Filling in gaps on my security door

[Mr Nasty]

Hey guys. I just got a security door installed and there are gaps on the surrounding. What would you recommend to fill them?
Thank you

Sorry for pics all sideways.

Metal lath used for plaster ceilings. the metal lath for floors is too flimsy

Backer rod and good quality black caulk?

I second saliv8, how big are the gaps? A polyurethane caulk will expand and contract with the heat and cold and last up here in michigan to sun exposure pretty well unpainted.

That's perfect size for a crowbar. I'd be calling the company who sold/installed it.
If you are stuck with it I would weld flat stock to it scribed to the wall. You could also bolt it on with security type bolts

The gap is about 1/2" on the right upper portion going half way down. I'm stuck with it.

Looks like you could plug the gaps with 9mm, no?

If you need a security door,..................................you need to move. LOL !!! Just giving you ****. I know I would be pissed about that gap.

The door frame might be crooked and not the door. I imagine that if this is a steel door, its heavy and probably has to be aligned more precisely than a regular door. So this might be unavoidable to prevent the steel door from slamming etc. Silicone caulk should be fine though.

Like someone else said, use backer rod then a black or tan caulk to match one or the other surfaces...

It is the door frame that's a little crooked. Thanks for all the info guys.
