    Installation instructionsInstructions for installing your new
    Frame- Renew

    If your frame is broken, try to nail it back together so you have a smooth surface to start with, countersink the nails.

    Cut to proper length by first measuring from the top of the frame down to the centre of the latch plate hole, then measure the same distance on the Frame- Renew from the centre of the latch plate hole to the proper end and cut off there. (Measure carefully.)

    Next measure the full length of your frame from top to bottom, (cut your Frame- Renew so the latch plate hole on the Frame- Renew will line up with the latch plate hole on the frame).

    Carefully remove the casing on the latch side. With a scrap piece just cut off, try to fit it in between the door and the frame. If it fits without rubbing the door then you need only remove from the edge of the frame the thickness of the Frame- Renew so the casing will fit flush to the wall when you put it back on. If the door fits too tight you will have to take off the same amount from the face of the frame or plane your door to fit (if it is a wood door).

    When you are ready, hold the Frame- Renew in place and mark the frame for the striker plate and screws. Then chisel out the striker plate, then drill pilot holes for the security screws. Here you will have to use a drill or a chisel. Countersink holes about a 1/4 inch deep by 5/8 inch wide. The Frame- Renew must fit flush to the frame and must not stick out in any place or the door will rub. Install pilot screws to hold in proper place. Be careful when putting in the security screws that you don't wrinkle the Frame- Renew by over tightening.

    When all looks good and works well put the casing back on, install the striker plate for proper fit, and Enjoy your Extra Security.

    Mark the Frame-Renew top and bottom. With a chisel remove enough wood so the Frame-Renew will fit flush on the jamb.

    When the Frame-Renew is positioned right, mark the jamb for the two 3 inch screws.

    chisel or drill a hole about a 1/4 inch deep by 3/4 inch wide for screw dimples on Frame-Renew. Then chisel out jamb for the latch plate indent, and drill pilot holes for the two screws, a 3/16 inch bit is good for this.

    Instructions for installing your new
    Door-Renew

    Remove lock set and latch, carefully measure from top of door down to center latch hole. Take this measurement and measure from the center of the latch hole on the Door-Renew to either end of the Door-Renew and make a square cut at this point.

    Next measure, the full length of the door. Use the door measurement and match this measurement to the Door-Renew. The Door-Renew must be cut to the same length as the door. Remember: the cut must be made at the opposite end of the first cut. Using a file, smooth out rough edges caused when cutting the material.

    Take the scrap piece that you have just cut off, and place it on the edge of the door. Now, see if you have enough room to close the door without rubbing the jamb. If it rubs, you will have to plane the door down if possible, or move the jamb over a little. You will have to take off the casing on the latch side only, pull out shims which may be on top, bottom and middle.

    With a block of wood, gently knock jamb over enough to give clearance for the door.

    Place the Door-Renew over the edge of the door. Make sure latch holes match up on both door and Door-Renew. Hold securely in place then drill pilot holes for the screws on the Door-Renew. Put screws in straight, do not strip or over tighten which may cause wrinkling. You may have to change your latch to a drive in type.

     


    Before and After Installing the Dead Bolt Lockmate

    Install about 5" - 6" above the lock set or where the existing dead bolt is (align carefully). Lay the lockmate on the rabbited part of the jamb and mark for width, this area must be chiseled out the thickness of the lockmate material.


    Before and After
    The back part will go behind the jamb. If on a new frame use the two shorter screws and screw to the back of the frame.

    On existing frame be sure to shim between frame and wall before putting in the two 3" screws. When it is fitted (but not screwed in) mark and drill a 1" hole for the dead bolt latch.

    Groove out jamb for dimple holes on lockmate. Do not over tighten screws.
