C. Install entrances plumb and true in alignment with established lines and grades without warp or rack. Lubricate operating hardware and other moving parts according to hardware manufacturers' written instructions.

1. Install surface-mounted hardware according to manufacturer's written instructions using concealed fasteners to greatest extent possible.

D. Install partition components in the longest possible lengths; components up to 48 inches (1200 mm) long must be one piece. Fasten to suspended ceiling grid on maximum 48-inch (1200-mm) centers, using sheet metal screws or other fasteners approved by frame manufacturer.

1. Use concealed installation clips to ensure that splices and connections are tightly butted and properly aligned.

2. Secure clips to main structural extrusion components and not to snap-in or trim members. 3. Do not leave screws or other fasteners exposed to view when installation is complete.

E. Erection Tolerances: Install entrance and storefront systems to comply with the following maximum tolerances:

1. Variation from Plane: Limit variation from plane or location shown to 1/8 inch in 12 feet (3 mm in 3.7 m); 1/4 inch (6 mm) over total length.

2. Alignment: Where surfaces abut in line, limit offset from true alignment to 1/16 inch (1.5 mm). Where surfaces meet at corners, limit offset from true alignment to 1/32 inch (0.8 mm).

F. Diagonal Measurements: Limit difference between diagonal measurements to 1/8 inch (3 mm). 3.3 CLEANING AND ADJUSTING

A. Clean exposed frames promptly after installation, using cleaning methods recommended by frame manufacturer.

1. Clean and maintain anodized aluminum according to AAMA 609.

B. Touch up marred areas so touchup is not visible from a distance of 48 inches (1200 mm). Remove and replace frames with damaged finish that cannot be satisfactorily repaired.

3.4 PROTECTION

A. Provide protection required to ensure that framing will be without damage or deterioration on Substantial Completion.
