- Open hinge and place frame leaf flat against face of frame leaving 1/8 inch gap between top of hinge and bottom of frame header, and edge of hinge frame leaf flush with inside edge of door frame.
- Mark hole locations on frame using center punch. A center punch is required to start self drilling screws accurately.
STEP 2 – Mount Hinge to Door
- Place door leaf of hinge against hinge edge of door so that top of hinge is flush with top of door and edge guard is flat on inside face of door.
- With hinge held firmly in place, use #10 x 1/2 inch self drilling screws to fasten leaf to metal door, or #10 x 1 inch wood screws to fasten leaf to wood door.
NOTE: Fasten top most screw first, and bottom most screw second making
sure that hinge is aligned correctly.
ALL HOLE LOCATIONS ON HINGE LEAF MUST BE FASTENED TO DOOR FOR PROPER
OPERATION. FAILURE TO INSTALL ALL FASTENERS WILL VOID WARRANTY AND UL FIRE
LABEL USTINGS.
STEP 3 – Mount Door to Frame
