NEEDED MATERIALS AND TOOLS
FINISHING MATERIALS
Note! Follow all material manufacturers’ instructions for proper use
and compatibility.
TOOLS
• Hammer (applies only to certain hardware)
• Drill with bits
• Screwdrivers
• Safety glasses
• Tape measure
• Do not subject interior doors to extremes of heat and/or humidity.
Prolonged exposure may cause damage. Buildings where humidity
and temperature are controlled provide the best storage facilities
(recommended conditions 30%-50% Relative Humidity and 50°F to
90°F).
• Do not install doors in buildings that have wet plaster or cement
unless they have been properly  nished. Do not store doors in
buildings with excessive moisture content - HVAC systems should be
operating and balanced. Avoid sudden changes such as forced heat
to dry out a building. Doors should not be delivered to the job site
or installed until concrete  oors, foundation, plaster or drywall are
cured.
• Doors should always be handled with clean hands or while wearing
clean gloves.
• Doors should be lifted and carried when being moved, not dragged
across one another.
• Finish all six sides (both sides and all four edges) of the door slab,
including cutouts for hardware. Failure to  nish all six sides may
result in the denial of warranty claims for operational or performance
problems.
IF INJURY OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!
• Rubber gloves
• Paint brush
• Sandpaper
• Drop cloth
• Paint (and primer for raw
wood doors) or stain and wood
conditioner
• Wood putty
