Preparing For and Installing Your Package Protector™ PORT
Position and Level Package Protector™ PORT
A. The Package Protector™ PORT may be installed on an existing concrete pad/foundation at
least 4” thick.
B. Place the PORT cabinet in the desired installation location.
C. Remove the lower-front panel from the cabinet.
1). Use the #2 square-tip 1/4” hex-shank insert
driver bit included in the hardware kit (refer
to “Hardware and Component List” on
p. 4) placed into a cordless driver, to
remove the two (2) screws from the panel.
2). Pull the panel out at the bottom and down
from behind the PORT package-box trim.

D. Remove and discard the plastic push-in rivets
which hold the two mounting brackets and two
skirt plates in place inside the lower compartment
of the PORT cabinet.
E. Remove the two mounting brackets and two skirt
plates from the cabinet, and set them aside for
later installation.
F. Adjust the individual leveling bolts down with a
9/16” wrench until the unit is level.
1). You should only have to adjust 3 of the 4
leveling bolts. The leveling bolt that remains
unadjusted is the leveling bolt located in the
highest spot on the concrete slab.
2). A 2-ft level with a centered bubble across
the top, sides, and front ensures the cabinet
is level and plumb. A failure to do this
properly will likely cause problems with the
Package Protector™ PORT operation.

G. Tighten the jam nuts on all four (4) of the leveling
bolts with a 9/16” wrench to lock the leveling
bolts in their leveled position.
Attach Mounting Brackets to PORT Cabinet
Install the two (2) mounting brackets and two (2) skirt plates back inside the lower compartment of
the PORT cabinet. The skirt plates close the gap beneath the leveled cabinet and the concrete.
A. Rest the mounting brackets on the concrete pad
and position them directly against the side panel
structural tubes.
B. Position the skirt plates between the ends of the
mounting brackets and the front and back of the
cabinet, and pushed down against the concrete
pad.
• Be sure both skirt plates are in place
before drilling the holes in Step C), to
ensure that the mounting brackets are
positioned in proper alignment.
C. Use the 11/64” diameter drill bit included in the
hardware kit (refer to “Hardware and Component
List” on p. 4) to drill through six (6) holes in
each mounting bracket.
• Drill the six holes (one in each column of
holes) that best align with the side panel
structural tube in the side of the cabinet.
• The holes should only be drilled through
the tube wall which is directly against the
mounting bracket (approximately 1/4”
thick).

Drill Anchor Holes and Attach PORT to Concrete
A. With a hammer drill and 7/16” masonry bit, drill
holes through the anchor holes in each end of
the mounting brackets to a depth of 4 inches into
the concrete.
• If you successfully drill all four anchor holes
to full depth, go to Step F.
• Otherwise, if you can’t apply enough
pressure on the drill to completely drill the
holes while positioned inside the cabinet,
just use the drill to mark the placement of the
holes on the concrete and proceed to Step
B.
B. Move the cabinet out of the way to reveal the
drill marks. Finish each hole in the concrete by
drilling to full depth.
C. Move the cabinet back over the holes drilled into
the concrete.
• You only need to align one hole in one of the
mounting brackets with the appropriate hole
in the concrete.
D. Install a single Tapcon® anchor bolt with an
impact driver and 3/4” socket, but do not tighten
all the way.
E. Rotate/pivot the cabinet around the single
previously installed anchor until the rest of the
holes in the mounting brackets align with the
holes drilled in the concrete.
F. Install Tapcon® anchor bolts into all of the holes
with an impact driver and 3/4” socket.
G. Ensure all anchor bolts are tight.

gap behind the lower PORT package-box trim
and push the bottom of the panel against the
cabinet.
B. Secure the lower-front panel to the cabinet using
a #2 square-tip 1/4” hex-shank insert driver bit
and the two (2) screws removed at the start of the
installation.
Reinstall screws.
