What happens here

Once all panels are in place, as seen from 0:07-0:08 where a person is crouching, likely making adjustments, proceed with installing any remaining hardware. This includes attaching door handles, flush bolts, and any locking mechanisms to the panels. Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Then, carefully align the doors. This often involves adjusting the pivot pins at the top and bottom of each panel to ensure they hang plumb and make proper contact when closed. Check for even gaps between panels and the frame, making small adjustments as needed for a smooth operation and tight seal when closed.

Goal: Attach all necessary hardware and ensure panels are correctly aligned
