Jamb Shield
Installation
NOTE: Door is removed for illustrative purposes
only. Application of Jamb Shield should not re-
quire removal of door.
NOTE: Installation of both Jamb Shield and
Door Shield requires approximately 1/16” of
space. If this space is not available, additional
space can usually be created by overtighten-
ing the screws in the Jamb Shield or center
Hinge Shield by 1/2 of a turn. If this does not
result in necessary clearance, please call
customer service.
1. Position the Jamb Shield taking care to ensure
that the holes line up with the lock bolt holes in the
door jamb. Using your thumb, punch out the holes
that line up with the locks on your door. The long
leg of the of the Jamb Shield should t behind the
weather stripping.
When placed properly, the edge of the long leg
should be hidden by the weather stripping.
The bend of the short leg should rest ush against
the bend in the jamb.
2. While ensuring that the Jamb Shield remains
properly positioned, with a 9/64 in. drill bit, pre-drill
the holes for the Jamb Shield as laid out in the
diagram. (Note: It may be easier to hold the Jamb
Shield in place and mark the holes with a pencil
and then pre-drill the holes) The supplied securing
screws are more than 3 inches long so pre-drilling
should be deep enough to accommodate this
length. Note: If your kit contains screws with
a square drive, pre-drilling might not be neces-
sary.
3. Check to verify the door and door jamb are still
true. If the door is not true, take all neccessary
steps to correct this issue before proceeding.
4. Secure the door jamb with the Jamb Shield at-
tached to the rough frame with the supplied 3-1/2
inch screws . Drive screws until the heads seat
ush against the door jamb.
NOTE: Take care not to over tighten the screws
as this may cause unwanted jamb displacement.
5. Once installation is complete, verify that the
locks can function properly without interference
from the Jamb Shield. If there is interference, ad-
just the Jamb Shield until the locks operate freely.
