The Door Defense is easy to install, requiring little more than a power drill with a screwdriver bit, a pair of scissors (or a utility knife), the Door Defense kit, and just a few minutes of your time.
Instructions for installation:
- Remove any existing weather-stripping from the doorframe
- Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the doorknob hole on the doorframe
- Remove the top OR bottom tab on the Door Defense unit so that the unit matches the height of doorframe from the floor to the doorknob hole on the doorframe
- Cut the weather-stripping at the point on the Door Defense unit where the tab was removed
- Position the Door Defense unit over the existing deadbolt and doorknob holes
- *Optional: Using a 1/8-inch drill bit, drill pilot holes in the screw hole locations on the doorframe
- Using the screws provided, attach the Door Defense to the door frame
