How to prepare for a composite door installation?
Buying the composite door of your dreams is not a problem, the main thing is to install it correctly.

- Measure the required distance on the box.
- Cut the box to height.
Installing the lock mechanism
The lock mechanism recommended by the manufacturer is installed in a special groove made at the factory. The leaf is supplied with a mounting hole for installing the handle (the distance from the bottom of the door leaf to the hole for the handle is 1050 mm).
Installing the door block in the wall
Install the door block in the opening and fix it with wooden wedges so that the block is stationary. After checking the correct installation of the block in the opening, it is necessary to drill mounting holes and fix the door frame to the surface of the opening using anchor bolts. The door frame in the mounting opening should be fixed rigidly, with four anchors for each vertical post, strictly maintaining verticality in level, excluding the possibility of any movement of the frame profile.
