PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO ALL APPLICABLE BUILDING AND LIFE SAFETY CODES

All holes in door and frame must be drilled correctly and fasteners properly installed. Failure to use fasteners supplied by Select Products Limited will void UL or WHI fire rated listing.

Important Warranty Information:

The following actions will void any warranty, expressed or implied:

  • Failure to install the hinge according to the manufacturer's specifications and requirements. (for more information, visit selecthingerequirements.com)
  • Use of fasteners other than those supplied with the hinge.
  • Unauthorized field modifications, including alteration of the original finish or painting the hinge.

  • 1: Frame Preparation A. Place the hinge frame leaf on the frame. Position the top of the hinge 1/8" maximum below the header as shown (Fig.1). Place the hinge firmly against the rabbet of the frame.
    • B. Mark and center punch each hole on the frame with the hinge held firmly in place. For ease of installation, a center punch can help center the hole so that the fasteners will enter straight. Remove the hinge from the frame and prepare to drill the frame.
    • C. Drill holes:

Wood frame: Drill all holes using a #28 or 9/64" drill bit.

Hollow Metal frame: Drill all holes using a #16 drill bit. If hollow metal frame is reinforced, thread all holes with #12-24 tap.

Do not attach the hinge to the frame at this time.

  • Step 2: Door Preparation A. Position the hinge door leaf so that the top of the hinge is flush with the top of the door. Next make sure the hinge edge is up flush with the door face.
    • B. Mark and center punch each hole on the door with the hinge held firmly in place (Fig.2). Remove the hinge from the door and prepare to drill the door.
