Surround Installation
NOTE: Faceplate surrounds are only used for Mendota Door Kits (Andover, Bentley, Prairie, Homestead,
Willow). Basix surrounds are used for all other decorative fronts and safety screen only installations.
1.
Unwrap the Basix or Faceplate kit carefully and inspect for any shipping damage. If damage is evident, contact your
Mendota Dealer.
2.
Locate mounting slots on the inner left and right flanges on the Basix or Faceplate.
3.
Lift Basix or Faceplate and slide the inner flanges inside outer edges of Insert.
4.
Align hooks on Basix or Faceplate with the shoulder rivets that are factory installed on the left and right sides of the
Insert
outer skin’s
front edge. Lift slightly and slide hooks onto the shoulders of the shoulder rivets.
5.
If you wish, you may use the four #8 X
1/2” long sheet metal screws provided to se
cure the Basix or Faceplate
permanently to the Insert body. However, Mendota discourages doing so unless necessary. Always properly level and
plumb the Insert body to prevent tipping of the insert. Failure to properly level and plumb the Insert body may lead to
the Insert body tipping forward and pushing the Basix or Faceplate hooks off the shoulder rivets.
6.
Proceed by mounting other optional decorative fronts and glass barrier screens that the homeowner has selected.
