Step 4Mount Hinges and Hang the Frame
Now that the frame and board are complete, it is time to prepare the garage door.
You'll want to measure both your completed frame and the door to find where the edges of the whiteboard should be.
At either edge, you need to attach the hinge to a part of the door frame so that the hinge ends up centered on the vertical beam.
Every hinge should line up with the vertical beams of the frame, so make sure you measure those as best you can. We put 3 self-tapping screws through each hinge into the garage door frame. This thing is going to be fairly heavy, and you don't want it falling off.
Once you have all the hinges mounted, open the garage door so that the hinges are now open and pointed at the ground. Get someone to help you get the frame all lined up. Once you have it lined up, lift it into place and get each hinge screwed to the frame.
Try to make this as even as possible to make it work smoother.
