Care and Maintenance

Interior and Exterior Doors (JCM005)

This guide provides important information that will help keep wood,

ﬁberglass and steel doors looking beautiful and operating smoothly

for many years while maintaining warranty coverage. Regular

inspections and minor maintenance are the best ways to keep these

products in good condition.

Protect doors from weather and exposure to direct sunlight prior to installation, exposure of machined doors may compromise the internal reinforced

material of the door. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area off the ﬂoor, in a humidity and temperature controlled facility. Recommended conditions: 30 to 50

percent relative humidity and 50 to 90 degrees F (10 to 32 degrees C). For optimal performance, new primed or unﬁnished products should be ﬁnished

or painted with an even number of coats on all six sides as soon as possible after installation. Finishing is necessary because by nature, door construction

materials are susceptible to the elements and changes in moisture levels can cause damage. Painting and ﬁnishing seals the surfaces, maintains, protects

and enhances the beauty of the product by keeping it less susceptible to debris and easier to clean. Keeping doors properly ﬁnished is the ﬁrst step in

effective maintenance.
