Avoid dragging doors across one another and keep them clean.

Store flat on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated building.

Doors should be conditioned to average prevailing relative humidity.

Doors should not be subject to extreme or rapid changes of heat or humidity. Avoid sudden changes such as forced heat to dry out a building.

Doors with particular attention to top and bottom, must be completely sealed and treated without delay, prior to hanging. This will avoid moisture penetration which may cause swelling and warping.

Doors should not be delivered to the job site or installed until concrete floors, foundations, and plastered walls are dried and cured.

Stand entire door lightly with fine grit sandpaper giving special attention to areas of raised and any soil marks resulting from handling. Do not spot sand heavily in one area only, as the finish will then appear blotchy.

Finishes must be compatible from the base to topcoat. It is recommended that the manufacturer’s specifications be followed and that only one manufacturer’s products be use on all coats.

Doors, other than Lauan, to be finished with a natural or a stain finish. Should be sealed with a clear sealer or wood sealer.

For doors to be stained, we recommend analkyd resin-based stain followed by wiping to remove excess stain and achieve the desire color tone and grain effect.

Apply at least two coats of clear topcoat such as polyurethane resin-based finish to natural or stained doors. Painted doors should received a minimum of two coats of a good enamel or trim paint.

Jambs that will come in contact with wet concrete must be coated with coal tar/paint prior to hanging so as to avoid rot and unstability.
