IF YOU HAVE 3” LONG STRUTS:
Lay a long strut over the lower hinge leaf and over the top
rail of the bottom section. Center the long strut from side to side. Attach the upper slot of the
graduated end hinge, (1) strut clip to the upper leg of the strut to the bottom section using (1)
1/4” - 20 x 3” carriage bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nut or (1) 1/4” - 20 x 1-3/8” bolt.
Next secure the bottom leg of the strut to the bottom section using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 3” carriage
bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nut or (1) 1/4” - 20 x 1-3/8” bolt. Repeat for other side.
IF YOU HAVE DOUBLE GRADUATED END HINGES:
Position the second graduated end
hinge next to the first (single) graduated end hinge. Using the second graduated end hinge as
a template, drill pilot holes, 1” deep into the bottom section using a 1/8” drill bit.
IMPORTANT:
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”
DEEP.

FOR CENTER HINGES:
Align the slots of the lower hinge leaf with the pre-drilled holes at

template, drill pilot holes, 1” deep into the bottom section with a 1/8” drill bit (if needed).
IMPORTANT:
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”

IF YOU HAVE 2” LONG STRUTS:
Attach the upper slot of the center hinge using a 1/4” - 14
x 1” lag screw. Secure the leg of the strut to the hole of the center hinge using a 1/4” - 14 x
1” lag screw. Secure the other leg of the strut to the section using a 1/4” - 14 x 1” lag screw.

NOTE:
If you don’t have half center hinges, then skip this part of the step. Refer to Package
Contents / Breakdown Of Parts, to determine if you have half center hinges.
Using a tape measure, position the half center hinges equally spaced in between the center
hinges and the graduated end hinges. Position the holes of the lower hinge leaf at the top rail
of the bottom section. Using the half center hinge as a template, drill pilot holes, 1” deep into
the bottom section with a 1/8” drill bit (if needed).
IMPORTANT:
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”
