Installation Tips
- Measure and Mark Verify your door thickness (1⅜″–1¾″) and map out the handle centers at a comfortable height—typically 36″–42″ from the floor.
- Pre-Drill Holes Use the included template or hardware guide to pre-drill pilot holes. This ensures clean alignment and prevents aluminum chipping.
- Secure Mounting Thread the mounting bolts through the interior pull, then align and tighten the exterior half-reel. A second pair of hands can steady the reel for perfect symmetry.
- Test Operation Open and close the door to confirm smooth operation. Adjust bolt tension if handles feel loose or bind slightly.
Styling Your Media Room Around the Reels
- Wall Treatments Dark, matte walls (charcoal gray or deep navy) let the aluminum reels pop. Consider vertical paneling to mimic projection booths.
- Lighting Highlights Install directional sconces or LED strips above the door pulls. A soft uplight brings out the metallic sheen and casts film-reel shadows.
- Complementary Accents Frame vintage movie posters, project old film canisters on shelves, or scatter director’s clapboards on side tables. These touches create a cohesive, cinematic narrative.
- Seating and Textures Plush velvet or leather seating in burgundy, black, or cream amplifies the luxe theater vibe. A low-pile rug in a subtle pattern grounds the space without distracting from the hardware.
