FRAMED PANELS
The framed application is an overlay model with framed
design features. It is not a separate model.
If the custom panel is thinner than ⁄"
(6), a filler material
must be added to achieve a proper fit. If the panel is thicker
than ⁄"
(6), rout an edge around the panel or mount the
custom panel on a sheet of ⁄"
(6) thick material and insert
into the channel. Refer to the illustrations below.
Routing, recessing, or optional extended handles may be
required for finger clearance. Refer to the full-scale tem-
plate on page 30.
When installing two units side by side, refer to page 12 for
dual standard installations.
Custom Panels
For framed, overlay, and flush inset applications, custom
door panels must be provided. Handle hardware must also
be provided for overlay and flush inset applications. Refer
to Panel Requirements below and the charts on pages
18–23 for custom panel dimensions for your specific
design application.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not cover a glass door with a solid
panel.
Finish all sides of the custom panels. They may be visible
when the door is open or through the window of glass
door models.
