3. Setup & Installation
For Hinged Inward-Opening Doors:
- Prepare the Bar: Ensure the Y-type cap is attached to the top of the bar.
- Adjust Length: Use the push button to adjust the inner tube to the desired length. The bar should be long enough to reach from the floor to just below your doorknob/handle when placed at an angle.
- Position the Bar: Place the Y-type cap securely under the doorknob or handle.
- Secure to Floor: Ensure the rubber foot at the bottom is flat against the ground, creating a firm, non-slip base. The suggested installation angle for best effect is approximately 60 degrees from the door.

For Sliding Doors & Windows:
- Prepare the Bar: Attach the round rubber caps to both ends of the bar.
- Adjust Length: Adjust the length of the bar by rotating either tube until it fits snugly within the sliding door or window frame.
- Align and Secure: Align the bottom end with the sliding door/window frame and press the bar down until it is secure and provides firm resistance.

Important Note: This security bar is not applicable to doors that open outward.
4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the AceMining Security Bar provides immediate reinforcement. For hinged doors, the bar's angled placement and firm contact with the floor and doorknob prevent the door from being forced open. For sliding doors and windows, the bar creates a strong brace within the track, immobilizing the sliding panel.
To remove the bar, simply reverse the installation steps: release the pressure, collapse the bar if needed, and store it in a convenient location. Its lightweight design allows for quick deployment and removal as needed.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your AceMining Door Security Bar, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the metal and plastic components with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Inspect Rubber Components: Periodically check the rubber foot and caps for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain optimal grip and prevent slippage.
- Lubrication: If the adjustment mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the sliding parts.
- Proper Storage: When not in use, collapse the bar to its shortest length and store it in a dry place away from extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
6. Troubleshooting
Issue: Bar slips or does not feel secure.
Possible Cause: Insufficient contact between the rubber foot and the ground, or improper angle.
Solution:
- Ensure the rubber foot is completely flat against the floor surface.
- Adjust the bar's length to achieve a snug fit, applying slight upward pressure to the doorknob/handle or firm pressure within the window/door frame.
- For hinged doors, verify the angle is approximately 60 degrees from the door for optimal leverage and stability.
- Avoid using the bar on movable mats or rugs, as these can reduce friction and stability.
