B
oth the A101 and the A102 series
come with or without an alarm
feature. the A101 series has an
automatic relocking feature that
extends the locking bolt automatically
when the door is closed. The A102
series is a manual version and the
device has to be locked by hand when
the door is closed. For doors with a
frame greater then 6-3/4” (up to 12-
3/4”) S & G offers a “Low Profile”
installation kit (Part number A104-
001) which will accommodate all the
Arm-A-Dor models. Each lock carries
a five year limited warranty.
Now, why do you think this ol’ boy
is so excited over the Arm-A-Dor?
Because I just installed one on a fast-
food outlet belonging to one of my
regular customers and I want you to
know I was impressed with the overall
installation, the quality of the product
and the protection it will obviously
offer my customer. If you’ll bear with
me, I’ll show you
how easy these
units install, where
they can be sold
and, in general, give
you enough infor-
mation on Arm-A-
Dor for you to seri-
ously increase your
shekel intake over
the next few years or so.
Aside from the sale itself, there are
five considerations to be taken into
account by the installer. They are:
Preparation, Marking and Drilling,
Mounting the Assembly, and the
Operation of the Product. In addition
to a solid instruction manual, S&G has
produced an installation video that is
an excellent aid for the first-time Arm-
A-Dor installer. You can obtain that
video through your local distributor
when you order your first Arm-A-Dor.
Preparation:
Part of the preparation is making
sure that the door you want to install
an Arm-A-Dor on is in good shape.
Make sure the door closes properly
and is not sagging or binding in any
way. Check to make sure the door is
rigid. That is that the door does not
“flex” because of broken stiles, rails or
headers. If the door is not in prime
condition, you’re going to have trouble
getting your Arm-A-Dor to deliver its
full potential as a security device.
