Getting Started

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 xtures, door bell, low overhang, door
handle of your existing door, and trees, bushes, or hanging plants.
The security door will require a minimum mounting surface of 1" on the trim above, on both sides and 1" deep of the
entry door. Mounting screws must be secured to a stud in the wall. Review Figures 1-4 to determine which mounting
method you can and wish to use and the rough opening measurement.
