Fixing new build window and door frames

isettaman · 13 Feb 2009

Hi

The Brickies are building up the skin of my new garage and have set in the window, side door frame and front door frames.
What are the best fastenings I can use to secure them once the mortar has gone off?
I'm stuck because I'm used to pre drilling a wall, inserting a plug and then driving a screw/bolt through the timber, but with these, they are already in place, if that make sense?

They should already be fixed with frame cramps.

sounds like you're ok, but otherwise these "direct frame fixings"are very good. there are other brands as well.

Thanks gents

They were halfway up so I'll be using some through fixings to make sure the frames stay in place, especially the front doors!
