Finishing of door and frame components prior to installation is
recommended. To nish your doors, please see our document JCM004,
Finishing and Renishing Instructions for Interior and Exterior Door
Slabs and Systems located on our website at jeld-wen.com. Finish all
six surfaces (both sides and edges) of the door slab, including cutouts
for hardware, as well as the frame to ensure proper protection from the
elements. Finish the raw oak interior surface with two applications of clear
coat. Fiberglass door slabs MUST be nished within thirty (30) days of
purchase. Failure to nish the door slab and frame as instructed may result
in the denial of warranty claims for operational or performance problems.
