Fitting tips and hints - starting the job, and finishing it
Remember that fitting PVC-U is completely different to fitting wooden frames, and even an expert chippy would find that his experience and intuition would not apply to PVC-U, because unlike wood, plastic frames must be fitted to allow them to expand.

What is Toeing and Heeling, and why do it anyway?
PVC-U doors are heavy, and although the dead weight is supported on the hinge side when it is opened, there is nothing on the lock side to support the weight, and without the procedure of toeing and heeling the door will 'drop' on the handle side, sooner or later. To stop a door dropping the glass itself has to be braced diagonally corner to corner by the insertion of plastic packers slipped in the gap between the glass and frame, under the beading. On the hinge side the packers go at the bottom corner, whilst on the lock side, the packers go at the top (opposite) corner - get it?
