Upper and lower panel minimum thickness is 5/8" (16 mm). Panel thickness above 11/16" (18 mm) can be accommodated but product depth will increase accordingly.

Custom front panel material must be suitable for damp conditions or adequately sealed to withstand moisture. Using a moisture-resistant material can provide additional protection. Taping edges alone may not provide adequate sealing. For painted panel, paint all rear edges to improve sealing.

8.Lay the custom front panel face down.

9.Feed the medallion wires through the wire opening in the metal plate.
