Installing OEM Hinge Reinforcements 

and Check Strap  

CONTINUED 

 Place rivets into bracket/door holes (five 

on upper bracket, four on lower bracket). 
Use the riveting tool to squeeze and 
secure the rivets in place.

 Once the adhesive has cured, replace the 

inner door trim.

10 

 Pre-bend the check strap, and use a 

1/2” wrench to remove the top bolt on 
the upper door hinge on the vehicle side. 
Mount the check strap so the strap is 
facing outward before replacing door.

11 

Hang the door back on the vehicle, 

secure check strap to the door hinge bolt 
and replace and tighten hinge nuts while 
applying positive upward pressure on the 
bottom of the door. This helps prevent 
door sag and misalignment during door 
installation. 

 

 

NOTE:

 The installed strap helps 

prevent over-extension of the vehicle 
door. Adjustments to the door hinge 
will be made after armor is installed 
for proper alignment due to the added 
weight of the armor. Nut torqueing will 
occur after final adjustment.

12 

 After the check strap is installed, push 

the strap in while slowly closing the door. 
This inward motion creates a memory for 
the strap, allowing the door to close in 
the same manner. 

  Figure 19. Proper placement of the secured check strap.

13 

 Reconnect the wires and wire harness 

between the door and vehicle.

Preparing for Ballistic Door Panel 

Installation

  Open the front driver-side door and 

lower the window glass completely.

 Turn off the vehicle ignition switch, and 

remove the key.
