DIY Installation Guides NZ
Measure / Choose / Install
1. How to Measure
Choosing the right security product starts with measuring the opening you want to protect. In most cases, you only need two measurements:
- Width – the distance across the opening
- Height – the distance from the bottom to the top of the opening
Measure the opening itself, not the glass or moving parts of the window or door.
2. Two Common Installation Methods
-
-
The security product is installed inside the frame, running parallel to the window or door. Strongest installation method.
-
-
The security product is installed onto the face of the frame or wall surface, sitting outside the opening.
