PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
DOOR OVERLAY PANEL INSTALLATION
Follow the instructions below to install door overlay
panels. Door overlay panel installation is the
same for solid and glass door units. For custom
panel specifications, please see “Custom Panel
Specifications” starting on page 25.
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL A SOLID PANEL ON A GLASS
DOOR. THIS MAY CAUSE MOISTURE TO FORM
BEHIND THE PANEL, RESULTING IN DAMAGE.
REQUIRED TOOLS
Required tools include (but may not be limited to)
the following:
• Surface Protection*
• 3/8" Wrench
• Phillips Bit Driver
• 2+ Clamps ≥ 2" (51 mm)
• 1/8" Drill Bit
• #6 Screws (qty 10)**
• Drill
*Cardboard, moving blanket, foam padding, etc.
** Screw type and length varies by material. All screws must
be 1/2" (13 mm) + Overlay Panel Thickness.
PROCEDURE
1. Carefully lay the door overlay panel on a protected
surface.
2. Remove the kickplate. See fig. 1.
3. Remove the door from the unit. Leave the hinges
installed on the unit. See fig. 2.
