Does your kit have the same or similar part? Need to check what item c is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your kit have the same or similar part? The C bit is in the top of the rail . Anti slam just goes over it . Something has to hit that white rocker to trigger the anti slam but there isn’t anything . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Assuming I’ve got this right ... White anti slam has nothing to trigger it Edited March 30, 2020 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Ok . I decided to go AWOL ! I.e ignore instructions!! . I think I can get it working but it’s nothing like any of the instructions!!! . Not sure that’s classed as a good plan !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just had a quick look at the instructions. Your runner with the nut and bolt is the wrong way up. Not sure if it helps but probably best follow the instructions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwed it to a piece of wood to test how all this supposedly works - gone back to the double anti slam just too see ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Bet @Onoff just looks at anything work nicking in the background. Eclisse instructions are terrible because they send so many variations. None of them are particularly clear even if you stick with one set . So I assume this is correct because it appears to work ! . Next step stick it in the frame and get that pig of a door on it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 *#%^##^ ^#^*^#^ What a pig ! . Ok , I’m doing it on my own but ffs ! - with a 50kg door it’s a nightmare ! This is the single most thing I’ve sworn at on the entire build to date ! It’s on ‘loosely ‘ . Assuming I can adjust ( what minor adjustments there are ) it won’t be coming off again !! So the little ‘rollers’ that you fit on the finished floor before installing the door can f right off . I’ll cut them in half and glue them in . ffs !

Pocster Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 The next pita - the lock . Can see how it works . Turn and ‘arm’ comes out and hitched into tuning fork shape . So I’ve got to cut a recess into the steel frame ?!? . I really don’t get the ‘design’ of this entire system . It’s not thought out - everything’s a pita !

Months ago I briefly looked at the instructions ( all 4 versions ) and thought f this ! But alas as I have to build a stud wall over the door frame in the ensuite I have to do it some day . SWMBO of course thinks it looks fab ! . It is smart - but installation designed by an idiot . I can drill the steel - but that will look shite . Why they couldn’t supply a decent catch ( strike ? ) plate I don’t know . Then at least it could over up the hole that’s a mess . Not sure what to do on this . Better eBay see if there is a multi tool steel cutter blade . I hate things like this because you only have one chance . ? . I need like 5 attempts before I get it right .

I would prob go for a series of small drill holes, going larger to link them, and then file it out...... Ok. Ok. I would bin the lock.

What a great job, when faced with such adversity, ( shite instructions ) you are doing That’s really appreciated. There are hurdles still to be overcome ( ignoring the lock ) . You are meant to install on the finished floor . But as it’s going in a wall that’s kind of tricky . Tiling the floor is going to be one of the last jobs . So when I get to that I’ve only guessed the door will clear the tiled floor . That’ll be funny if it doesn’t !

Pocster Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Irate , rude , obnoxious , blunt , pissy email sent to Eclisse . I’m in a bad mood now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Eclisse have already replied . Obviously want to push this to the seller . I didn’t buy direct from Eclisse as I got a slightly better price elsewhere . So email number 2 on route . Too be fair the seller just sold me the door asked for - I’d been talking to Eclisse in the past and choose from their website .
