Installation Steps

1. Assemble Door Frame: If the frame components are separate, assemble them according to the provided diagrams, ensuring all joints are secure.
2. Position Frame: Carefully position the assembled door frame into the rough opening. Use shims to ensure the frame is perfectly plumb and level on all sides.
3. Secure Frame: Drill pilot holes and secure the door frame to the wall studs using the provided screws. Start from the top, then middle, and bottom, checking for plumb and level at each step.
4. Install Door Panel: Carefully lift the door panel and align its hinges with the hinge pins on the frame. Lower the door onto the pins. This step requires at least two people due to the door's weight.
5. Attach Handle: Secure the door handle/pull bar to the designated mounting points on the door panel. Refer to the close-up image of the handle for correct orientation.
