Product Information: Steel Security Door Installation

The Steel Security Door Installation is a surface mount door that comes with a 5-year warranty. It is designed to provide extra security to your home and can be installed easily with the help of the tools provided. The installation process involves assembling the door/hinge-side jamb assembly, lock-side jamb, and top header jamb. The door is secured with one-way screws, and the lock set must be purchased separately. The door requires regular cleaning and maintenance to prevent visual defects and damage.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Read all instructions carefully before beginning the installation process.
2. Position the hinge-side jamb assembly in front of the opening and allow for a 1/8 gap between the lock-side edge of the door and inside edge of your mounting surface. Also, allow for a 1/8 gap between the top edge of the door frame and bottom edge of your mounting surface. Use wood blocks and shims underneath the door to hold its position. Make sure the assembly is plumb.
3. All jambs must be positioned on the facing surface of the frame around the opening and secured to a stud in the wall. Mark the location of the mounting holes, set the door aside, and pre-drill 3/16 holes where marked. Fasten the door/jamb assembly to the house using the one-way screws provided.
4. Install your choice of locksets with a 2-3/8 backset (sold separately). Fully extend the lock bolts into the locked position.
5. With the lock bolts extended, align them with the holes in the lock-side jamb. Allow approximately 3/16 space between the door andthe jamb. Make sure the jamb is plumb and level with the hinge-side jamb. Mark the location of the mounting holes, set the jamb aside, and pre-drill 3/16 holes where marked. Fasten the jamb to the house using the provided one-way screws.
6. Position the top header jamb across the top of the two side jambs. Ensure there is a minimum 1/8 space between the header and the top of the door frame, and that the header is level. Mark the location of the mounting holes, set the jamb aside, and pre-drill 3/16 holes where marked. Fasten the jamb to the house using the provided one-way screws.
7. Regularly clean and maintain the door to prevent visual defects and damage. The cleaning schedule depends on your environment, as described in the manual.
8. To make a warranty claim, send a brief written description of the problem, a picture of the claim, proof of purchase, and your contact information to Unique Home Designs.

Care and maintenance

Over time, airborne dust, dirt, and impurities can accumulate, which will cause visual defects and – if not regularly and properly removed – can lead to further damage, staining, and corrosion.
Your cleaning schedule depends upon your environment:

Thoroughly wash the door frame and screen using a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Do not use strong solvent or abrasive based cleaners. Take care to avoid exposing handles, hinges, and lock(s) to excessive amounts of water. Using a dry, soft cloth, remove all excess water when done. Pay particular attention to drying the screen to frame attachment areas fully. Avoid using any sharp objects or abrasive materials on the door frame or screen. Use white grease to lubricate the hinges at each cleaning.
