upvc door and frame

[notnochippy]

hi, have tried to fix a upvc door and frame in today,wedged it using plastic packers supplied but evertime i opened the door the frame moves if i use expanding foam between frame and wall will this hold it in place to enable me to get the screws in, or will it distort the frame?

Have you screwed the frame to the outer frame/brick work?

I was gonna ask that but didn't want to sound patronising

javascript:emoticon('')hi u need to get your frame in square and plumb then take a sds drill and fix your frame in with 8 or 10mm x120mm frame fixings making sure u keep frame true when screwing up the fixings use your packers for this then when both sides fixed then use your foam.good luck!!javascript:emoticon('')

Don`t forget to smear it all around with white sanitary silicone - like a proper window fitter
