your hinges by tightening the screws and 
putting the final middle locking hinge screw in. For a clean 
finish, place caps into the drilled holes onto the frame.

Using your decorators caulk, seal any gaps around the frame.  You may also want to caulk 
the inside of the back of the frame. Afterwards, use a wet wipe to finish. 
 

 

 
To close the vanes, push the tilt rod upwards. Then, 

applying light pressure, run your hand upwards 
from 

the bottom to fully close them. When closing the 
panels, support the weight of the leading door, 
lift up slightly and place back into the frame. 

 

You may find over time that your slats lose some tension.  Not to worry, this can be adjusted by 
using the slat tension screws, which are located on the inside edge of the panels. A quarter turn of 
the screw is enough to tighten to mechanism.
