1. Using the pre-cut holes in the back of the box as a guide, mark off where
you want to mount the back box (see the "Before You Begin" section of this
chapter).
2. Using mounting hardware capable of supporting a fully loaded 4010
(approximately 50 lbs.), screw two screws into the wall where the top two
teardrop holes of the back box are to be located. Tighten the screws leaving
about a 1/8-inch gap from the seated position.
3. Carefully lift the back box and place the two teardrop holes over the
mounting screws.
4. Screw two mounting screws into the two bottom back box holes and tighten
all screws.
1. Remove the mounting knockouts from both sides of the back box. See
Figure 2-2 for their location.
2. Make the appropriate opening in the wall or wall board to accommodate the
back box. Dimensions of the backbox are 22" (55.8 cm) W x 18 (45.7 cm)
H x 6 ¼ (15.8 cm) D.
3. Frame the opening to accommodate the back box. Fit the back box into the
opening. Use wall stud guides to ensure free movement of the door.
4. Using mounting hardware capable of supporting a fully loaded 4010, screw
or nail back box to the studs.
