How to Hang Hoarding Doors

Door sizes, timber packers, hinge mounting & offset upright requirements

Door Dimensions

NXGN hoarding doorways use standard internal door sizes. The maximum door opening width (DOW) is 1850mm. Common configurations use a combination of D1 and D2 doors for wider openings.

Door TypeWidth (mm)Height (mm)
D1 (Standard)8202040
D2 (Wide)8702040
D1 + D2 Combination1700 (DOW)2040
Maximum Door Opening Width: 1850mm

Door Construction — Flush Finish

To achieve a flush finish between the door face and the hoarding face, 70×45mm timber packers are fixed to the back of the door. These packers bring the door face forward to sit flush with the 9mm skin on the hoarding panels. The door hinges are mounted on these packers.

  • Packer Size: 70×45mm Timber
  • Fixed to the back of the door at hinge positions
  • Hinges mount directly to the timber packers
  • Creates a flush, professional finish on the face of the hoarding

Offset Upright Requirement

Doors in NXGN hoardings are inward-hinged (they open into the works area, not into the public space). This means the weight blocks would obstruct the door swing if a standard upright were placed at the door frame.

To solve this, an Offset Upright is installed at each doorway. The offset upright positions the weight blocks behind the hoarding run, clear of the door swing arc.

Installation Checklist

  • ✓ Confirm door opening width (DOW) does not exceed 1850mm
  • ✓ Install door head frame above the opening
  • ✓ Fix 70×45mm timber packers to back of door at hinge positions
  • ✓ Mount hinges to timber packers
  • ✓ Hang door — check it opens fully inward without obstruction
  • ✓ Install offset upright at each side of the doorway
  • ✓ Verify weight blocks are clear of the door swing
