Door Jambs Fixing, Finishing and Storage

Fixing To Framing
GoldenEdge HMR Grooved Door Jambs can be fixed through faces or edges with screws or nails.
NOTE: Ensure that the timber framing does not have a moisture content of 20% or more before fitting HMR Door Jambs.

Screwing
The best results are achieved with parallel thread screws such as the Twinfast or particle board screws. Conventional wood screws should not be used. Screws inserted into the edges should not be less than 25mm from the corners. It is important not to overtighten screws as this will reduce the holding strength.

Pilot Hole
A pilot hole is recommended to avoid splitting during edge screw fixing. Pilot holes should be drilled approximately 2-3mm beyond the expected insertion depth.
Screw Gauge Pilot Hole
4 1.5mm
5 1.8mm
6 2.0mm
7 2.2mm
8 2.5mm
9 2.8mm


Stapling and Nailing
Staples and nails can be used effectively for joint fitting. For best results it is helpful to add adhesive to the joint prior to assembly. When stapling it is important to have good control of air pressure to avoid excessive penetration of staples. For nailing use either annular, grooved or helical nails of 13 or 14 gauge, for best results.

Adhesives
Where staples or nails are being used, best results are achieved applying water resistant adhesive to the joint prior to assembly.

Sanding and Finishing
If edge sanding is required, use 120 grit paper followed by 240 or 320 grit paper for best results.

Painting
Prior to priming, stop all nail holes with solvent based wood dough and lightly sand. Brush, roller and spray application techniques may be used in accordance with paint manufacturers’ specifications.
