FAQs Insect Protection Adapter

The adapter is suitable for inward opening balcony or patio doors, so-called surface offset doors are well suited, for semi-surface offset or flush closing doors further prerequisites have to be checked, the back of the package provides corresponding information. The adapter grips around the door frame, so to speak, a minimum of 15 mm width on the inner surface of the hinge-side frame facing the living space (see installation instructions) must also be given. 

The movable part of the clamping cheek of the adapter is pressed together on the door frame and then fixed with a hexagon socket screw. 

The outer clamping cheek of the adapter is equipped with a rubber layer to prevent scratching or slipping of the adapter and can be dismantled completely without damage. The inner clamping cheek may exert pressure on a surrounding rubber seal, but its sealing performance would be only slightly impaired even after disassembly.

No, unfortunately this is not possible, as the components are exclusively designed for the hinge technology of the folding door.

The adapter and the associated hinge elements are carried out alternatively from step 38 of the assembly instructions for the folding frame for doors. The instructions enclosed with the adapter show these steps. The assembly of the folding frame for door itself - i.e. the choice of the right size and the net attachment - is independent of this. 

The size settings for the folding frame for doors do not change due to the choice of mounting, regardless of whether adapters or hinges are used. So this is theoretically conceivable - even if you have already drilled holes in the door frame in this case.

Yes, this is possible, because the size settings for the folding frame for doors do not change due to the choice of mounting, regardless of whether adapters or hinges are used. 

Loosen the hexagon socket screws of the adapter by about 1.5 turns and press the clamping cheeks together forcefully - ideally with water pump pliers. If the rubber layers of the adapter do not make sufficient contact due to the profile geometry of the frame, a plastic or foam pad cut to size (e.g. from a dishcloth, shampoo bottle, double-sided adhesive foam tape) can help. 

The product can be disposed of in household waste.

The metal components can be sent for metal recycling.
