When Alex Bertelli first deployed to Iraq in 2008, he didn’t know that he’d find his passion and his life’s work welded to the inside of a door outside of Tikrit. He was headed to the Middle East as a helicopter pilot with an Army Special Operations team flying active...
Does your door open inward?
It’s not you, it’s physics.
We’re sorry, but as of now Haven Lock only works with doors that open inward. To perform at maximum potential, the force must be directed inward, toward the lock.
Please, contact us with any additional questions.
Does your door pass the nickel test?
HAVEN is 0.8 inches high and should fit in the clearance path of most doors. A standard USD Nickel can be used to gauge the gap perfectly. Take a nickel, stand it on its end and make sure that it can pass under your door. If there is more room under your door swing than a nickel's worth, don't worry, one riser is included in the box to match the door height. If you need more risers, you can add them to your cart at checkout.
Your door needs adjustments.
HAVEN can work, but your door needs to be adjusted so HAVEN fits securely in the clearance gap. Please contact us with any additional questions.
What kind of flooring do you have?
Your floor might not work.
HAVEN can work on a variety of different floor types, as long as it can be firmly secured to the subfloor. Ideally, the installation screws will be drilled at least one inch into the subfloor. Different floors may need different tools for installation. Please, contact us with any additional questions.
Congrats!
You passed the compatibility test.
Because you have concrete floors
To install HAVEN on concrete floors you need extra tools that don’t normally come with the lock. You can purchase the concrete install kit for an additional $12.
