This page provides links to show you how to install your hatch.  "Ready-To-Mount"^tm Hatches are suitable for use in both top and side openings.  Hinges, latches and pull-rings must be screwed into the added facing material and not into the hatch lid itself since doing so would puncture the Barrier Ultra-r vacuum insulation panel which is contained in the lid.  While the mounting method shown is not the only one possible, builders are encouraged to consult with us before incorporating variations.

Cross-Sectional Close-Up provides a detailed look at how the hatch frame "flange" is imbedded in the insulation and countertop support.  The counter material in this illustration is "Corian" but the technique shown applies equally to "Formica" and other countertop materials.

Pull-Ring Animation shows the installation of a pull-ring in a mounted hatch such as would be typical of a top-opening box.

Hinged With Latch shows a addition of a hinge and latch as is typical of a side-opening installation.
