The frameless stiles (vertical member) are bonded to the back of the penciled or beveled mirror edge. A protective edge is an integral part of the stile that protects the mirror without taking away from the aesthetics of the frameless look. The rails (horizontal member) shall provide a mechanical fitting at the top and the bottom.
The stiles and rails shall be joined at each corner by unhanded connectors that snap into position, are positively fastened, but can be removed for changing of mirror panels. Bottom connectors shall have either ball bearing rollers or solid acetal plain bearing wheels both with an integral floating anti-jump housing. Top connectors shall have a solid plastic guide permanently attached to the connector housing which provides a snug fit with the top track. The plastic guide will adjust to different positions to ensure an optimum fit. Vertical adjustment is 1 1/8" on the bottom and 1 ¼" on the top.
The top and bottom track will be made of .050 aluminum. The bottom track shall be pre-finished and not exceed 5/16" from the floor. Both tracks shall match the stile and rail. An aluminum pull attached to the side of the panel is used to operate the door. The pull finish shall match the stile, rail and tracks.
The stile, rail, top track, bottom track and pulls will have a bright silver or bright gold anodized aluminum finish or a white baked enamel paint finish.
The mirrors will be 1/8" (3mm) thick and backed with a vinyl laminate to conform to Government Specification DD-M-00411(b) , ANSI Standard Z-97.1-1975 and CFR Part 1201, Category II.
