The last picture is of the standard kit, but shows proper arm orientation.

On the left side, insert a 25mm bolt like on the right side.

Put two laser cut spacers over the bolt, followed by a 3D Bushing.

Place the arm on the bolt, followed by a washer.

Secure the arm in place with a nylock.

Laser Cut Wood Spacer (1 for Seal Kit, 2 for Standard Kit)

3D Printed Handle

SEAL KIT: 3D Printed Handle, Lock and Key kit

Carefully peel back the protective film to expose the top of the acrylic. Repeat for the back as pictured.

The amount exposed should be just a little more than the width of the Acrylic Lid Clamp on both sides.

Leave the rest of the film on for now to protect the acrylic during install.

This next step is easier if the box is on its side.

Take the Acrylic Clamp panel and line it up with the vinyl on top of the box.

Start threading through 14mm bolts from the top of the Clamp panel, trough the vinyl.

Line up the Acrylic panel and thread the bolts through the holes on the panel.

Secure in place with Nylock nuts. (A pair of needle nose pliers may work better than the hex key for this step)

Be Careful not to over tighten the nylock nuts! It could break the acrylic!

Remove the rest of the protective film from the acrylic.

Using 10mm bolts and Nylock nuts, secure the Hinge arms to the Acrylic as shown.

Be Careful not to over tighten the nylock nuts! It could break the acrylic!

Take two of the laser cut stand offs and two 10mm bolts. Put the bolts through the standoffs as pictured

Place the handle into the holes of the Acrylic lid.

Secure into place using the bolts and standoffs.

Put the handle that comes with the seal kit into the top large hole in the acrylic.

Attach with a 10mm bolt and a laser cut circular stand off.

Disassemble the lock assembly.

Insert the main assembly into the bottom hole. It helps to have the key in to check orientation. The key should be up and down.

Thread the nut over the lock assembly and secure it to the acrylic.

Attach the latching arm using the Phillips bolt that came in the same bag.

Check orientation.

The last pic shows how the rotation should work. The latch should rotate from horizontal to vertical with a COUNTER CLOCKWISE turn and lock. Pay close attention to the notch orientation.
