INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Interior Door Slabs (JII110)

INSTALL SLAB - CONTINUED

2. If necessary to t

the existing jamb,

a maximum of 1/4"

can be trimmed

from each side of

hollow or solid

core molded and

ush doors only.

Trimming any

other type is not

recommend. For the

best appearance,

trim an equal

amount from

opposite sides. To

minimize chipping,

stick masking tape

along the cut line

to each face of the

slab. Make the cuts

with a ne toothed

circular saw (height)

and wood plane

(width). Trimming

beveled edges may

require re-beveling.

3. The latch stile may

have a pre-cut 2˚ or

3˚ bevel. This bevel

maintains a 1/8"

clearance between

the jamb and latch

edge and improve

the t when the

slab is closed. If

the latch stile is

not beveled, and a

bevel is preferred,

use a wood plane

or ne-toothed

saw to cut a bevel

so that the slab

face that rests

against the stop

becomes slightly

narrower than the

oppositeface.

TEST SLAB FIT IN JAMBS

Before installing any

hardware, t the

slab in the frame

and verify it will t

properly. Looking at

the hinge side of the

slab when it is closed,

there should be 1/16"

gap between the

slab and hinge jamb

and1/8" between the

slab and the head and

strike jamb.

INSTALL HINGES

1. Three hinges are recommended for slabs up to 84" in height and four

hinges for slabs over 84".

2. If re-using existing

jambs, verify the

existing hinge

locations are plumb,

or all in a straight line

vertically. Position

the new hinges in

the existing locations

and modify the

mortises as necessary.

Match the slab to

the jambs using the

followinginstructions.

3. If installing new

jambs, measure down

from the underside of

the top of the jamb

7" to position the

top of the top hinge.

Measure up from the

bottom of the slab 10"

to position the bottom

of the bottom hinge.

Place the middle hinge

halfway in between.

4. When marking the

slab for hinges, make

sure the measurement

from the top of the

slab to the top of

the hinge route is

1/8"smaller than the distance from the head jamb to the top of the

top hinge. This will allow 1/8" gap between the slab and head jamb.

5. When marking the

slab, the distance from

the inside face to the

back of the hinge

route should be 1/16"

less than the depth

of the hinge route on

thejamb.

6. Using a template,

mark the jambs and

slab where the hinges

will be mounted.

Using a chisel or

router, notch the

jamb and slab for the

outline of the hinge

leaves and no deeper

than the thickness of the leaves.

7. Using the hinge as a template, mark screw hole locations and drill

pilot holes for all screws. If possible, it may be easier to remove the

hinge pin to separate the hinge leaves. Use a hammer and a punch to

drive the pin from the open end. Install the hinge leaves separately

on the jambs and slab (we recommend using a hand screwdriver

when installing screws into the slab to prevent stripping). Then, hang

the slab in the frame by aligning the hinge leaves and re-install the

hinge pins.
