General instructions:
• When collecting doors or frames, ensure they are not damaged before loading them.
• Ensure they are of the correct specifications.
• When loading, ensure the products will not be damaged when transported. Use
protective materials to prevent them from scratching.
• Make sure when walking over a client’s carpet that your shoes are clean, especially
when raining. You don’t want to mess up a clients’ carpet.
• Never place your tools or toolbox on the clients’ tiles or carpets.
• Transport your own rubber mat or other protective material to place toolbox or tools
on.
• Do not bump anything while carrying your tools or frames into the installation area.
• Handle all doors and frames very carefully to ensure they are not scratched or
damaged in any way when carrying.
• Before opening the product to be installed, ensure that the measurements are correct
by measuring the installation are and check by measuring the outer frame.
• Ensure all installation surfaces are free from protruding bits of cement or other
materials. Use hammer and chisel to carefully chip away.
• Ensure all surfaces are level before you start. Both horizontally and vertically.
• Before marking drilling areas on walls, use a metal detector to ensure there are no
water pipes or electric wires. Mark only areas where none of these are present.
• Do not drill through tiles on hammer action. Use a tile drill bit to avoid breaking the
tiles.
• Take extra care that the drill chuck does not come into contact with the tiles or frames
as this will cause permanent damage.
• Never drill on a client’s floor. This is sure to cause damage.
• Make sure that all dust from drilling has been cleaned before sealing.
• All surfaces must be clean and dry before sealing. You cannot seal on a damp or moist
surface.
