Inspect Your Entryway
1
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.

MK1273 11/18/2014
Standard security door handle height is 39-1/2". To check for potential interference with your main
entry door handle, measure from the threshold to the center of the handle. A measurement within
38-1/2" - 40-1/2" may result in interference. To ensure you avoid interference issues in this instance,
you may:
• Mount your security door with an opposite swing (see Step 3)
• Build out the trim on your mounting surface to create clearance
Note: Paddle style handles feature a prole less likely to cause interference than knob style handles...if measurements
indicate you may be close to an interference issue, keep this in mind when selecting your security door handle set.
