or location. Make sure that no wall studs, pipes or
wires run through the opening area.
2. Drill a guide hole at the center of the opening area.
3. From the outside, use the guide hole as a starting
point to lay out the installation.
A. Use a T-square to measure 10
3/4
” (27.3 cm) to the
left of the guide hole, then 12
7/8
” (32.7 cm) to
locate the top-left corner of the layout.
