SECTION C: Installing the barrier(s)

1A.1   Clear any dirt or debris from the doorstep 

and reveals. For an enhanced seal, double 
over filler to create a thick strip.

1A.4   Position the barrier vertically, between 

the reveals in the centre of the doorway 
(Ratchet Handle facing inwards). Hold the 
Barrier firmly in place at the Lifting Handles 
until secure within the reveals

STEP 1A: POSITION A SINGLE BARRIER

•  Follow these instructions carefully, see

demonstration videos available online

•  Wear gloves to prevent injury from

pinch points and contamination from
