FAQ

Find answers to the most common questions about fencing & metal stock.

Fencing & Metal Stock

Install a high-quality exhaust fan (minimum 50 CFM for standard bathrooms) vented to the exterior, not just the attic. Consider humidity-sensing models that automatically control moisture levels.

Use bolt cutters or an angle grinder with a metal-cutting disc. Secure the chain in a vise first.

Check for dirty condenser coils, a faulty door seal, or overloading blocking airflow. Clean coils and adjust contents.

Use the template included in the pack, drill pilot holes, and test alignment before securing screws. Adjust strike plate position if needed.
