Finishing Care

Preparing Your New Door For Finishing

1. Mask or remove any hardware (hinges,

handles, etc.). Mask glass if applicable before

painting or staining.

2. Sand the entire surface lightly using 5/0

sandpaper (180 grit) before you apply first coat

of finish. Always sand in the direction of the

wood grain, see Figure 1.

3. Wipe dust and sand grit from the door with

clean cloth. Avoid using abrasive or caustic

cleaners.

Painting Primed Door

1. Complete steps 1-3 for Preparing Your New Door For

Finishing. Although primed door does not require

sanding prior to finishing, light sanding (180 grit) will

allow for optimum adhesion of paint.

2. Finish the door with two coats of latex, oil-base or

lacquer paint. Make sure to allow door to completely dry

between coats on all six sides of door. Always paint in

the direction of the wood grain, see Figure 1.
