Five Common Installation Errors

To ensure you get the best performance possible, be sure to avoid the following common installation errors:

1. Do not mount surface hardware to the door seals.
   
   Find and use the protective "ZEE" brackets provided by Krieger.

2. Do not notch the thresholds for the stops.
   
   Cut the sound seals to sit on top of the threshold.
3. Do not center the threshold in the door jamb.
   
   The lead edge of the threshold should extend a minimum of 2" into the room on the door swing side.
4. Do not butt joint the corner of the neoprene seal at the top corner.
   
   They must be mitered and glued so the fingers line up.
5. Allow several days for the paint to cure before closing the doors on the sound gasketing.
   
   If the paint is not completely cured the seals will leave black marks on the doors.
