	Tools: Tape Measure, Power Drill, 9/32”, 1/2” Drill Bit, 7/16” Wrench

Note: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this manual.

Locate the vertical center of the lock (second) section of the door and position the lift handle’s bottom hole 4” from the bottom of the lock section along the vertical center on the outside of the door. Use the holes in the lift handle as a template to mark the hole locations.

IMPORTANT: The lift handle and the step plate need to be vertically aligned.

Drill 9/32” diameter holes through the section at each marked location. Enlarge the holes from outside the door to 1/2” diameter through the section. Assemble the outside and inside lift handles to the section using (2) 1/4” x 2-1/2” carriage bolts and (2) 1/4”-20 hex nuts and spacers.

WARNING

To avoid possible injury, lift handles that are installed within 4 inches (102mm) of a section interface shall promote vertical orientation of the hand.
