Step 3: Secure HAVEN to Floor

WARNING: Locking Gate must be down when screwing in the unit or damage could occur.

• 1Line up HAVEN with the pilot holes in the floor

  Before you place your HAVEN on the ground to be installed, make sure you have removed the top cover of the locking gate. If you have not done this, head back to STEP 1 Prep Your Haven.

  

  If you have removed the cover, place your HAVEN on the ground and match the drill holes in the bottom of the unit with the 6 drill holes you have made. Your HAVEN should be at the center point of your door that you have marked and it should be parallel with the line you have drawn of the floor to indicate the correct distance from the door.
• 2Secure Haven to the Floor

  Now that your HAVEN is placed in the correct position on your floor it is time to use the install screws provided in the box to secure HAVEN to the floor. The installs screws included in the box are #10 1 x 3/4 inch stainless steel screws. These screws are ONLY for installing HAVEN into a hardwood floor or subfloor. If you have a different sub floor than hardwood, we strongly suggest stopping the install here and looking at our Concrete install instructions.

  If you do have a Hardwood subfloor, take one of your install screws and line it up to be screwed in one of the outer drilled holes. You want to install the screws on the outside first, alternating sides each screw while working your way towards the center of the unit: Far left, Far right, Far Left, Far Right.

  Use a power drill to firmly screw the install screw into the drilled hole. Make sure to keep the screw straight as you drill down. Go slowly. Drill the screw so that it is tight against the bottom of the unit and then stop. Do not over tighten as this will cause damage to the unit.

  Use all six install screws to make sure your HAVEN is secure. If you have any issues or problems contact us.
