Locate the center most center stile on the bottom section of the door. On the inside of the door and using the pre-punched holes at the bottom of the center stile as a template, drill (2) 7/32” dia. holes through the section. Using the previously drilled holes as a guide, enlarge the holes from outside the door to 7/16” dia. and assemble the outside and inside step plates to the section using (2) #8 x 1-5/8” screws.

	Tools Required: Tape measure, Pencil, Power drill, 9/32”/1/2” Drill bits, 1/4”
	Wrench, Saw horses

NOTE: Doors with a Keyed lock do not require this lift handle.

Locate the inside center stile or the desired lift handle location on the lock (2nd) section of the door. Position the lower hole in the lift handle 4” from the bottom of the lock (2nd) section.

IMPORTANT: The distance between the step plate and the middle of the lift handle must be 20” minimum to 30” maximum. If necessary reposition the upper lift handle to stay within the required dimension.

Using the lift handle holes as a template, drill (2) 9/32” dia. holes through the lock section. Enlarge the holes from the outside the door to 1/2” dia.

Caution: Do not drill through or enlarge holes on the inside of the door section.

Assemble the outside and inside lift handles to the lock section using (2) spacers, (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2-1/2” carriage bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 hex nuts.
