STEP 1
Mark holes for attaching hinge bracket
to door jamb. Use the dimensions given
in Diagram A or use the hinge bracket
as a template as shown in Diagram B.
For the gravity hinge to work properly
it MUST be centered, plumb, and
squared in the jamb. The top of the
hinge bracket should be mounted at
least 2” from the top of the door jamb.
NOTE: Shims may be required to ensure
hinge is mounted plumb and square.
STEP 2
Drill holes and attach hinge bracket
using appropriate fasteners for the
application.
NOTE: The hinge may also be welded
to the door frame if desired.
STEP 3
Once the hinge is mounted properly,
the door panel can be mounted. Have
one person hold the panel up to the
hinge plate while the other mounts
the panel using the supplied barrel nuts
and truss head screws. Hold the black
flap back while attaching the hinge
plate to the door panel as shown in
Diagram C. Tighten all screws and
repeat for other door panel if necessary.
STEP 4
After completing the installation, the
door panels may be trimmed using a
utility knife as needed.
