2.2 DOORS AND FRAMES
NOTE ** Automatic sliding doors usually come in complete packages including doors, frames, operators, and actuators. In addition, virtually any door type (aluminum, hollow metal, wood) can be substituted for the manufacturer's standard doors. Telescoping doors are available only in extruded aluminum ("Astro-Scopic"). The standard finishes for aluminum doors are dark bronze and natural anodized aluminum, but many other finishes are available, including Kynar(tm) and metal-clad.
A. Automatic Sliding Doors: Heavy duty anodized extruded aluminum header and jambs, with interlocked sections and thru-rod bolted connections; complete with doors, sidelights, transom, and all hardware and accessories; complying with ANSI/BHMA A156.10 and UL 325.

If doors have no sidelights (sliding into pockets or on outside face of building), consult the manufacturer for limitations on breakaway function, configuration of frame and header, and locking.
