Troubleshooting
Deflector is not effectively diverting water.
Ensure the deflector is installed with the angled edge facing outwards and correctly positioned against the bottom of the door. Verify there is a sufficient gap under the door for water to flow away. Check that the deflector is not blocked by debris.
Water is still entering the property.
Confirm the deflector is securely attached and covers the entire width of the door bottom. Re-evaluate the gap under the door; if it is too large, the deflector may not be sufficient on its own. Consider additional weatherproofing measures if the gap is excessive.
Screws are not holding the deflector in place.
Use screws appropriate for your door material and the deflector. Ensure the door material is solid enough to accept screws. If fixing to a hollow door, consider using anchors or a strong, weather-resistant adhesive specifically designed for outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the door bottom is clean and dry. Position the rain deflector against the bottom of the door, aligning it so the angled edge faces outwards. Secure it using appropriate screws (not included) through the pre-drilled holes or by adhering it with a strong, weather-resistant adhesive suitable for metal and door materials. Trim to size if necessary before permanent fixing.
Compatibility: This deflector is designed for use on exterior doors where a gap exists between the bottom of the door and the threshold. It is compatible with most standard wooden, metal, and uPVC doors. The 34mm width is suitable for moderate gaps.
Care: Clean the deflector periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the aluminum surface. Check for any debris accumulation and clear it to maintain optimal performance.
