DOOR FRAME ASSEMBLY 

 

Each Door consists of: 
1 unhanded door post  
1 handed door post (handed post for left door is different profile to the handed right hand door post) 
3 infill panels (1 with pre fabricated lock hole) for lock barrel 
1 top and bottom door panels 
3 panels of glass which must be fitted during door assembly. 

It is not possible to fit glass after the 

door is built

 

 

From the main bag of fittings you require;  
2 door wheels 
1 clip on nylon door skid (this might already be fitted to the bottom door panel) 
2 lengths of black brush draught excluder with PVC carrier 
Door lock, self tapping screws and spring washers 
12’ glazing beading 
Door handles 
3 PVC Glass strips 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Left hand Door (viewed from outside) 
Identify the correct door posts

. The handed door post for the left hand door has a bolt channel, 

whereas the handed door post for the right hand door post does not

. (Key point). 

 

1. 

Place one unhanded post and the handed post for left hand door on a level surface roughly two 
feet apart with the bolt slots facing downwards. (Unhanded door post on the left, handed door 
post on the right). The top of each side post has two screw holes in it, the bottom has three. 

(Key point).

 Slide the glazing beading into the beading groove of each 

bar i.e. only one length of glazing beading per bar. 

 

2. 

Place the top, bottom and 3 infill panels in position as shown by the po-
sition of the screw holes in the side pieces and the panels. The top panel 
has the greenhouse name on it. The bottom panel has the edge for the 
door skid to fit on. The lower infill panel locks on to the bottom panel. 
The infill panel for the left hand door 

does not 

have a pre fabricated hole for the lock barrel. 

 
3. 

Fix the left hand door post to the door panels by screwing through the door side pieces into 
the holes provided in the edge of the panels with the self tapping screws. The screws will go 
in more easily and with out danger of trying to go crooked if you can put a small amount of 
grease on the screw before assembling the doors. Alternatively, you could insert the screws 
into the screw eyes of the door panels before assembling the door; this would have the effect 
of pre-self tapping the panels prior to assembly, making assembly easier. 

 

4. 

GLASS MUST BE FITTED TO EACH DOOR BEFORE THE 2ND DOOR POST IS
