Installation Manual

All Sunstone Doors are "Self-Rimming", meaning that whatever
the Cut-Out edge looks like, as it is always rough, the product rim
will cover all edges, so that the door nicely seals around edge. All
Cut-Out dimensions are given with a little breathing room to allow
for any mistakes made, like either slightly larger or smaller is
usually fine. For a perfect weather seal - try using some Clear
Silicone around outside edge of frame.
Once the Door is positioned, locate the multiple "Pre-Drilled Holes" - see that
the Island's Framing is within reach of your Screws. Depending on how Thick
your exterior wall is, you may need to locate some longer screws, and or use in
conjunction "L-Brackets" in order to extend the inside reach to your islands
frame. Make sure you are using the correct style of door that works with your
unique island construction method.
The best method to properly align the door centered in your Cut-Out is to
Drill Adjacent Screws, Left then Right, Up then Down and so on until door
is perfectly centered. While some screws may not meet the framing - that
is OK so long as the Door feels sturdy. If you have not already installed
the Handles - Please do that now, handles come packaged pinned inside
the frame or screwed to inside panel of door, so you may just need to
reverse them using a Philips Head Screw Driver.

WOOD FRAMED ISLAND: For Wood Framed Island Construction is is Extremely important Not to use any wood within 60.96 cm of BBQ Grills.
Wood frame is fine for Bar/Sink areas and or Storage compartments. If your island is mostly wood, just substitute for Metal Studs while within the 60.96
cm of BBQ Grill. When installing Door to all Wood Framed Islands, locate the Pre-Drilled holes on the inside rim of Door perimeter. Locate some
"Deck Screws" in your hardware section of HOME DEPOT.
METAL STUD FRAMED ISLAND: This is the most common type of Outdoor Kitchen Island, for most "Modular Type" Islands, and even many islands
built on-site use Metal Studs as their choice of construction material. It is a superb building material for many reason, easy to work with, fire-proof, and
sturdy as it is available in many Gauge thickness for whatever the use. When installing your Door with this type of construction, you will need to use a
"Self-Tapping Screw's" - which are available in plastic boxes usually in the Hardware section of your HOME DEPOT store.
MASONRY CONCRETE BLOCK ISLAND: The use of Masonry materials is very common among Contractors/Pool Builders, who use materials like
Cinder Blocks very often preferring this type of construction for it's Low-Cost attributes and easier building methods. If your Island is built in this way, you
must pay closer attention to the Cut-Out Width & Height, since the average Block Height is 10, 20 or 30,5 cm and will not allow for any variance to these
measurements without actually cutting into the stone. Use a Hammer-Drill and a Concrete Drill Bit to make the Holes, then use the Hammer-Drill once
again this time using a Self-Tapping Concrete Bolt. Other methods include using the masonry's concrete mortar around back frame of door, or even
using "Nail-Glue", important note - for either of these other methods you will not be able to remove your door later if needed. Locate The Hammer-Drill,
Concrete Drill Bit in the Hardware Section, or Concrete & Masonry Blocks in the Building Materials Section of your local HOME DEPOT store.

Match the right Sunstone Style of Door with your unique Construction Method:
For Wood, Welded, or Metal Stud framed construction were the finished wall is using Medium-Flat surfaces like Stucco, Dryvit or Veneer Brick, our
Sunstone Classic Series Flush Style Doors, or Signature Series Beveled Style Doors are perfect options. For Masonry Style Construction Islands, we
recommend our Designer Series Raised Style Doors because of their Extra-Deep inner Flange making it much easier to install, also the Signature
Series Beveled Style Doors work well also. The Classic Series Flush Style is typically not great for Masonry or Stone Veneer finished walls.
