Installation

Ensure that the structural opening is at least 5mm larger than the panel size (back of frame size). For example, a 600x600mm panel size requires a 605x605mm hole size. You don't need to remove the door; simply open the panel using the budget lock key provided and place the panel into the aperture.

Tighten the FlipFix device by using the fixing screw behind the door leaf to clamp it onto the back of the plasterboard. The FlipFix device can cover boards from 8mm to 32mm. Check that the frame is square by measuring corner to corner. Lock the door in place; the door and frame should be flush. Congratulations, you've just saved yourself 20 minutes.

The FlipFix device is activated by turning the screw using a standard drill. The device then travels along the screw until it firmly clamps onto the rear of the surround.

(Please note that before applying the plaster skim coat, it is important to apply a joint filler and a scrim tape over the junction between the beaded frame and the plasterboard to prevent cracking of the skim coat).
