BTI Door Installation
The installation of the BTI training door is straightforward and most likely
self-explanatory by visual examination.
Caution: Through our physical testing of actual doors during the
development of this product, forces in excess of 3000 lbs. have been seen
during a breach. Therefore it is advisable to anchor or mount your
product accordingly. Typical house construction methods are not
adequate for the numerous breaches for which this product has been
designed. If you are unsure of your mounting methods, please consult a
professional about these loads.
Free Standing. The Free Standing Kit may be installed to allow the door to
be utilized in a multitude of locations and scenarios. The accompanying
diagram shows the assembly method and mounting hole locations for a
typical BTI training door.
Your freestanding kit includes stakes for anchoring on soft surfaces such as
gravel and asphalt. Alternate methods using “ram set” or similar methods
may be used on hard surfaces.
Wall Installation. Installation of a typical BTI training door into an
existing or new frame type structure is shown in the accompanying diagram.
Provisions for mounting the training door in a “pre-hung” fashion have been
provided in the four metal mounting ears and the frame guard as shown.
Alternate means of mounting such as face mounting or welding are up to the
purchaser. However, BTI Inc. cannot warrantee products, which are
mounted in ways that weaken the frame or structure, or are inconsistent with
our design and testing.
Although spent pins that occasionally stick into the socket after
breaching may be removed by pulling with a hook-type tool, it
is consistently easier to poke them out rather than pull them
out.
