Astragal Replacement
1. Open the active slab.
2. Remove the screws that
attach theastragal.
3. If the astragal doesn't
come off, there may be
adhesive tape holding it in
place. If so, carefully score
the joint between the
astragal and the slab.
4. Remove the astragal.
5. Fasten the new astragal
through the pre-drilled
holes in the same location
as the old astragal.
6. Install a foam wedge on
the passive slab at the
bottom with the thick
part against the leg of the
astragal asshown.
Because slab removal can be awkward and could cause
physical injury or product damage, we recommend the help of
additionalpeople.
1. Open slab about half way
and hold steady with the
help of a second person.
2. Only inswing standard
door hinges have
removable hinge pins.
With a small screwdriver
or nail punch and
hammer, drive hinge
pin from bottom hinge,
then working up to the
top hinge. Doors with
automatically closing
hinges or outswing doors require removing the screws from one
side of the hinge to remove the slab. Take extra precautions when
removing the spring loaded automatically closing hinges.
3. Remove slab from frame.
