Determining Your Build Out Area
1
Determine Type and Readiness of Mounting Surface
Your new security door will require a minimum mounting
surface of 1" on the trim above, and on both sides of your
entry door. Mounting screws must be secured to a stud in
the wall. Review diagrams below, and determine which one
most resembles the trim around the entry door to which you
will mount your security door.
Inspect Your Entryway for Obstructions
Check for any obstructions above and around your entryway
that may prevent the outward swing of your new security
door, and/or its installation, such as:
Light xtures
Door bell
Low overhang
Door handle of your existing entry door
Trees, bushes, or hanging plants
