Step-by-step instructions
Find the contact points
Close the door slowly and note where it meets the frame. Use any existing pads as a guide to placement and thickness.
Clean the surface
Peel away the old pads, wipe away residue with a cloth suitable for the finish and let the surface dry.
Stick on the new pads
Peel the backing and press a pad onto each contact point. Follow the packet instructions for pressure and curing time.
Check the close
Swing the door shut gently. It should meet the pads evenly and still sit in line with neighbouring doors.
Check the result
With the new pads set according to the packet, close the door at normal speed. The pads should take the impact without leaving the door sitting forward. If it still knocks, watch which corner makes contact first.
Troubleshooting
If the door sticks out after fitting, check for pads that are thicker than the originals.
