INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

TRU-FIT 

DOOR & PANEL

INSTALLATION:

If, while preparing to attach the Hinge Jamb (B) to the Wall 

Jamb (A), you are unable to get a consistent 1/8” gap between 

the Door Glass (O) and Panel Glass (P) without revealing the 

groove lines on the Wall Jamb (A), either your walls may be 

seriously out of plumb or your selected unit might not be the 

right size for your conditions.  Double check your wall condi-

tions and measurements.

OPERATION:

If you have not installed the #8 x 3/4” Set Screws (L) on the 

outside of the enclosure securing the Hinge Jamb (B) to the 

Wall Jamb (A), and you are noticing movement of the Hinge 

Jamb (B) during normal operation, we strongly suggest you go 

to Step 24 and install the Set Screws (L) on the outside of the 

enclosure.
