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
The security door will require a minimum mounting surface of 1" on the trim above and on both sides of the entry
door (1" depth also required for recessed mount). Mounting screws must be secured to a stud in the wall. Review
Figures 1-5 to determine which mounting method you can and wish to use and the rough opening measurement.
