Easy Installation Instructions
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses and leather gloves while installing this product. Always exercise appropriate care when working from a ladder. Follow all tool and ladder manufacturers’ instructions and safety recommendations.
Tools & Safety Equipment Needed
Safety glasses, leather gloves, tin snips, flathead screwdriver, and a ladder.
- Make sure you clean your gutters and downspouts before installation of the Lock-In Gutter Guard. You should flush the entire gutter system with a hose, making sure water is flowing freely from the bottom of the downspout without any water backing up in the gutter.
- Fits standard 4 in., 5 in., and 6 in. gutters. Before installing the first gutter guard, notch the back edge (A) and the front edge (B). The front edge may already be pre-notched depending on the direction you start your installation. Next, bend the end section down to create an end cap. This will help prevent birds and other animals from nesting in the gutter.
- Starting at one end of the gutter, install the gutter guard by slightly lifting the shingles and sliding the gutter guard under the shingle (A). If the starter row of shingles is fastened to the roof deck slide the guard between the layers. (Note: Check your local building codes for any special installation requirements).
- Pull the front edge forward to engage with the lip of the gutter. If necessary a flathead screwdriver can be used to help pull the guard forward (B). 6 Inch Gutter: Depending on how low the gutter is hung (C) and how much pitch the gutter has from one end to the other it may be necessary to install the gutter guard inside the gutter rather than under the shingles (D).
- The Lock-In Gutter Guard comes with a pre-notched end that allows the guards to overlap, eliminating any gaps that would allow debris through the seams and into the gutter. As you install each section simply overlap the end with the previous section.
- For outside corners (A) or inside corners (B), miter cut both adjoining sections. Notch the front edge of one section to create an overlap.
- At the end of the gutter, cut the last gutter guard an extra 2 inches longer than the end of the gutter.
- Cut a notch on the back edge of the gutter guard (A) and on the front edge (B).
