Installation Instructions

1. Prepare a clear, trimmed opening in the structure at least 5mm larger than the ordered panel size.
2. Cut out space for pivot hinges (approx. 10mm × 6mm) to ensure smooth operation.
3. Position the panel (door fitted in frame) and screw-fix using 50mm drywall screws through all pre-punched holes in the frame.
4. Finish the beaded frame as you would a standard plaster stop bead.
5. Skim coat carefully around the keyhole (SLIK system) for a neat finish.
6. To remove the door, release the pivot hinges. Always ensure hinges and retaining chains are secure when refitting.
