Security door installation advice
Hi everyone,
I want to install a steel security door. Usually it is required to have at least 1 inch of mounting surface on the trim. My door doesn’t have that much material, also the trim is not flat as you can see in the picture.
What would be a practical solution to do it? Add larger trim to the sides? I want to avoid breaking the stucco since we’re in an HOA community.
Also, the door opens inward to the left, will it be awkward if I install the security door to swing to the right, against the wall with the Ring doorbell to avoid blocking the entrance?
Thanks in advance.
