STEP 4 – REINSTALLING THE FIREPLACE DOORS
The fireplace door frame installation is now complete. The door frame has been checked for
correct level with the face of the fireplace, the door frame has been checked for being
securely fastened to the fireplace wall, and the installer and homeowner are satisfied with
the look of the doorframe’s installation. Now it is time to reattach the doors. The left door
should be installed first. Remember that the left door handle is only used to open and close
(pull/push) the left door. Carefully set the left door onto its appropriate door hinges. Now repeat
the installation process for the right door. The installer should take care not to drag the fireplace
doors across the face of the door frame as damage to the painted frame will occur. Once the doors
are in place, ensure that they open, close, and properly lock in place. FIGURE 10 shows a set of
500 doors set in the door frame. Now is the time for adjusting the hinge pins, if necessary. The
doors and hinges were adjusted at the factory and no adjustment should be necessary unless the
hinges have been removed or harsh handling has occurred.
The next step is to install the brass pins into the top of each door hinge. Four brass pins were
provided with the door frame system. These brass pins are for aesthetic purposes. They can be
used or stored away per the homeowner’s direction. NOTE: The 500 Door System uses ¼ inch
brass pins to match the ¼ inch hinge holes whereas the 400 Door Systems uses
5/16 inch brass pins
to match the 5/16 hinge holes.
