If you didn’t buy the sealing kit, you can proceed to Step 3.

Beginning on one edge, stick the end along the front slot.

Remove little by little the non-adhesive paper.

Gently cut the foam at the other edge of the slot, without scratching the box.

You can proceed the same way for the three other sides.

Insert M3 nuts into each slots of handles and movable hinge.

There are two types of locks. You can distinguish them with the height of the step.

Parts with little step are used without sealing kit.

Parts with bigger step are used with sealing kit.

Insert one handle into one big plexiglas hole. Add a lock on the other side of the door and screw with M3 screw. Don’t tighten it too much or you won’t be able to turn it. Do the same for the four locks.

Screw the movable hinges with M3 screws. All screws head of the door must be on the same side.
