MOUNT HINGE
HEIGHT IN DOORWAY
SYNCHRONIZE PIVOT AXIS HEIGHT IN DOORWAY
Compare the pivot to pivot distance of the door with the measured doorway
height at the axis point.
Synchronize them if necessary, using a method described on the next page.
ADJUST HINGE HEIGHT / JOINT DIMENSIONS
To increase the joint dimensions, there are 3 methods:
- Use supplied shims between hinge and door leaf. This is the preferred method for the bottom hinge.
- Use supplied shims between hinge and floor/ceiling (= less stable).
- Adjust the inbus screws to move the hinge further away from the door leaf (loosen 4 hinge screws first).
CHECK PIVOT TO PIVOT DISTANCE
Double check the pivot to pivot distance of the door with the measured doorway
height at the axis point.
StealthPivot NL and StealthPivot XL share identical installation
steps
COLOR SAW CUTS
Degrease the saw cuts and use the supplied marker to paint the cuts.
Isopropyl alcohol
Remove excessive paint from visual sides with acetone or alike
INSERT EPDM GLRMIMA
- Remove the wheel and install it onto the PAP-MMTOOL
- Insert the GLRMIMA into the center of the profile
- Use the guide to push in GLRMIMA all the way through
- Cut off any excess GLRMIMA
INSERT GLR68 RUBBER EXTRUSIONS
The GLR68 rubber can be used for 6 or 8 mm glass because of its excentric profile shape. However the minimax door always uses 8 mm tempered glass, so you must insert the GLR68 as shown.
GLR68 profile shape:
- Cut off a strip from the start of the GLR68. For 8 mm glass, cut off the LONG side.
- Guide the GLR68 through the canal, with the thin side towards the center of the profile.
- Pull the thin side out, and use this to pull the GLR68 through the aluminium profile.
- Pull all the way through, leaving a bit extra hanging out.
- Cut this end at a 45° angle.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for the second GLR68
- Cut off both remaining ends at the other side.
INSERT CORNER JOINTS
Depending on the door configuration (see visuals below), 2 or 4 corners need
to be prepared with corner joints.
Insert the corner joints in the vertical profiles colored red in visual.
MOUNT PROFILES ON GLASS
-
Use 2 wooden spacers (+-15 mm thick) on an assembly table and place the locally purchased panel on top.
-
Push the top and bottom profiles with GLR68 and GLRMIMA over the panel.
Use a rubber hammer to facilitate positioning. -
Attach each profile to the alu GMHD with the PAP-MMVS connectors as shown.
-
Carefully push the left and right profiles with their corner joints into the top and bottom profiles, and over the panel.
-
Push in the excess GLR68 into the profiles during mounting.
-
Use a rubber hammer to facilitate positioning.
SECURE CORNER JOINTS
Align the profiles as best as possible, and carefully tighten the inbus screws
BY HAND! Over-tightening will damage the corner joint!
During tightening, the space between the profiles will dissappear.
You can use quick-grips to prevent the profiles from shifting up and down during tightening.
POSITIONING MAGNETS
We advise to install the optional 2-way positioning magnet(s) onto the
doorframe.
**Always put NORTH side up on doors (so you can use SOUTH side for counter
magnets).
(For counter magnets on the ceiling and/or 1-way operation, see ‘Door
installation manual’)
