Mounting Surface Preparation:
1. With the hinge open, place the frame leaf against the mounting surface making certain that the alignment rib is flush against the face of the mounting surface along its entire length. Center the hinge within the opening. Mark and center punch the screw hole locations. Accurate location is important for proper hinge installation.
2. For wood and metal, drill pilot holes using a 1/8" (3.2 mm) bit. For fiberglass, drill pilot holes using a 9/64" (3.6 mm) bit. Do not attach the hinge at this time.Â

Door Preparation:
1. With the hinge open, place the door leaf against the edge of the door making certain that the alignment rib is flush against the face of the door along its entire length. Center the hinge on the door. Mark and center punch the screw hole locations. Accurate location is important for proper hinge installation.Â
2. For wood and metal doors, drill pilot holes using a 1/8" (3.2mm)bit. For fiberglass doors, drill pilot holes using a 9/64" (3.6mm) bit. Attach the hinge to the door using the #8 truss head screws provided.
Â
Â
Â
Hanging the Door:
1. Position the door (with hinge attached) at 90 degrees to the mounting surface. Attach the hinge using the #8 truss head screws provided.
2. Make a gentle trial swing. Carefully check the door for proper swing and clearance.
Â

Â
Â
Â
Adjusting the Door:
1. If lateral adjustment is required because of excessive or uneven mounting clearance, adjust by loosening or removing the screws of the frame leaf and shimming where needed.
a. An effective shimming material is 5/8" strips of cloth duct tape. Apply tape to the mounting surface underneath the hinge leaf in stepped layers to build up the desired thickness.
b. In a similar manner, a thin continuous plastic or aluminum strip may be used between the mounting surface and the hinge leaf to adjust the entire door.
2.  Retighten all screws. Make a gentle trial swing.  Carefully check the door for proper swing and clearance.
