STEP 8 - Lift Handle Attachment
Lift Handle Preparation
If you have a 2” thick door, no modications to the lift
handle are necessary. If you have a 1-3/8” thick door, cut
the stems on the lift handle along the ridge line using a
hacksaw (Fig. 8-A).
Bottom Section
From the front side of the section, drill (2) 1/2" holes through
the section according to the Bottom Section Hole Pattern (FIG.
8-C). A T-Square should be used to ensure that they are
vertically in line. If your door has an outside keyed lock, the
hole pattern should be drilled on the bottom section directly
below the lock. If your door does not have an outside keyed
lock, the hole pattern should be drilled directly below the hinge
closest to the horizontal center of the door. Install the lift handle
& inside step plate assembly using (2) #14 x 5/8" sheet metal
screws (Fig. 8-B).
IMPORTANT: Use a wrench or a socket to drive screws.
Do not over tighten. Do not use an electric drill or driver.
2nd Section (to be installed at the completion of Step 9-4.
Not Required on Doors with Outside Keyed Lock)
From the front side of the section, drill (2) 1/2" holes through
the section according to the 2nd Section Hole Pattern (FIG.
8-C). A T-Square should be used to ensure that they are
vertically in line. The hole pattern should be drilled directly
above the hinge closest to the horizontal center of the door.
