What you will need:

- Measuring tape
- Pencil
- Side cutters or pliers
- Hacksaw
How to Install:
This video shows how to install and RP2a, however, the technique to install an RP57 is exactly the same.
Pro Tips:
- Check the sweep of the door to make sure this is the right product for your home.
- Always cut the carrier and brush separately. This protects the brush so bristles won’t fall out.
- Once the parts are reassembled, use pliers to squeeze together the end of the carrier so the brush can’t slide out.
- Surfaces must be clean and smooth to ensure good adhesion. If the bottom of the door is rough or not straight, then screw fixing is the best option.
- Press firmly along the adhesive twice for a strong bond with the door surface.
- Pair the RP57 with a door perimeter seal such as Draught Dodgers or EMV Seal to seal the other 3 edges of the door (two sides and the top).
- RP57 can be screw fixed but the aluminum carrier is narrow, so it may be damaged during drilling and fixing.
