7. GLASS/TRIM
A gilt trim fitted around firedoor glass comes as standard. It clips on to the small lugs at the top and bottom of
the aperture in the cast iron firedoor, as a "spring fit". When fitted, the trim locks the glass retaining clips in
position. (see fig 9).
If necessary the glass can be removed as follows:
• Remove the gilt trim by pressing on the curved edge at the top until the trim can be disengaged from the lugs.
• Slide the two glass retainer clips on one side only inwards towards the centre of the door as far as they will
go.
• Pull this side of the glass away from the door casting, easing the tags on the glass retaining clips past the
edge of the aperture in the door casting.
• Remove the glass completely and store glass retaining clips and white gasket (if sound) safely for re-use.
• Follow this procedure in reverse to fit replacement door glass or gasket.
The fire door should be lifted off the hinges so that the above operations can be carried out on a work
bench or similar surface.
