- Preparation: Ensure the door or panel where the hinge will be installed is clean and free of debris. Gather necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver, wrench, measuring tape).
- Remove Old Hinge (if applicable): Carefully remove the existing upper hinge assembly. Retain any screws or fasteners that are in good condition, or prepare new ones if needed.

- Secure Hinge: Insert appropriate screws or fasteners through the mounting holes of the hinge assembly. Tighten them securely, but do not overtighten, to avoid stripping threads or damaging the material.
- Test Operation: Once installed, gently open and close the door or panel to verify smooth and unobstructed movement. Check for any binding or misalignment. Adjust as necessary.
