Hinge Installation
Considerations for Assembled Hinges
Riveted-pin hinges have locating tabs. Fasten to
slabs using same method as for unassembled
hinges, placing tabs against door face to locate hinge.
If assembled hinges are used, fastening door slabs to frames will require that the slabs be first
fastened to loose hinge jambs, with the rest of the frame and sill then being built around the slab.
A standard hinge leaf with locating tabs can also
be used as a template, if a vix-bit is used to center
the pilot holes in the centers of the hinge holes.

For wood-edged doors with pass-through
hinge mortises, take care to place correct
leaf on door edge, and fasten at correct
backset, for alignment. (Backset is 1-3/8”)
To apply these hinges to wood-edged doors, use a
template and mark screws or bore 3/32” diameter
pilot holes.
