Step 26 Install Doors
1.
Before fastening the hinges to the side trim, temporarily prop the doors in the opening. Leave
a space at the top and bottom of the doors and between the doors and the side trim to allow
room for the doors to expand due to humidity.
If your door opening is out of square, the space around the doors will not be even. You can
remove and re-position the side trim to make allowances for this. The side trim does not have
to be flush with the frame of the door opening. You can move the trim in or out to make the
door spacing equal.
2.
Determine position of hinges and install to side trim with 2" screws.
3.
Install a barrel bolt on the lower back of the left
door to secure this door in place when closed.
You will need to drill a hole for the round shaft
to drop into.
4.
Install another barrel bolt at the top of the door.
5.
Install single door. No barrel bolt is needed for
this door.
