Glue the backplate to the door

  1. Protect the gluing surface with paper towels and place the backplate on the surface.
  2. Load the glue gun with the 50 ml glue bottle and install the nozzle.
  3. Dispense a small amount of the glue on a paper towel before beginnign the actual gluing.
  4. Note:
    The glue dries fast! Perform the following steps within 10 minutes.
    Apply a straight line of glue in the middle of the backplate, from one end of the plate to the other. Keep the nozzle in contact with the backplate the whole time.
    Note:
    Put a fair amount of the glue to the backplate. It is better to put too much than too little.
    Note:
    If the the glue comes out uncontrollably you can use the wipes provided in the kit to remove the unwanted glue. However, do not use the wipes for cleaning the grooved area of the backplate.
  5. Hold the backplate in place with one hand and with the other hand scrape off the excess glue using the other end of the scraper (1).
    Keep the scaper at a 90 degrees angle to the backplate.
  6. Using the other end of the scraper (2), remove about 10 mm of the glue from both ends of the backplate.
  7. Place the backplate into the opening in the mounting template.
    Align the edges of the backplate with the edges of the opening as shown in the following image.
  8. Press the backplate against the glass. First, press on the ends of the backplate for 5 seconds, then in the middle for 5 seconds, and then again on the ends for 5 seconds.
    Note:
    Use force when pressing the backplate.
    Leave the glue to cure for preferably 48 hours, but for 24 hours at minimun.
  9. If both handles have come off, repeat the steps 4-8 for the other backplate.
  10. After 48 hours, remove the mounting templates by stretching the lips of the strips straight along the glass.
