FIX-A-JAMB II Installation Instructions

1. Carefully remove door trim molding around the area of the jamb needing

repair. This is best done with a pry bar or the back end of a claw-foot hammer.

This material can and should be reinstalled upon installation completion.

2. Positioning the Fix-A-Jamb over the jamb so that the holes align with the lock

bolt holes in the doorjamb. When placed properly the edge of the short leg

should be against the door jamb stop.

3. While ensuring the Fix-A-Jamb component remains properly positioned shim

secure it into place with the attached screws. No pre-drilling is required with

the screws for the Interior FIX-A-JAMB piece. For the Exterior FIX-A-JAMB

piece, it may be necessary to pre-drill a hole, using a 11/64” drill bit.

4. Secure the doorjamb with the Fix-A-Jamb attached to the rough frame with the

be painted. Understand that you only want to rough the surface and break the gloss. Do not totally

remove the existing powder coating.

2. Clean the surface with a tack cloth or a cloth with a cleaner on it that will not leave a residue.

Rubbing alcohol will work well for this application. You can also use mineral spirits or

other chemicals but make sure that whatever you use does not cause an adverse reaction

with the power coating.

3. When components are clean and free of debris you are ready to paint your pieces.
