Safe and protective installation:
When installing the aluminum door, make sure the connection with the wall is tight. The locking points are installed correctly and firmly. We need to make sure that the door is flexible to open and close, and not rusty or deformed.
Use protective materials:
Before installation, you can paste plastic protective tape or film on the surface of the aluminum door frame to prevent corrosion and pollution of construction materials such as cement mortar.
