• Complete replacement of wire assemblies is recommended whenever
required. Splice wires only if necessary, using proper materials: such as
electrical tape, wire nuts, flux core solder and heat shrink.
• Apply liquid soap to rail plastic covers and gaskets upon installation to
facilitate insertion into mounting grooves.
• Keep doors and frames clean for product efficiency. This can also help
reduce energy consumption and potential health hazards.
• Whenever binding gasket or plastic parts, use food grade silicone.
1. Read instructions completely before installing the frame.
• Clearance between the frame sill and the case bottom or floor is mandated by
local building codes.
• Sill net opening must be a minimum of two inches in height
• Sill must be completely level.
2. Before installing the frame, confirm the size of the net opening accommodates the
finish frame. If the tolerances are too high, the net opening will have to be enlarged.
3. Check size of finished frame to net opening.
• Subtract the frame height measurement from the net opening’s height
measurement.
• Subtract the frame width measurement from the net opening’s width
measurement.
• Divide each number in half. This is the amount of gap that will occur between the
frame and the net opening.
4. If the gap between the frame and the net opening is greater than 1/16”, shim the gap
for a proper fit.
2.1. Shimming
1. Acquire sturdy, penetrable material, such as plywood. The thickness of the
material should be wedge shaped or slightly less than the gap to be filled.
2. Measure the gap length (height or width of frame) and cut the shim material to
1/16” less than the measured length.
3. Install the shim using the same type of mounting hardware that will be used to
install the frame. Be certain that the shim installation hardware will not interfere
with the frame installation hardware
4. If necessary, cut a second shim to the same length and install it in the opposite
side of the net opening.
5. If the adjacent sides of the net opening need shimming, repeat the previous
steps. Match the shim length to the frame sides of the net opening (less 1/16”).

2.2. To Install the Frame
1. Verify openings conform to net openings listed in price book or original order.
2. Insert the finished frame assembly into the net opening. DO NOT for ce th e fra me
if the fit is too tight.
3. Insert a mounting screw into a mounting hole in each corner of the frame and
tighten each screw until it is approximately a quarter inch from flush.
4. Check the frame is aligned properly or square.
• Use a 16-foot measuring tape to measure diagonally one corner to the
opposite and note the distanc e.
• Measure the distance between the remaining two corners.
• Both measurements should be the same, within a 1/16” difference.
5. Confirm the frame and frame flanges are vertically aligned to the wall surface
around the net opening.
6. Place a level on the top flange of the header frame to check if it is horizontally
aligned.
7. If the top of the header frame sags or bows, correct as necessary.
8. When the frame is aligned, tighten all mounting screws securely until each is
flush to the frame surface.
NOTE: DO NOT over-tighten the screws, as this can cause the frame to
9. Check entire fra me to ensur e i nst all ation is correct.
NOTE: Use caulk and food grade silicone sealant to seal the gap between
the frame and the surrounding wall, inside case, cooler or freezer.

2.3. Frame Electrical Wiring Connections
Wire Diagram Connection Label
Wiring Diagram
The seven individual wires extending from the flexible conduit atop the frame,
provide electrical power to various frame and door functi o nsfor the wiring diagram
label, affixed to the frame hea der .
Using wire connectors, these wires should be grouped by the Hot wires (Circuit
wires), the Neutral wires and the ground wire for connection to either the facility or
the case power.
• Blue/White wire connects to the supplied Hot (or Lights Circuit Wire).
• White/Blue wire connects to the supplied Light neutral wire.
• Red and Black wires connect to the supplied Hot (or Door/Frame Heater
Circuit Wire).
• White/Red and White/Black wires connect to the supplied neutral wire for
Door/Frame Circuit.
• Green/Yellow wire connects to the supplied ground wire.
NOTE: Wiring for lights should have a separate circuit from the door/frame heater
wiring circuit.
3. DOOR INSTALLATION
3.1. To Install the Door Assembly
1. Hold the door on each side, with the handle facing forward. Lift door, align torque
rod to insert into TorqueMaster™ socket at base of frame.
Insert Torque Rod
2. Engage door with hinge pin inserted into Gib (hinge pin plug) receptacle at top of
frame. Push door into frame until hinge pin snaps in place.
Connect Hinge Pin
3. Insert the hold-open bolt through the elongated hold-open slot.
4. Insert the washer and the hold-open bolt into the frame mounting hole and
tighten the bolt, use a 7/16” open-ended hand wrench.
Tighten Hold-Open Bolt
5. Set the door tension swing and correct the door alignment by adjusting the
TorqueMaster™. (See TORQUEMASTER™ AND SAG ADJUSTMENt.
NOTE: Exercise caution when handling the door.
NOTE: DO NOT use power tools when adjusting the TorqueMaster™.
NOTE: DO NOT over tighten hold-open bolt. Verify hold-open does not bind while
sliding along the hold-open bolt. Adjust as necessar
y.
3.2. To Remove the Door Assembly
1. Release tensio n on To rqueMaster™ with a flat-head screwdriver. Turn the
TorqueMaster™ front facing screw clockwise, until the door does not
automatically close from an open position.
Release TorqueMaster Tension
2. Open door to access the hold open device, then loosen and remove hold-open
detent bolt using a 7/16” hand wrench.
Remove Hold-Open Bolt
3. Retract the door to a near-c l osed pos it ion.
4. Remove hinge pin plug from frame by inserting top-half of needle-nose pliers into
the spring clip grip hole and the bottom half beneath the hinge pin shroud.
Disengage Hinge Pin Hinge Pin Assembly
5. Compress pliers to clamp down on hinge pin spring clip, then simultaneously pull
the hinge pin away from the frame and pull the door top out.
Withdraw Away From Hinge Gib
6. Lift door out of TorqueMaster™. Secure or lean door on its side against a stable
surface.
3.3. To Reverse the Door Swing
Some doors are reversible. Remove the door from the frame first and then perform
the following steps.
3.3.1. Frame
1. To remove Torquemaster, insert fl at-head screwdriver into top center
