## Glass cut-out

This hinge needs a corner notch 2-1/8" long x 1-1/2" deep, holes 1-7/8" apart in the tempered glass, per CRL's template. Tempered glass can't be cut after it's made, so a replacement hinge has to fit the cut-out already in your glass.

Replacing a handle?

### Match your holes, glass and finish.

Measure center to center between your existing holes and check your glass thickness. A new handle has to match both.
