INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DETERMINING IF THE RISER BAR IS NEEDED

• You may or may not need to install the riser bar, depending on the height of your fireplace.
• To determine if you need the riser bar, place the glass door unit in front of your fireplace to see if it fits your fireplace opening.
• If the top of the glass door unit does not reach the top of your fireplace opening, you can install the Riser Bar to the bottom of the unit to add extra height to the unit.

1. RISER BAR INSTALLATION
To attach the riser bar:

• Lay the unit face down onset flat surface.

• Attach the Riser Bar (M) to the bottom of the unit by inserting the Long Machine Screws (G) through the holes in the Riser Bar and the holes on the bottom of the
  unit, as shown.

• Secure the Long Machine Screws using the Hex Nuts (H), as shown.

Hardware Used
G Long Machine Screws (x2)
H Hex Nuts (x2)

2. INSERTING THE INSULATION

• Be sure to wear work gloves while handling the insulation strips.
• Trim insulation strips to fit with scissors.
• Lay the unit face down on a soft flat surface.
• Insert the Wide (L) and Narrow (K) Strips of Fiberglass Insulation into the wide and narrow gaps on the back of the unit, including the Riser Bar.

3. LOCATING THE LINTEL BAR

• The lintel bar is the L-shaped metal bar that runs along the top of the inside opening of your fireplace, holding the bricks in place.

5. ASSEMBLING THE BRACKETS
Before attaching the unit to your lintel bar, you have to assemble the brackets.

• You will use either the Long T-Brackets (A) or the Short T-Brackets (B) to attach the unit to your fireplace, depending on the width of your lintel bar.
• Use a measuring tape to measure the width of your lintel bar, measuring from the back of the lintel bar to the front of your fireplace.
• Use the width measurement of your lintel bar to determine whether you will need the Long T-Brackets or the Short T-Brackets.
• Assemble the 2 T-Brackets (long or short) to the 2 Lintel Clamps (C), using the Short Machine Screws (J).
• Do not over-tighten the machine screws yet. Leave them loose. You will tighten them later when you adjust the width of the clamp.
• Insert the Short Thumb Screws (F) into the back of the Lintel Clamps, as shown.

NOTE: You can assemble the T-Brackets to the Lintel Clamps either face-up or face-down (as shown), depending on the height of your fireplace. Try it face-up first. If the clamps do not fit your fireplace properly, you can always go back and re-assemble them face-down.

This part of the installation might require 2 people – one person to hold the unit in place, while the other person clamps the unit to the fireplace.)

• Insert the “T” of each T-Bracket into the slots found on the back of the door unit. Insert each “T” vertically into the slot, and then turn it until it’s horizontal. The assembled T-Brackets/Lintel Clamps should now be hanging loosely in the slots.

7A. ATTACHING THE UNIT TO YOUR LINTEL BAR

• Open both the glass doors and the screen doors on the unit.
• With the doors open, place the unit against the front of your fireplace opening. (This is where you may  need assistance holding the unit in place while you clamp it to the lintel bar.)
• With the unit in place, reach inside the fireplace   and position the T-Bracket/Lintel Clamp over the lintel bar.
• Adjust the width of the T-Bracket/Lintel Clamp until it is snugly grasping the lintel bar and tighten the Small Machine Screw.
• With the T-Bracket/Lintel Clamp fitting snugly over  the lintel bar, tighten the thumb screw until the unit is held firmly in place.
• With both thumb screws securely tightened, the unit is now firmly attached to the top of your fireplace.

7B. ALTERNATE ATTACHMENT METHOD FOR THE TOP OF THE DOORS ONLY

Additional Tools Required: Electric Drill, 7/32” High Speed Steel Bit, Pencil and Safety Glasses
(RECOMMENDATION: This part of the installation might require 2 people – one person to hold the unit in place, while the other person measures and attaches the unit to the fireplace.)

• Attach the selected T-Bracket to the door. Place the glass doors against the fireplace opening and center.
• Use your pencil and mark through the T- Bracket, on the lintel. Mark both sides.
• Remove the glass doors and drill a 7/32″ hole into the lintel bar at each marked location.

8. SECURING THE BOTTOM OF THE UNIT TO THE WALL

•  Insert the 2 Long Thumbscrews (E) into the 2 Pressure Brackets (D), as shown.

• Tighten the Long Thumbscrew’s” until the point of each thumbscrew is digging into the brick on the side of your fireplace.
• If the thumbscrews do not reach the brick or are too long, you can reposition the Pressure Brackets by inserting them into a different set of holes on the unit.

 Your glass door unit is now securely attached to your fireplace!

• Loosen the 2 screws on one of the hinges.
  DO NOT remove the screws —just loosen them.

• Adjust the position of the door.

• Once the door is positioned properly, re-tighten the screws.

• If necessary, loosen the other hinge, adjust the door, and re-tighten.
