Installation

NOTE: Door is removed for illustrative purposes

only. Application of Jamb Shield should not re-

quire removal of door.

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 short leg should rest ush against the inside

edge of the jamb.

It may be necessary to slightly raise the edge of

the trim molding to allow proper positioning.

2. While ensuring that the Jamb Shield remains

properly positioned, with an 11/64 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 accommo-

date this length.

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,

then tap down any raised trim moulding. The EZ

Armor installation is now complete.
