How to fit The Snapper
The Snapper is ideal for enabling the installation of any window size, particularly larger windows or if a fitter is
working alone on a single or small installation. It is not recommended as the primary fixture for patio sliders
or doors, although it can be used in conjunction with other fixtures to enable doors to be held in place whilst
adjustment and final fixings are being completed - enabling the fitter to work freely.
2. It isn’t
necessary
to use the
snapper on
the bottom
of the frame,
just the
sides and
top.
4. The glazed frame
completely can be
inserted.
3. Depending on the
size of the window it
is recommended to
space the snapper
approximately
600mm apart positioning the
snapper where
the frame has the
greatest strength.
1. Screw the Snapper to
the inside edge of the
window frame with the
glass in place.
5. The Snapper grips
the masonry holding
the window in place.
7. Correction and
adjustment of the
frame in the aperture
can now take place.
6. Tolerance of 1-15mm
(resisting movement in
the opposite direction).
8. Sealing and pointing
can now be completed.
Fitting time is reduced up to 50%. SENTINEL FIXINGS LTD
