Door
Measurements
How to gather the dimensions
necessary to determine which
model of Door Jamb Armor™ will
meet your specific application.
Door thickness: This measurement represents the thickness of the door slab
between the exterior and the interior surfaces. The current Door Shield™ components are
made for doors that measure 1-3/4 inches in thickness. Doors measuring 1-3/8 inches
are generally interior doors.
Lock spacing: This measurement represents the spacing between the locking
hardware. It should be taken by measuring from the mid-point of the upper lock bolt to
the mid-point (center) of the lower lock bolt. This measurement should be 5-1/2 inches
for standard Door Jamb Armor™ consideration and from 4 to 21 inches distance from
the edge of the door to the center of the lock boltfor the universal application.
Lock back-set: This measurement represents the distance from the edge of
the door to the center of the lock bolt. This should be taken by measuring from the
edge of the door slab to the center of the lock cylinder. This measurement should
either be 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches in order for the Door Shield™ component to be
used for your application.
Interior jamb width: This measurement represents the space between the
interior edge of the door jamb to the door sealing surface (door stop). When taking this
measurement it is most important that you measure behind the weather stripping to
the point where it seats into the jamb. This measurement should be at least 2 inches. If
this measurement is considerably more or less than this Door Jamb Armor™ may not
work for your application.
Hinge length: This measurement represents the height of the hinge bracket.
Ideally this measurement should be around 4-1/2 inches. If it is greater than 5 inches,
the current Hinge Shields™ will not work for your application.

Jamb thickness: This measurement represents the thickness of the interior
jamb edge. To take this measurement a section of the vertical trim molding may need
to be removed. You can also get this measurement through the hole in the strike plate.
This measurement should be approximately 3/4-inch. If it is considerably more or less
than this, you may need to consider EZ Armor or Adjust-A-Jamb.
Side light jamb thickness: All measurements for a side light door are the
same as for a standard door, except for the jamb thickness. This is a measurement of
the jamb thickness between the door and side light. To get this measurement, measure
the width of the raised area between the door and side light. This will likely be 1 or 1.5
inches. For jamb thickness between 1 and 1.5 inches, the 1-inch side light set will work.
