Ferramentas necesarias:

• Screwdriver (manual or power drill with appropriate bit)
• Chisel (if mortising is required)
• Hammer (if mortising is required)

Pasos de instalación:

1. Preparar a porta e o marco: If replacing existing hinges, remove the old hinges. If installing on a new door, mark the hinge locations on both the door and the door frame. Standard hinge placement is typically 7 inches from the top and 11 inches from the bottom of the door, with a third hinge centered between them for 80-inch doors.
2. Mortise (if necessary): These hinges are designed for mortise installation. If your door and frame are not pre-mortised, carefully trace the outline of the hinge leaves onto the marked locations. Use a chisel and hammer to create a recess (mortise) that is deep enough for the hinge leaf to sit flush with the surface of the door and frame.
3. Fixar as bisagras á porta: Place one hinge leaf into its mortise on the door. Ensure it is flush and properly aligned. Secure it with the provided mounting screws. Repeat for all hinges on the door.
4. Attach Hinges to Frame: Position the door within the door frame. Use shims or blocks to support the door at the correct height and ensure proper gaps around the door. Align the remaining hinge leaves with their respective mortises on the door frame.
5. Secure Door to Frame: Once aligned, secure the hinge leaves to the door frame using the provided mounting screws. Start with one screw per hinge to allow for minor adjustments, then install the remaining screws.
6. Proba de funcionamento: Open and close the door several times to check for smooth operation and proper alignment. Adjust screws as needed to achieve optimal performance.
