Several key points should be noted when installing an iron door to ensure its functionality, safety, and durability:
- Accurate Measurement: Before purchasing and installation, measure the size of the rough opening accurately to ensure the iron door matches the dimensions. Consider the size of the door frame and whether there is a need for a gap to allow the door to open and close normally. Leave appropriate gaps between the iron door and the frame, as well as the ground, to prevent friction and damage.

- Level and Plumb: Ensure the iron door is level and plumb during installation to guarantee smooth operation and to avoid long-term damage caused by tilting.Make sure the lock in the correct position to ensure the tongue engages properly in the lock slot, and make sure the lock is securely fixed.
- Solid Foundation: The door frame must be installed on a solid and level surface, ensuring that the connection between the frame and the wall or floor is secure to support the weight of the iron door.
- Adjustment and Calibration: After installation, adjust and calibrate the iron door to ensure there is no abnormal friction or sticking during the opening and closing process.
- Follow Manufacturer's Guidelines: Each iron door manufacturer may have specific installation guidelines; following these will ensure proper installation and may affect warranty terms.
- Professional Installation: It is best to have the iron door installed by professional installers to ensure safety and correct installation.
