Follow these instructions carefully as 

the clearances through the portal are close and much 

confusion can result if not removed in the sequence 

described below

).

2.  Raise the door to a fully open position and disengage 

the door spring from each of the door spring studs. 

Do this by counter-acting the force of the door lift 

spring with one hand while working the end of the 

door spring off the door assembly with the free hand. 

Do this on both sides of the door assembly. 

3.  When  the ends of the door spring have been com-

pletely freed from their respective door spring studs, 

the door lift springs on either side of the door assem-

bly can easily be slipped off their studs.

Figure 8 

4.  Rotate the entire door assembly out through the door 

opening. Pass the door handle through the opening 

first and then one end of the door spring as shown. 

The remainder of the door assembly will then pass 

through the door opening quite easily.
