A. All uncut standard length hinges are non-handed and can be used for right or left hand doors.
B. Standard length hinges are supplied slightly shorter than nominal door height to accommodate threshold and carpeting clearances.
CUTTING THE HINGE TO FIT

• Keep hinge in the closed position
• Determine HANDING if required. Not all hinges will become handed after cutting.
• Cut one end of the hinge only. Cut end will be installed at the bottom (Six-hole pattern remains at the top)
• Use a Metal Cutting Saw cut through the gear cap first.
  Note: If cut length interferes with a set screw bearing remove it and switch it with a plain bearing above the cut location.

FRAME PREP

ATTACHING DOOR TO FRAME

1. Position door 90 degrees to frame
2. Shim door to the proper height to line up the screw holes in hinge frame leaf with the marks at the top of the frame.
3. Install two screws at the top of the hinge to hold in place

5. Check door for proper swing and clearance before installing remaining screws, making necessary adjustments.
6. Install the remaining fasteners after any adjustments are made.

REINFORCING AND RIVNUTS

• No reinforcing is necessary except on extremely high-frequency, extremely heavy or extra-wide doors.
• Rivne’s are recommended for use in the frame when the door exceeds 450lbs.
  Note: RIVNUTS are not to be used with Fire Rated Hinges

PAIRS OF DOORS WITH MULLIONS
