Tips & safety

  • Line up the door. Each hinge arm has an adjuster to move the door sideways — manual p. 27.
  • Adjust the push-opener. Pull out the plunger, turn it to change its length, and push it back — manual p. 28.
  • Hanging it on the wall instead? Use the EKET suspension rail (sold separately), its manual and the drilling template AA-1908785.
