BASIC INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
GUTTERS & OVERHANGS
Gutters and overhangs protect doors from excess exposure to water.
Clear at least once a year or as necessary.

mullions. These can be gently tapped with a wood block and
rubber mallet until straight. Panels can also develop “light
lines” around the perimeter from shrinkage. These areas should
be touched up with a matching nish. Allowing the door to
“condition” in a warm, dry environment for 24 hours before
touch up will yield the best results.
