Close the door and align the end of the top mounting frame
with the outer edge of the hinge mounting frame. Position to
achieve a uniform gap between the top mounting frame and
the door.
Starting at the top of the latch mounting frame,

cut to length matching the angle of the sill.
Note: Notice the position of the weather-stripping.
Copy the cuts made in step 3H.
