ADJACENT DOOR
For use with frameless glass, framedglass, or solid wall.
30
Step 1
Measure fl oor to ceiling dimensions in area
where Beyond walls are to be installed.
Notes:
• Beyond doors have a standard built in ½"
undercut based on nominal height of
system ordered.
• In order for the Beyond system to maintain
a functional door, and not order diff erent
height doors, it can be lowered a maximum
of ¼" from nominal position, and raised
⅜"- 7⁄16". Any more up or down will cause
modifi cations of the door or replacement
doors of diff erent height.
Setting Panel Height
NOTE: It is important to ensure dimensions are taken around doors in the closed through the open position to
ensure the travel of the door while functioning will not contact the fl oor.

Step 2
Determine the starting point of leveling by
understanding the actual high and low spots
in relation to the doors.
In the example:
• The low spot would be 109¼''.
• The high spot would be 107¾''.
Understanding the target panel height:
• Ordered heights are a “nominal” height,
not the actual panel height. In order to
level properly, one must determine what
the proper “target” height is to start with
if fi eld conditions were perfectly nominal.
• Nominal height = 108".
• Proper leveled actual height of panels =
108'' – 1.125" = 106.875" target.
• This target height also creates the natural
built in ½" undercut to the doors.

Step 3
• Determining the new or adjusted nominal
and target heights. (Example continued)
– Low spot= 109 ¼".
– High spot= 107 ¾".
– Average between = 108 ½" “new nominal”
– The average will become the new
nominal dimension for the fl oor
to ceiling.
– Subtract the standard nominal fl oor to
ceiling dimension of 108" from the new
nominal dimension.
– 108.5" – 108" = + .5"
– Add the variance of the nominal diff erential
to the original target actual height:
– 106.875" + .5" = 107.375" (new target
height)
– This new target is the height at which
you will level the fi rst panel starting at
the high spot.
NOTE: Acceptable aesthetic and operating
range for functional undercuts are no less than
3⁄16" to no more than 13⁄16".
– If for instance, the dimensions behind the
door during opening became bigger, then
one might adjust another ¼" down and
re-establish the new target to 107.25".
This basically lessens the undercuts by an
additional ⅛". Likewise if the dimensions
are higher or tighter behind the door
then leaving where it is or possibly raising
another ⅛" may be required.Step 4
Validating the target height to the functional
undercut of the doors.
• 107.375 is your new actual fl oor to top of
Beyond panel dimension.
• To determine what the new target does to the
actual installed undercut:
• Doorway 1 = (109.25" - 1.125") - 107.375" = .75"
• Doorway 2 = (109" - 1.125") - 107.375" = .5"
• The undercut dimensions are well within
operating and acceptable guidelines.

Miscellaneous — Care and Maintenance Instructions
Following are suggested methods for safe and eff ective cleaning and maintenance of Beyond’s wall products, including glass panels, solid panels and extrusions.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to clean Beyond walls at least once per year. In coastal areas where the finish is exposed to salt spray or in areas containing heavy industrial pollutants, Beyond walls should be cleaned as part of a regular, ongoing maintenance program. For best care, avoid extreme temperatures and humidity. Maintain temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity levels between 30 and 50 percent.
GLASS SURFACESBeyond glass wall surfaces are very easy to maintain. Unless otherwise instructed by a Beyond Field Service Engineer, it is recommended to clean with warm water and a lint-free cloth (terry cloth). Conventional, non-abrasive glass cleaners may also be used with a lint-free cloth. All strongly alkaline caustic solutions as well as acids, especially hydrofl uoric acid, and cleaners containing fl uorides are unsuitable. Cleaning should begin with wetting the glass surface with clean water or a mild soap solution to loosen dirt. Using a neutral, non-abrasive commercial window washing solution, uniformly apply the solution to the glass surface with a brush, sponge, or other non-abrasive applicator. Immediately following the application of the cleaning solution, use a squeegee or lint-free cloth towel to remove all of the cleaning solution from the glass. Care should be taken to ensure that no abrasive particles are trapped between the glass and the cleaning materials. All water and cleaning solution residue should be dried immediately from gaskets, sealants, and frames to avoid the potential deterioration of these materials. It is strongly recommended to clean a small glass area or one window at a time, then stop and examine the surface for any undesirable impact to the glass.
SOLID PANELS
Vertical Surface Fabric
Remove as much soil or staining material as possible by carefully vacuuming, brushing or scraping with a dull instrument. Clean with shampoo, foam or dry cleaning solvents without saturating with liquid. Pile fabrics may require brushing to restore appearance.
Water-Borne Soil
Follow these directions for removing water-borne, non-greasy soil or stains (such as coff ee, milk, soft drinks, fruit juices, washable ink, etc.):
Gently apply a water-based cleaner (specifi cally made for cleaning fabric) to the soiled area using a clean cloth or sponge. Suitable cleaners include Bissell® Upholstery Shampoo, Woolite® Upholstery Shampoo, or Guardsman Fabri-Kleen®.
Work the cleaner into a lather or foam, if possible, to minimize soaking the fabric. With light brushing motions, apply from outside the soiled area toward the center to prevent rings.
Allow fabric to dry completely, and then vacuum thoroughly.
Oil-Borne Soil
Follow these directions for removing oil-borne soil or stains (such as salad dressing, grease, lipstick, ball-point ink, etc.):
Gently apply a dry-cleaning fl uid to the soiled area using a dampened cloth or soft-bristle brush.
With quick, light brush strokes, apply from outside the soiled area toward the center to prevent rings. Avoid soaking the fabric.
Gently blot with a clean, absorbent cloth to soak up and remove dampened soil.
Allow fabric to dry completely, and then vacuum thoroughly.
Large Areas
When large fabric areas must be cleaned, such as complete panels, it is recommended that you employ a professional cleaning fi rm that uses a dry-foam upholstery shampoo and an immediate wet pick-up vacuum system. Do not steam clean or use other methods that soak or heat the fabric.
Laminate and Metal
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove general soiling and water-borne stains. A hard-surface all-purpose cleaner (such as Formula 409, Fantastic, Top Job, Mr. Clean, etc.) may also be used. Oil-borne stains may require an application of dry-cleaning fl uid. Fill scratches in laminate surfaces with a coordinating oak, walnut, or mahogany putty stick (available at paint supply/hardware stores).
Wood
Use a cleaner or fl ax soap formulated especially for wood furniture. Dilute according to the manufacturer’s directions. Dampen (do not saturate) a soft cloth with the diluted cleaner and wipe surface in direction of the wood grain to remove dirt and fi ngerprints. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use cleaners containing oils or ammonia on wood surfaces.
85
Miscellaneous — Care and Maintenance Instructions
EXTRUSIONS
Powdercoat Paint
Clean using mild soap solutions, such as products that are safe for use with bare hands (avoid use of strong acid or alkali cleaners, as they may damage the fi nish). Solvents no stronger than mineral spirits or denatured alcohol may be used to remove grease, sealants or other materials. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or materials, such as steel wool or abrasive brushes, which may harm the surface. Never mix cleaners or cleaners and solvents as the resultant mixture can cause harmful or even dangerous results.
Anodized Aluminum
Clean using mild soap solutions, such as products that are safe for use with bare hands (avoid the use of strong acid or alkali cleaners). Apply solution with a soft cloth, sponge or brush. Severely soiled anodized surfaces may be cleaned more aggressively than painted surfaces, such as with a mildly abrasive scrubbing pad. Use the pad to remove the mark, then clean the surface using the mild soap solution. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Veneer Wrap
Do not use furniture polish. Instead, clean using mild soap solutions, such as products safe for use with bare hands (avoid the use of strong acid or alkali cleaners), to retain the original beauty of wood. Apply the solution with a soft cloth, sponge or brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the wood grain.
FIELD REPAIRS OF MINOR DAMAGE Some damage will inevitably occur and touch-up work will be required during or after installation. The good news is that minor scratches and rub marks on both painted and anodized surfaces can be easily repaired. Large dents or scratches will likely require replacement. A sample of the piece must be sent to Allsteel to get the best match.
Powdercoat Paint
Minor surface damage can be sanded with excellent results. For major scratches or gouges, use a relatively course grit paper to remove the damage, and then use progressively fi ner paper to remove the sanding marks, fi nishing with a 180 to 220 grit paper. Touchup paint is supplied with each installation. It comes in small aerosol cans or bottles with a built-in brush for easy application. It should be applied very sparingly, as it is intended to cover small blemishes or exposed ends on fabricated parts. It is not intended for use on large areas of more than a few square inches. The color will closely match the factory-applied painted fi nish; however, the fi nish is not as hard nor will it have the same performance as the baked-on fi nish.
To apply, clean the area to be touched up and wipe with denatured alcohol to remove any moisture or cleaning residue and apply per the instructions provided with the touchup kit.
Anodized Aluminum
Anodized material should not be sanded. Anodized surfaces are aluminum oxide, which is generally harder than the sandpaper. Most rub marks can simply be removed with a mild abrasive pad, such as Scotch-Brite®.
Veneer Wrap
Veneered extrusions with minor scratches can be mitigated with the supplied stain kit. For best results, engage a trained professional to complete this work.
