Performance

• For internal use only, in areas of normal humidity

Frame

Picture frame (PF): a visible, flush faced frame, for panels installed after all finishing work is complete, such as retrofit into a finished wall or ceiling.

Size specification

• All dimensions are in mm, and the size (X x Y) is the outside rear frame size
• Doors hinge along dimension Y, so rectangular panels hinge on the long side
• Structural opening required: (X + 5) x (Y + 5), for example 605 x 605 mm for a 600 x 600 mm panel
• Panels are made to size and cannot be cut down

Sizes available

Operation

Remove the white cap from the door face, insert the supplied 8 mm T-bar key into the keyhole, turn to unlatch and pull the door open. The door sits on a concealed pivot hinge and lifts off for fitting or replacement.

Installation

Openings in dry lined walls and ceilings must be properly formed and supported to take the weight of the panel and the forces of opening and closing. Fix with at least No. 6 steel plasterboard screws into plasterboard, or M6 steel anchors into masonry. Full fixing details are in the installation instructions below.
