check_circle
DO's

● Can be conformable up to 10mm

● Cut be cut with a hack saw

● Press out firmly when fitting

DONT's

● Do not fit in full weather

● Not suitable on pivot doors


check_circle
DO's

● Carefully fit screws to centre of slot to allow for minor adjustment

● Order correct set for your door

● Pilot the door jam to minimise risk of accidentally screwing into the silicone

● Read the instructions carefully

● Take great care cutting the seal — it is easily torn and difficult to replace

DONT's

● Do not machine cut with seal in place

● Do not fit hard up onto the door — you won’t be able to close the door!

check_circle
DO's

● Ensure door has sufficient gap for the

● RP120 to fit. If it doesn’t fit, it isn’t going to fit

● Pull both liners out together while holding the seal firmly to the corner of the door rebate

DONT's

● Do not try to install on existing door where one has not been installed before — replace existing product only, or where door has been hung to accommodate the seal


check_circle
DO's

● Only suitable for smooth surfaces

● Must be at least 2mm of gap between edge of door and jam

● Maximum of 7mm gap

DONT's

● Do not try to adhere to a rough surface — it will fall off

● Can’t be screw fixed

● Don’t use where the non adhesive side of the door is a rough surface — the door action will drag it off

● Don’t expect EMV to stop door obanging in the wind (use Draught Dodgers instead)

 TOP 6 MISTAKES 
filter_1

Fitting EMV when there is insufficient clearance between the door and jamb causing the door to bind (difficult to open and close).

filter_2
Incorrect measurements! 
filter_3
Fitting Draught Dodgers without the packer. 
filter_4

Fitting Draught Dodgers without looking at the red/green dots to work out right and left.

filter_5
RP78 — the driver slipping off the screw and tearing a hole in the silicone seal — there is no silicone seal replacement.
filter_6
Incorrect sequence of installation:
* Draught Dodgers - install RP3 or RP35 first, then  Draught Dodgers
* If fitting RP78, fit RP78 first, then Draught Excluder on bottom of door
* If fitting RP120 or EMV, the sequence of installation does not matter
