The plastic profile inside is empty, and the door canvas has some mass, so first time the fitness work is underway. All door sash are made of PVC material, and it is under the influence of mass they gradually deform. Sometimes, as a result of a poorly packaged package, the door canvas acquires not quite rectangular shape. Incorrect adjustment of the design by installers can lead to a violation in the operation of the mechanism.
