Jamb mounting
Position hinge-side jamb (A) on the desired
side of the opening for your door swing. Allow
for a 1/8" gap between the hinge-side edge
of jamb and inside-edge of your mounting
surface.
Note: There should be a minimum of 2-3/4"
space below the hinge side jamb (A) and below
the entire width of the door to allow space
for the bottom bar (attached in Step 7). It is
okay to move the doors up within the doorway
to ensure this space, as long as the top of
the jambs do not go beyond the top-edge
of your trim framing. If a 2-3/4" space exists
across the entire doorway, skip to the next
paragraph. Otherwise, position bottom bar
(E) on the ground in front of the doorway with
the legs pointing up. Position the hinge-side
jamb assembly (A) on the inactive side of the
door, sliding the jamb over the bottom bar leg
to correctly position the jamb. This alignment
will be repeated for the active side jamb. See
diagram below:
Important: All jambs must be positioned to
allow secure mounting to your trim framing
around the opening.
Make certain hinge-side jamb is plumb. Mark
the location of the 1 & 2 mounting holes
for hinge-side jamb, by inserting a screw
through the jamb and either making a dent or
scratching the mounting surface. Set the hinge-
side jamb aside and, where marked, pre-drill
the two holes, using a 3/16" drill bit.
Support Jamb with temporary screws:
Return the hinge-side jamb to position, verify
again that it is plumb, and install two of the #10
3-1/2" dry wall screws (K) supplied into holes
1 & 2 (see diagram at top left), and temporarily
mount the hinge-side jamb (A). These screws
are inserted only to hold the security door
frame plumb while test tting the door, and
will be removed and replaced with one-way
screws, later in this step.

Insert bottom bar legs into the left
and right door jambs
Hang the door to test t:
Holding the door open at more than a 90° angle (see diagram at center left), hang the security door (B) onto the hinge pins of the hinge-side jamb (A), starting
with the bottom pin rst (see diagram at bottom left). Ensure that door is fully seated on hinges.
Place a level across the top of the door, to verify that the security door is level, then re-verify that the hinge-side jamb has remained plumb during the hanging of
the security door. The door will be removed in Step 7, then reinstalled in Step 9 . If the door is not plumb vertically and/or horizontally, remove door panel and
re-position jamb.
Secure Hinge-side Jamb with One-way Screws:
Pre-drill two 3/16" holes, 1-1/4" deep, into the entryway trim mounting surface, through holes 3 & 4 of the hinge-side jamb. Install two one-way
screws (J) into holes 3 & 4, securing the jamb to the entryway trim, using your drill and the supplied one-way driver tool (I).
Remove the two #10 3-1/2" dry wall screws (K) previously installed into the hinge-side jamb (holes 1 & 2 in the diagram). Drill two 3/16" holes,
1-1/4" deep, into the entryway trim mounting surface, through holes 1 & 2. Install two one-way screws (J) into holes 1 & 2 using your drill and the
supplied one-way driver tool (I).
