INSTALLATION GUIDE
Pre-Hung Exterior Wood Doors
1. Deliver doors in a clean truck and under cover.
2. Do not deliver or install doors until foundations, concrete oors, and plaster or texture walls are
completely dry.
3. Allow doors time to acclimate to the conditions at the job site prior to installation. Never subject doors
to abnormal heat, dryness or humidity for prolonged periods (i.e. forced heat).
4. Store doors lying at on a level surface above the ground in a dry, well-ventilated building and keep
covered. Don’t stack doors on end.
5. If the doors are to be stored on the job site, the entire door including top and bottom edges must be
sealed with a clear or pigmented based sealer to prevent moisture absorption.
6. All six sides of the door must be properly sealed for warranty to apply.
7. To keep doors protected, use clean gloves and equipment. Cover doors, but allow for air circulation.
Carry, do not drag doors over any surface.
Important Note: Panels of stile and rail doors are engineered to oat so they can move with changes
in climate without causing stress. Make sure these components are aligned before nishing. You can
correct alignment by carefully moving the panel with a wood block, rubber mallet, and a soft touch.
Components that have shifted and must be aligned are not considered “defects” according to the
warranty.
