Check custom tape alignment with metal door slots; verify tape is right-side up, and that the tape does not overhang the metal door on the top, bottom or side interfaces. Remove the backing from the custom tape by pulling straight down on the liner. Align the custom tape to the keyhole slots on the metal door (see the previous illustration) and apply. Repeat steps for one side and then the other. NOTE: The adhesive on the tape is aggressive, so proper alignment and attachment to the metal door needs to occur on the first try. Open the door and align top edges. Use tape to mark a drill bit to gauge the hole depth of approximately 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm). Drill pilot holes into the top corners of the door, using hole in liner as a guide. Using a Torx® T15® screwdriver, install two #8 x 1³⁄₈" screws in top corners to secure custom wood panel in place. Align the studs on the custom wood panel to the keyhole slots on the door assembly. Ensure that all 4 plastic studs are engaged in the keyhole slots. Slide wood panel down until the top surface of the wooden panel is flush with the top of the door. Remove the short screws (3rd from top) on either side of the inner door panel. Use tape to mark a drill bit to gauge the hole depth of approximately 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm). Drill 2 pilot holes using the door liner hole as a guide into the panel. Install the 2 remaining long screws. 3
