After setting the door assembly on top of the Bottom P-Seal, one person pulls down on the door to compress the
Bottom P-Seal. Another person attaches the bottom plate of hinge to the Hinge Board with (3) #10 x 1" self-tapping
hex head screws. Tighten down the screw head until it comes in contact with the hinge. See Figure 16.

This hole is to close to the top of the Hinge Board. A screw going into this hole can drill into the seal.
NOTE: Do not over tighten hinge screws.

Board.
After mounting the door, no outside light should show and air should not pass between the door and the P-Seal.
