InstallationGuide
IMPORTANT!Make sure the back box
protrudes far enough out(0.118” or 3mm)
from the exterior wall surface (brick, rock,
stucco, wood, concrete, and so on) to allow
the plate and gasket to seal the Door Station
(see Figure 2). Failure to do so may void the
warranty if damaged by water entering the
back box.
