| 3.2 | Holes are drilled into shopfront components in positions suitable for installing fixings to connect to brickwork, timber or stone. |
| 3.3 | Measurements of completed assembly and glazing order are checked against opening, and glazier is notified of changes as required. |
4 | Install assembly. | 4.1 | Bulkhead is raised into position using mechanical lifting equipment and secured to installed structure using fixing methods required to securely support installation. |
| 4.2 | Assembly is positioned into opening and braced allowing it to rest on packing at highest position in floor. |
| 4.3 | Datum line is transferred onto assembly and position is measured and transferred to all connecting points. |
| 4.4 | Assembly is installed to level using appropriate equipment for levelling process, plumbed off narrowest point of width, and packed to position. |
| 4.5 | Assembly is anchored at all connecting points according to specifications, doors are fitted and checked as square where applicable, and glazier is notified that assembly is ready for glass installation. |
| 4.6 | Door closures are checked to ensure that they face mount, floor or transom and that automatic and floor or head-fixed tracks operate freely. |
