RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS

Pty Ltd., Australia. Twin leaf design, horizontally hinged and counterweight balanced to
lift vertically into a folded position. (When specifying, please state type of glazing or
type and colour of metal cladding).
STANDARD DESIGN
The doors are constructed from rectangular steel hollow section and suitably braced and
trussed for minimum deflection in the open and closed position. The standard design is
based on 0.5 kPa wind load. (This may be altered to suit particular situations. The
desired wind load must be stated when specifying).
OPENING
Ensure the opening is plumb and true and there needs to be sufficient clearance, at the
front and at the rear of the opening to allow for door travel (ie. Forward and Internal
Projection). Adequate head room and nib room also needs to be considered.
