3. With the middle Hinge Shield in position, pre-
drill the holes for the Hinge Shield as laid out on the
diagram with an 11/64 in. drill bit. The supplied se-
curing screws are over 3 inches long so pre-drilling
should be deep enough to accomodate this length.
4. Secure the door jamb with the Hinge Shield at-
C
tached to the rough frame with
the supplied 3-1/2 inch screws
. Drive screws until the heads
seat ush against the door jamb.

tighten the screws as this may
cause unwanted jamb
displacement.

the Hinge Shield as detailed in
step 4.
6. Repeat steps 1-4 for the bot-
tom hinge with the second Hinge
Shield.
7. Once installation of Hinge
