3. ATTACH HINGE Z-BAR ASSEMBLY TO DOOR:
A. To determine which end of Z-bar is top, hold Z-bar up to door opening to side you desire to
be hinged. The screw track will be on left side for left hinge installation and to right for right
hinge installation. MARK TOP OF Z-BAR WITH TAPE.
B. Set door on edge with hinge edge facing up. Locate the second and third edge cover
screw (counting down from top of door). Remove both screws.
C. Place the Z-bar against the edge of the door, as shown in graphic 3C/D, and position the
top of the Z-bar 1/4" beyond the top of the door frame. The top hole of the second hinge from
the door top and the bottom hole of the third hinge from the door top should line up with the
holes in the door edge left by removing the screws in the previous step.
D. Replace the two (2) screws previously removed with #8 x 1" unpainted screws. Drill 1/8"
pilot holes perpendicular to the door edge and through the remaining holes in the middle two
(2) hinges and secure with #8 x 1" unpainted screws. With the two (2) middle two hinges
secure to the door, repeat the same procedure for the remaining two (2) hinges.
Note: Do not overtighten hinge screws
