Suggested
Manufacturer: EZ-Set
or Kwik-Set Model: Lockset & Deadbolt
Combination Set Color: Brushed Chrome Available From: HomeBase Cost:~$15 (Wow!) Note: You can buy these locks separately but its cheaper to buy them as a combination set. For a few more dollars ($5.50 per lock), HomeBase will re-key the locks to match your existing front door key, so one key fits all. It's well worth it! |

Note: These Hex lag screws (shown left)
make it a LOT easier to attach the security door to your existing front door
frame, as you don't need to use a screwdriver, just a wrench. The 'one-way' screws
(shown right) that come with the door are VERY tough to drive in and
impossible to remove! Number of Lag Screws
Required: 8
Screws Size: Hex head, 3/8" Diameter x
3.5" Long (Labeled as H5 on lag screw head) Available From: Homebase Cost: $1.39 each |

Note: This sweep is just to keep the
bugs from crawling under your security door. Choose the style and size that you think works best with your doormat. Suggested
Manufacturer:
Pemko Description: White Rubber Flexible Seal (could
also use brush type) Size: 36" Length x 2 1/4"
Height x 1/4" Width Available From: HomeBase Cost: $5-$10 Important Installation Note: You should measure how large of a gap there is between the bottom of your screen door and the floor or doormat to make sure you get the right height sweep. You'll also need some (six to eight) small (3/8" long), self-tapping screws to attach the sweep to the bottom of the security door. |

Note: These doors start rusting about
1 year after installation so it's a good idea to get a can of the right spray
paint now and you can touchup any scratches you find during installation.
This paint needs no primer and prevents rust! Suggested
