Design Guide - Flush Inset Installation for
1/2" (1.27 cm) OVERLAY PANEL DIMENSIONS
For a more custom appearance, overlay panels may be installed on trimmed models. The
overlay panel must be secured to a 1/4" (0.63 cm) thick backer panel which slides into the
trim. A spacer panel 0.10" (0.25 cm) thick must be placed between the overlay and backer
panel.
Assemble the panels with glue and screws:
• Center the spacer panel on the backer panel, left to right and top to bottom. Secure the
panels with glue.
• Refer to the following chart for locating the backer panel to the overlay panel. Secure the
overlay panel to the backer panel with glue and screws. Screws must be countersunk into
the backer panel.

installation trim is designed to fit a total panel thickness

• If the panel is less than 0.75" (1.91 cm) a noticeable
gap may be created around the dispenser trim.
• If the panel is more than 0.85" (2.16 cm) the dispenser
trim cannot be secured to the door.
