Determine hinge length.
L
All standard hinge lengths are supplied slightly shorter than nominal door height to avoid threshold or carpeting clearance
problems.
L
Standard models are templated and non-handed. Use the same model for both left and right hand openings.
L
EPT models are handed and should be cut from the BOTTOM end only (6" maximum cut). Bottom 3 pairs of holes must remain.
1a If hinge is taller than door, hinge must be cut to match door height. Hinge must not be taller than door height.
1b If cutting is required, mark hinge:
• Standard models:
Mark a line at both ends of hinge (hinge should be cut equally from both ends to keep the bearings in the middle).
• EPT models:
Mark bottom of hinge.
2
Cut hinge (if necessary).
2a Fold hinge so channel is up.
2b Cut along line(s) through
entire hinge.
2c Debur all cut edges with file.
3
Mark frame hole location.
3a Open hinge and place frame leaf flat against surface of frame, leaving ¹⁄₈" gap between top of hinge and frame header.
Frame leaf should be flush against edge of frame.
3b Mark center of each hole using center punch.
L
DO NOT attach hinge to frame at this time.
