I bought two types of anchor plates, and none of them fit. I had to mount it as it is, but I think it won't affect the strength.
Constant alterations and "collective farm" - This is an integral part of self-construction. So in the installation of windows, I could not do without it.
In preparation for the installation of double-glazed windows, I studied in detail the issue of anchor plates, and I realized that there are several types of these plates, and accordingly the sizes too. But which ones will fit exactly my frames, it is not known ...
Therefore, when ordering windows, I asked them to bring me anchor plates that would fit my profile.
But they brought it in the end, not what is needed.
The distance between the hooks turned out to be less than necessary
The dealer through whom I made the order said that they do not matter at all, all the same, the plates are attached to the self-tapping screw.
✅ But his words did not really calm me down, and I decided to buy more other plates of the right size.
After looking at what is in the well-known "Leroy Merlin", I saw only two sizes: the one that I had and another, larger. And I was sure that this is what I need.
But in fact, these plates did not fit either. Only now they were not less, but more than necessary. And on this I tried to calm down, and having two types of plates, the wrong size, to think what to do with it... этим
And the way out was simple ...
Hammer on all these little things. But in order not to leave the load on the self-tapping screw alone, I rested against the frame with one of the hooks, from the outside, from where the wind loads act.
So, although somehow more reliable. Or maybe it's complacency ???
In any case, I realized that it is possible to choose the right anchor plates only if there are windows, knowing the exact dimensions. And so - it's a lottery.
But even in the case of a "loss", a solution can be found.
