• Cut a piece of corrugated to use as a pad to protect
the panel finish. Use 1/2" thick section of plywood to
protect flooring when drilling.
• Place custom panel on the pad, appearance side
down.
• On the back side of the panel - at the handle side,
measure and mark 1/4" below the top edge of the
panel with a pencil.
• Slip panel into new extrusion on the handle side of
the panel.
• Align the extrusion at the pencil mark, 1/4" below the
top of the panel.
• Tape the extrusion to the panel to prevent movement.
• Center punch and drill 1/8" pilot holes through the
holes in the extrusion and into the panel.
• Turn panel over. On the appearance side, use 9/32" bit
to enlarge clearance hole.
IMPORTANT: Hole locations must be exact to accept
handle standoff and handle assembly.
If you are installing handle onto a Stainless Steel
Panel:
Use extreme caution if you are drilling through a
stainless steel panel. Stainless steel panels must be
handled gently. Do not kneel on the stainless steel
panel. It will leave a permanent dent. Do not remove
protective plastic covering until final installation.
• Place supplied filler panel (corrugated) on floor to use
as a pad.
• On the back side of the panel - at the handle side,
measure and mark 1/4" below the top edge of the
panel.
• Slip panel into the new extrusion, flush against inner
edge, on the handle side.
• Align extrusion to pencil mark as shown in Step 2.
Mark each screw hole location with pencil.
• Tape extrusion to panel to prevent movement.
• Place panel on plywood section, appearance side
down. Be sure plywood is clean without nicks and
burrs. Center punch at each screw hole location.
• Drill 1/8" pilot hole. Use 9/32" bit to enlarge clearance
hole.
• Measure and cut a 2" wide strip, top to bottom off the
corrugated panel. This will allow room for spacer rings
between the stainless panel and extrusion.
