Peel the protective film from the
front of each door panel.
Please note there may be superficial
marking on the back of each panel
due to the laser cutting process used
to ensure the panels are very
precisely made. This does not affect
the performance or life of the
aluminum in any way, or the
outward appearance of the finished
door.

Fit the grommet (a) to the centre
