Then, a 35mm reaming cup installation hold should be drilled with a pistol drill or woodworking hole opener. In general, the drilling depth is 12mm.


(3) Fix the hinge cup (the hinge product). Glass hinges should be inserted into the hinge cup hole on the door plate, and fix the hinge cup with self-tapping screws.


(4) Fix the base. After the hinge is inserted into the cup hole of the door panel, open the hinge, insert and align the side panels. And then fix the base with self-tapping screws.

Also, it is necessary to check whether the hinge and its connecting screws and fasteners are matched. The connection method of the glass hinge should match the material of the frame and fan.
