Determining Your Build Out A

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 fixtures
• Door bell
• Low overhang
• Trees, bushes, or hanging plants

A : 1″ minimum mounting surface B : 1″ minimum mounting surface
Ready for installation
Determine Type and Readiness of Mounting Surface
Your security door 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 diagrams at right and determine which one most resembles the trim around the entry door to which you will mount your security door

Ready for installation
Check for Hardware Interference
Measure the depth from the corner of your mounting surface to your existing entry door hardware. If this measurement is 2-3/8″ or greater there is no potential for hardware interference. If the measurement is less than 2-3/8″, measure from the edge of the mounting surface on top of the door to the top and bottom edge of the part of your existing hardware that intrudes into the 2-3/8″ clearance.
If either of these two measurements falls between 39-1/4″ and 43-1/4″, the security door and existing door hardware will interfere with each other. You can either build your mounting surface out to create the clearance required or mount your security door with an opposite swing to your main entry door. If there is less than 2-3/8″ clearance between the surface of the main entry door and the security door mounting surface, a build out is required.

Determine the 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 security door.

Bottom Bar Required
The concrete and threshold sets back behind the trim.

|

Bottom Bar NOT Required
The concrete extends at least 7/8″ further than your trim.

---|---
The concrete and threshold sets back behind the trim.
| The existing threshold extends beyond the trim by 7/8″ or more.

The existing threshold sticks out beyond the trim by 3/16″ or less.

|

The existing threshold extends past the trim between 3/16″ and 7/8″.

Prepare the security door

Glass Removal
If your door includes glass, remove it before you start the installation procedure. Loosen (do not remove) each screw. Carefully hold the glass panel in place and rotate each clip 90°. Carefully remove the glass panel and store it in a safe place during installation.

Handleset Attachment
Following the manufacturer’s instructions, install your choice of 2-3/8″ backset handle and lock set (Sold separately). Fully extend the lock bolts into the “locked” position on the security door.

Install the inactive side-jamb

Position hinge-side jamb assembly (A) on the inactive-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: There should be a minimum of 2-3/4″ space below the hinge side jamb and below the entire width of the door to allow space for the bottom bar (attached in Step 10). It is okay to move the doors up within the doorway to ensure this space, as long as the top of the jambs do not go beyond the top edge of your trim framing. If a 2- 3/4″ space exists across the entire doorway, skip to step 5.
Otherwise, position bottom bar assembly (J) on the ground in front of the doorway with the legs pointing up. Position the hinge-side jamb assembly (A) on the inactive side of the double doors sliding the jamb over the bottom bar leg to correctly position the jamb. This alignment will be repeated for the active side jamb.
Important: All jambs must be positioned to allow secure mounting to your trim framing around the opening.
Make certain the jamb assembly is plumb, and mark the location of the mounting holes with a pencil. Set the jamb aside and, where marked, pre-drill 3/16″ holes.

Support inactive jamb with temporary screws:
Drive two of the #10 3-1/2″ drywall screws (N) supplied into the middle holes ( 1 & 2 in the diagram on left) for the inactive-side jamb (A). These screws are
inserted only to hold the security door frame plumb and will be removed and replaced in step 9.

Install the top header jamb

Place the top head jamb (E) above the side jamb (A). Take care to make sure that a minimum of 1/8″ reveal is consistent on side jamb (A) as well as on the top head jamb (E). Spacing should be equal, from left to right, and above the door. Mark the location of the mounting holes. Set the top head jamb (E) aside and, where marked, pre-drill 3/16″ holes 4″ inches deep. Return top head jamb to position and fasten to mounting surface using the provided one-way screws (M) and the supplied one-way driver tool (L).

Optional: Caps are included to help fully seal the top header jamb. Insert the caps into the top header jamb.
Note: Caps may be snug. Place a wood block over each end cap and gently tap in with a hammer.

Install the active side-jamb

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.

Make certain the jamb assembly is plumb, and mark the location of the mounting holes with a pencil. Set the jamb aside and, where marked, pre-drill 3/16″ holes.

Support active jamb with temporary screws:
Drive two of the #10 3-1/2″ dry wall screws (N) supplied into the middle holes (1 & 2 in the diagram on right) for the active-side jamb (B). These screws are inserted only to hold the security door frame plumb and will be removed and replaced in step 9.

Hang the doors to test fit

Hang the security doors (C & D) on the jamb hinges (A & B), holding the doors open at more than a 90° angle (see diagram at right), starting with the bottom pin first.

Align the lock

^^
Gap between doors (C & D) and both side jambs (A & B) should appear equal on each side with a minimal reveal of 1/8″, up to 1/4″.
NOTE: Rubber shims are reattached to inactive-side door and at the tops of doors to ensure proper reveal. Use these as reference.

Secure the jambs

Secure Inactive-side Jamb with One-way Screws:
Drill two 5/32″ diameter holes 3″ deep into the entryway trim mounting surface through holes 3 & 4 in the inactive-side jamb (A). Drive the one-way screws (M) through holes 3 & 4 into the entryway trim mounting surface using your drill and the supplied one-way driver tool (L).

Remove the two #10 3-1/2″ dry wall screws (N) installed in the inactive side jamb ( 1 & 2 in the diagram) and drill two 3/16″ diameter holes 3″ deep into the entryway trim mounting surface through holes 1 & 2. Drive two one-way screws (M) into holes 1 & 2 using your drill and the supplied one-way driver tool (L). Use a level at the top and bottom of the jamb (A) to make sure the jamb is level.

Secure active-side jamb with one-way screws:
Drill two 5/32″ diameter holes 3″ deep into the entryway trim mounting surface through holes 3 & 4 in the active-side jamb. Drive the one-way screws (M) through holes 3 & 4 into the entryway trim mounting surface using your drill and the supplied one-way driver tool (L).

Remove the two #10 3-1/2″ dry wall screws (N) installed in the active-side jamb ( 1 & 2 in the diagram) and drill two 3/16″ diameter holes 3″ deep into the entryway trim mounting surface through holes 1 & 2. Drive two one-way screws (M) into holes 1 & 2 using your drill and the supplied one- way driver tool (L). Use a level at the top and bottom of the jamb
(B) to make sure the jamb is level.

Install 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
The bottom bar (J) will need to be installed 1/8″ to 1/4″ lower than the existing doorway so that there is slope to the threshold. This allows any moisture to drain away from the door.

Bottom Bar Installation
Insert bottom bar into the left and right door jambs. Adjust the bottom bar (J) to the correct height. Using the predrilled holes in the center of each jamb (approximately 5/16″ up from the bottom), install the bottom bar (J) using four #8 self-tapping screws (O). Keep the drill on a low speed so the threads don’t strip out.

Install the threshold plate

1. The contour of door framing varies, making it necessary to cut the threshold plate (H) to fit. We recommend cutting a cardboard template to fit the opening first, to avoid cutting the threshold plate incorrectly.

Existing door contour

2. Lay provided cardboard template (P) on top of the bottom bar and push into existing threshold, as far as it will go. Using a straight edge, mark the template at the various widths of your existing moulding and trim at both ends.

Make cardboard template

3. Move template so that front edge is flush to the front edge of bottom bar (it is okay to bend template to allow to fit the shortest width between your moulding and trim). Mark at the various corners of your existing moulding and trim.

Fit template to contour

4. Using a box knife, cut template to shape of moulding and trim revealed by the markings. Test fit the template. (It should lay across the bottom bar, with the front edge flush to the front edge of the bottom bar, and fit in and around the corners of the existing moulding and trim.)

Cut template to contour

5. Once you have created a good template, use the template to mark the threshold plate.

Mark threshold plate

6. Using tin snips/aviator snips, cut threshold plate to match the shape of the template (6). Position threshold plate to extend across the bottom bar and into the existing threshold. Use 1/8” drill bit to pre-drill holes for mounting screws. Attach threshold plate to existing threshold using the provided screws.

Cut threshold plate to fit

Install the doors

Hang the security doors ( C & D) on the jamb hinges ( A & B), holding the door open at more than a 90° angle (see diagram below), starting with the bottom pin first.
Top View

Secure lower shoot bolt

Place a dab of caulk on the tip of the bottom shoot bolt on the inactive panel. Close the inactive door (C) and deploy the bottom shoot bolt so the caulk marks the threshold plate (H). Open the inactive panel (C) and remove the material in the spot marked on the threshold plate (H). Start with a 3/16″ drill bit and work up to the 7/16″ hole required to receive the bolt. Close the inactive panel (C) and deploy the shoot bolt to confirm proper operation.

Install the bug sweeps

Open one side of the door. Hold sweep in place and close the door. Allow the sweep to sit on the threshold plate (H).
Note: Be sure there is no 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. Attach the sweep to the bottom of the door, by the two outer holes, using the provided #8 black self- tapping screws (O). Test that the door opens and closes freely. If not, loosen the screws and make necessary adjustments. Re-tighten screws and test again. Repeat until successful. Pre-drill remaining hole and install the last #8 black-self tapping screw (O).

Repeat this step for the other door.

Determining Your Build Out Area Install the Door Closer and Wind Chain

(optional, purchased separately)

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions included with the win chain and door closer to install the win chain and door closer on your new security door.
Note: It is not required to use a win chain and door closer for your security door.

Touch up and lubricate

Caulk (not included)
Caulk around the outside of the security door jamb frame using paintable caulk and paint to the desired color.

Paintable caulk & gun
Touch-Up Paint
Shake the supplied touchup paint (K) vigorously for 2 minutes and paint the heads of the one-way screws as indicated in the diagram.

White Grease Lubricant (not included)
Use white grease to lubricate the hinges of your new security door every six months.

Care and maintenance

Over time, airborne dust, dirt, and impurities can accumulate, which will cause visual defects to the door or window screen and – if so equipped – the Meshtec screen, 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 Meshtec screen – if so equipped – 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 any excess water when done. For products including a Meshtec screen, pay particular attention to drying the screen to frame attachment area 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.
