| line mark. Divide that measurement | |
| in half and draw a second and third | |
| vertical line parallel to the previously | |
| made center line mark. | |
| Measure the height of the panel. Divide | |
| that measurement in half and mark a | |
| horizontal line, intersecting the vertical | |
| line(s) previously marked. Measure up | |

| Use the point(s) where the top | |
| horizontal line intersects the vertical | |
| line(s) to locate the top hole of the lift | |
| handle(s). | |
| Using the lift handle as a template, | |
| mark this location on the stile. Keeping | |
| the carriage handle aligned on the | |
| vertical line, mark the lower carriage | |
| handle hole on the stile. | |
