Determining Your Build Out Area

Determine Type and Readiness of Mounting Surface

Your new double security doors 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 the diagrams below and determine which

one most resembles the trim around the entry door to which

you will mount your double security doors.

Inspect Your Entryway for Obstructions

Check for any obstructions above and around your entryway that

may prevent the outward swing of your new security doors and/or

their installation, such as:

 Light xtures

 Door bell

 Low overhang

 Door handle of your existing entry door

 Trees, bushes or hanging plants

Determining Your Threshold Configuration Look at your existing entry door threshold and use the diagrams below to determine which threshold configuration best applies to your entryway. This will determine whether a bottom bar is or is not required for your double security doors. Bottom Bar Required 3 Bottom Bar NOT Required The concrete is set back and lacks space to mount to the threshold plate. The concrete extends at least 7/8" further than your trim.

6 Installing the Active-side Jamb Mounting the Active-side Jamb E 3 Position active-side jamb assembly (B) on the active side of the double doors. Allow for a 1/8" gap between the hinge-side edge of jamb and inside-edge of your mounting surface. Note: If the bottom bar has been placed under the door, slide the jamb over the bottom bar leg refer to step 4. Important: All jambs must be positioned to allow secure mounting to your trim framing around the opening.

10 Installing the Bottom Bar Note: If you will NOT be installing the bottom bar, discard the bottom bar and skip to step 11. This step is easier if both door panels are removed from the hinges. Bottom Bar Placement Bottom Bar Installation The bottom bar (J) will need to be installed 1/8" to 1/4" lower than the Insert bottom bar into the left and right door jambs. Adjust the bottom bar (J) to the existing doorway so that there is slope to the threshold. This allows correct height.

13 Installing the Bug Sweeps Open one side of the door. Slip the left multi-blade bug sweep (F) onto the bottom of the door. Hold sweep in place and close the door. Allow the sweep to fall and sit rested on the left threshold plate (H). Note: Be sure there is not a gap between the sweep and the threshold plate, and that the sweep is centered on the bottom of the door. Use 1/8" drill bit to pre-drill the two outer holes for mounting screws.
