Installation of the Republic Fiberglass Door

Installation is the next step once you've decided on the overall look as well as what swing type fits your home. Installation may seem like a daunting task if you've never done it before, but the process is made simple with Knockety.

Measuring Properly

The area where your door will live must be measured, even before selecting a door. If you don't measure correctly, or at all, you risk an improper fit as well as dysfunction. What you will need to do is measure the exact dimensions of the door that you will be replacing with the Republic Fiberglass Door. The measurements you need are the door's width, height, and depth. Once you have those, round up to the nearest inch.

If you opt for a pre-hung Republic Fiberglass Door, add the following to your measurements list:

Width of the jamb

The opening of the exterior

The rough opening

A Properly Hung Door

The installation of your new door will depend on whether or not you ordered a pre-hung door. Even if you haven't, there are key things you must do once you've taken out your old door and installed the Republic door:

• Ensure the door sill is level
• Be sure to line up the new door with the rough opening
• Install the proper hinges flush to the door
• Attach the door at the proper height in the doorway
• Install a lock as well as the hardware for the handle
