2 - Mounting options:

Door stops/hinges are generally possible on both sides of the frame.

Door openings are generally possible into the room or the corridor .

This is just a general rule; these details will be covered later in point 3 of the configuration and do not need to be considered here.

We distinguish between the following basic installation variants:

Installation situation A:

The door frame is mounted on the wall from the outside and screwed through the wall with threaded rods. Walls on both sides are wide enough to accommodate the frame.

When the door opens into the room, the doorway dimension is reduced by the thickness of the door, approximately 100 mm. When the door opens into the hallway, the existing width of the wall cutout can even be retained as the doorway dimension by widening the frame. We explain how this works in the example below and in point 3.

Illustration:

Installation situation B:

Here, the door frame is placed against the wall from the inside of the room and screwed into the wall from the inside. Walls on both sides are wide enough to accommodate the frame.

When the door opens into the hallway, the doorway dimension is reduced by the thickness of the door, approx. 100mm. However, when the door opens into the room, the existing width of the wall cutout can even be retained as the doorway dimension by widening the frame. More on this later.

Illustration:

Installation situation C:

If the gun room door is to be mounted in a sufficiently wide door jamb, variant C is recommended. Mounting brackets (see point 7 of the configuration) are required here to ensure the screw connection is as centrally as possible in the jamb to achieve the highest possible stability.

Basically, we reduce the height and width of the frame by at least 10mm so that the door can still be pushed into the cutout.

After installation, connections are simply sprayed/plastered with acrylic.

When installing in the reveal, please note that the door opening dimensions will change significantly in height and width. In height, this is a maximum of 150mm (100mm frame profile at the top, 50mm base profile at the bottom) and a minimum of 70mm (60mm frame profile at the top and 10mm frame profile at the bottom). In width, this is a maximum of 300mm (100mm frame profile on the left, 100mm frame profile on the right, door thickness 100mm) and a minimum of 220mm (60mm frame profile on the left, 60mm frame profile on the right, door thickness 100mm).

Here is an example calculation for the minimum and maximum door opening. There are of course also intermediate solutions that are possible but not explicitly considered here:

Min. reveal height 2000mm, min. reveal width 800mm, 10mm clearance for fitting, door thickness is always 100mm, to be considered in the width :

• Frame profile top, left and right 100mm each, foot profile 50mm:
• Door passage height 1840mm (2000mm reveal height-10mm clearance-100mm top profile-50mm bottom profile)
• Door passage width 490mm (800mm reveal width -10mm air gap -100mm door thickness -100mm left profile -100mm right profile).
• Pretty tight.
• For a doorway width of 490mm, the door base would be the Dresden model.

• Frame profile top, left and right 60mm each, foot profile 10mm:
• Door passage height 1920mm (2000mm reveal height -10mm air -60mm upper profile -10mm floor profile),
• Door passage width 570mm (800mm reveal width -10mm air gap -100mm door thickness -60mm left profile -60mm right profile).
• Not a lot, but you can see that the use of different frame profiles alone creates more comfort in terms of the passage dimensions.
• However, with a doorway width of 570mm, the door base would be the Leipzig model!

Installation situation D:

The special feature here is that there is an incoming wall and a transverse wall (marked in yellow) without a stop. The green markings show how the door is screwed to these two walls; this can be done from the room or corridor side.

Illustration:

Type D stands for installation on the aisle side or in the reveal. If the door is not installed in the reveal, but against the wall from the outside, the following tip can be used to achieve the largest possible doorway width:

Tip: If you use a narrow 60mm frame profile on the transverse wall, place the door hinge on the side of the incoming wall, and allow the door opening to open inward when mounted on the room side and outward when mounted on the corridor side, you can widen the frame by the thickness of the door = 100mm. This would only limit the width of your doorway by the 60mm of the frame profile on the transverse wall. This tip can, of course, also be applied to installation situations where the installation is not directly in the reveal.

Here is a simple sketch for easier understanding, of a door with a 100mm frame profile. This of course also works with the narrower 60mm frame profile, which of course opens up many possibilities:

Installation situation E:

Type E stands for direct mounting in the wall reveal, i.e. it essentially corresponds to type C, but with direct mounting without the use of mounting brackets.

Illustration:

Assembly situation F:

Type F is analogous to Type D, but the difference is that it is mounted from the inside of the room.
