Helpful Tip:
 Clamp down the door to prevent it 
from moving.

 hanging based on your skill level. 
 2C Cut out the correct size template. Match the
 marked lines on the door with the shoulder and center 
 lines on the template. Tape the template in place and 
 carefully trace template. Make sure to trace under-
 neath tape and connect the corners. Now, remove the
 template and any excess tape from the door. 
NOTICE
When applying cutting template there should be a 
minimum of 3” between the bottom and sides of the 
door and the outer edge of the cutting template to 
maintain the structural integrity of the door.

cutting is required. If installing in a wall, reduce cut-
out width by 1” for the Small and Medium. For the 
Large reduce cut-out width by 1” and cut-out height
