Full instruction come with all products but here is guide to fitting the most popular types:
Check condition of door, ie hinges, its vertical plumbness etc. If in poor condition please call us before fitting. As 95% of doors are two metres high door hinge guards are cut to 1.960 metres in length making cutting a very rare requirement during fitting.
If you need to cut to size ensure the guard is not more than 20mm short of the door top or bottom, unless fitting for toddlers only, ensure no more than 20mm from the bottom.
Where footplates or kickplates are encountered always try to fit the device over them, except in extreme cases where they are just too thick to get over. In these rare situations the installer must bring the matter to the attention of the customer, who must then decide to either remove, cut and refit the kick plate or run the risk of an accident.
Front Hinge Guard
1.
With the door in the closed position, place the wooden
marker block (supplied) vertically against the frame. With a pencil
held at the side of the block on the frame side,slide the block from
the top of the door to the bottom,ensuring that the pencil moves in
conjunction with the block leaving a pencil mark guideline down the
frame.
2.
With the door still in the closed position, place the wooden
marker block vertically against the door and repeat the same process
of step 1, thereby leaving a pencil guideline on both the door and the
frame
3.
Now wedge the door in the fully open position. (For
metal doors and kick-plates pre-drill with 2.5mm drill bit.)
4.
Remove one layer only of the double sided tape
from each side of the device.
.
5.
Line up the edge of the device parallel to the guideline/pencil
line on the frame. Press firmly to hold in position before finally
securing with the screws provided, if required, ensuring that there
is a screw in every hole of the device
6.
Repeat this procedure to attach the device to the door itself.
Rear Hinge Guard
Check condition of door, ie hinges, its vertical plumbness etc. If in poor condition please call us before fitting.
As 95% of doors are two metres high the rear hinge guard is cut to 1.960 metres in length making cutting a very rare requirement during fitting. If you need to cut to size ensure the guard is not more than 20mm short of the door top or bottom, unless fitting for toddlers only, ensure no more than 20mm from the bottom.
Where footplates or kickplates are encountered always try to fit the
device over them, except in extreme cases where they are just too thick
