Before installing glass door frames, these are a few tips you need to bear in mind:

• The glass door frames should only be stacked together firmly in position, inclined against a wall, and don’t keep them stacked loosely.
• Keep them raised off the ground by placing pieces of timber or bricks underneath them, so that they can stand on them instead.
• Never keep the frames standing against a log or a post because that way they will always run the risk of permanent damages.
