Acoustical Door Jamb #170 & 770 Installation

Tools Required Razor Knife Measuring tape Drill Screwdriver Metal saw

Procedure

Step 1:
Measure the top inside width of the door opening along the doorstop. Transfer this measurement to the short piece of door jamb. Cut neoprene first at the mark with a razor knife and then cut with a metal saw. Place cut door jamb to the bottom of the doorstop to check for fit. Trim to size if required. Screw door jamb to doorstop with the neoprene facing the door. Be sure door makes correct contact with neoprene before you fasten. Too much neoprene exposure will prevent the door from closing. Too little neoprene contact will not permit a good seal. With the hardware, provided, screw door jamb to stop using the slotted holes. Close door and check for proper contact. By loosing the screws, you will be able to make fine adjustments.

Step 2:
After the top (horizontal) door jamb has been mounted you can now install the two vertical pieces. Measure down the stop from the bottom of the door jamb just installed to the floor or threshold. Be sure to measure both sides. Transfer these measurements to the remaining long pieces of sound trap. Follow the same cutting and fastening procedure you previously performed on the top piece. Again, check for proper door closure.

Step 3:
Using screwdriver, adjust the stainless steel adjusting screw to ensure proper contact or seal. (See diagram above)
