Getting Started
1
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 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.

PRODUCT MEASURING GUIDE
Measure for Rough Opening Height

Surface Mount
Measure the depth from the corner of your mounting
surface to your existing entry door hardware. If this
measurement is 1-1/2" or greater there is no potential
for hardware interference. If the measurement is less
than 1-1/2", 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 1-1/2" 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.
Measuring Width

Measure for Rough Opening Width
Measure for the rough opening you
identified in Step 2 (Figures 1-5). Measure
the top, middle and the bottom of the
door opening. The smallest of the three
measurements will be your rough opening
width. Enter that measurement on the
measurement worksheet and follow the
instructions to determine if a standard size
door will fit.

Measure the depth from the corner of your mounting

measurement is 2-5/8" or greater there is no potential
for hardware interference. If the measurement is less
than 2-5/8", 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 2-5/8" clearance. If either of these
two measurements falls between 40-1/4" and 44-
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.
