Installing Your Continental 5 Lite Door

Once you decide on the options and look of your new door, it is time to begin the installation process. This is actually pretty easy and straightforward because Knockety makes it easy for professionals and DIY installers alike. Here are a few tips to help you get your new door installed.

Measuring the Right Way

Before installing your new door, you should measure the dimensions of your existing external door. You want to take an exact and detailed measurement of this old door. Make sure to write them down so that you know your new door will fit. If you choose to install a slab door, you will want to measure the door's width, height, and depth. You'll want to round up to the nearest inch.

When ordering a pre-hung door, there are some additional measurements you should take as well. These are:

• The jamb width
• The exterior opening
• The rough opening

Taking Out the Old Door and Installing the Continental 5 Lite

While you need the right tools for the job, this is a very DIY-capable process. Installing your new door will depend on whether you are using a slab or pre-hung door in knowing what you will have to do.

• Once the old door is out, you will take steps such as:
• Making sure the door sill is perfectly level
• Lining up the new door with the rough opening
• Putting in the hinges and connecting the door to the frame
• Installing lock and handle hardware
