1. Frame Preparation

A. Place hinge frame leaf on frame. Position top of hinge 1/8" maximum below header. Place hinge firmly against rabbet of frame (Fig. 1 & 2).
B. Mark and center punch each hole on frame with hinge held firmly in place. Remove hinge. A center punch can help center hole so that fasteners will enter straight. Prepare to drill frame.
C. Drill holes:

Wood Frame: Drill holes using 5/32" drill bit

Hollow Metal Frame: Drill holes using a #16 drill bit. If hollow metal frame is reinforced, thread all holes with #12-24 tap.

Do not install hinge to frame at this time.

2. Door Preparation

A. Place hinge door leaf so that top of hinge is flush with top of door. Next, make sure return is up against door face.
B. Mark and center punch each hole on door with hinge held firmly in place (Fig. 3). Remove hinge from door and prepare to drill door.
C. Drilling doors:

Non Adjustable Hinge

Wood Doors: Drill all holes using 5/32" drill bit.

Hollow Metal Doors: Drill all holes using a #16 drill bit. If hollow metal door is reinforced, thread all holes with #12-24 tap.

Adjustable Hinge (if using Adjust-A-Screw<sup>tm</sup>)

Wood Doors:

1. Drill all holes using a 5/32" drill bit then enlarge holes to 5/16" with a minimum depth of 1-3/8".
2. Insert Adjust-A-Screws into every hole.
3. Place a 7/32" Allen wrench in opening of Adjust-A-Screw and turn Adjust-A-Screw into hole while keeping screw properly aligned (Fig. 4).
Drive all Adjust-A-Screws in until approximately 1/8" from edge of door. (Adjust-A-Screw will self-tap)

Hollow Metal Doors:

1. Drill all holes using #16 drill bit then enlarge holes with a 5/16" drill bit.
2. Thread all holes with 3/8-16 tap.
3. Insert Adjust-A-Screws into every hole.
4. Place a 7/32" Allen wrench in opening of Adjust-A-Screw and turn Adjust-A-Screw into hole while keeping screw properly aligned (Fig. 4).
5. Drive all Adjust-A-Screws in until approximately 1/8" from edge of door.

Note: It is not necessary to tap holes in wood doors since Adjust-A-Screws cut their own threads. Do not be concerned with a tight fit. Adjust-A-Screws are designed for a tight friction fit in tapped holes so they will not turn when attachment screw is being tightened. If Adjust-A-Screw turns too freely, apply Loctite™ to threads during installation.

Peel backing from two-sided tape located on top and bottom of SL305 hinge guard. Properly align holes making sure return is up against door face and SL305 is flush with top of door. Stick guard to edge of door.

Non Adjustable Hinge (Fig. 5)

Wood: Attach hinge using #12-8 x 1-1/2" Flat Head Undercut Wood Screws

Hollow Metal : Attach hinge using $#12-24 \times 11/16$ " Flat Head Undercut Self-Drilling Screws

Adjustable Hinge (Fig. 6)

Wood & Hollow Metal: Attach hinge using #10-32 x 3/4" Flat Head Undercut Machine Screws

Install top & bottom four screws first, then close door to check alignment See Special Note Below:

Special Note: If door is properly aligned, install and tighten remaining screws. If door requires alignment for proper fit, make this adjustment with four screws installed without removing the door. Remove one screw and insert Allen wrench through the hole into Adjust -A-Screw (Fig. 6). Turn Adjust-A-Screw in direction desired for adjustment. One full turn of the Allen wrench is equal to 1/16". Reinstall screw. Adjust remaining screws in same manner. Close door to verify door is aligned properly in opening. The balance of Adjust-A-Screws should be adjusted in same manner until are resting firmly against inside face of hinge. Then install and tighten remaining machine screws. Be sure adjustable angle is pressed firmly against face of door as screws are tightened.
