Additional Tips:

  • If your door has a decorative trim around the lockset, you might need to make slight adjustments to the Door Armor MINI Shield placement for proper fit.
  • Door Armor MINI Door Shields come in three colors (White, Aged Bronze, and Satin Nickel). Choose the color that best complements your door for a discreet yet effective security upgrade.

1. Prepare the Night Lock (for floor mounting):

  • Important Note: This step requires drilling into the floor. If you have tile flooring, consider consulting a professional for proper installation to avoid damaging the tiles.

    • Use this hole for initial placement, marking additional screw points through the designated holes on the shield if needed.
    • Pre-drill pilot holes and secure the Hinge Shield to the door jamb using the provided screws.

My Door is Too Tight - Door Armor Won't Fit

We always try to make sure that people perform the 2 quarter test before purchasing Door Armor.  If your door is too tight, there are a few tricks that you can try.

  1. Try to over-tighten the screws in the middle hinge and hinge shield.  Believe it or not, this will often create more room on the other side of the door.
  2. Try to over-tighten the screws in the Jamb Shield, around the lock area.  Most doors have extra space behind the doorjamb.  This often works to give you a little extra space.
  3. If the door is still to tight, the Pro Door Shields are made specifically for doors with minimal clearance between the door and door frame.  The article below talks about the difference between the MINI and PRO Door Shields - Will Door Armor Fit - 2 quarters clearance
