(v-grooves in excess of 3/8" wide and 3/16" deep), and distressing damage. Allowable
trimming on a Krosswood Doors door is ½” from the sides of the door and the top of the

 Failure to report to Krosswood Doors any visible defect or mistake in shipment more
than 24 hours after receipt, or after the product is machined or installed.
Procedures you must follow to exercise this limited warranty. The integrity of a Krosswood
Doors door is predicated upon the adherence to the following procedures. Failure to observe
these procedures may result in or precipitate an adverse reaction of the product, and shall void
any warranty or claim.
Handling
 All doors are packaged for forklift loading and unloading. They are palletized and
banded together. Upon receipt, any shipping damage must be noted on the bill of lading
and reported immediately to the delivering carrier and Krosswood Doors.
 Doors must be stored flat on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated building at least 4”
above the ground and covered to avoid direct sunlight, as well as moisture, dirt and dust.
 Doors must be conditioned to average prevailing relative humidity and temperature of
the locality before hanging.
 Do not walk on doors or drag doors across one another, particularly if they include raised
molding.
 Doors must not be subject to extreme or rapid changes in heat or humidity, including,
without limitation, sudden changes resulting from forced heat used to dry out a building.
 If doors are stored at a job site, all six sides must be sealed with an effective quality oil-
based or mineral-based sealer in order to prevent unacceptable moisture absorption.
Installation
 When hanging doors, allow adequate clearance between the door and frame for normal
swelling of the door or frame in damp weather. Clearances between the door edges and
door frame must be a minimum of 1/16” on the hinge side and 1/8” clearance on the
latch side and top rail. When cutting, use a sharp fine-tooth saw.
 Caution must be used to avoid impairing the strength of the door when fitting for locks
or other hardware. Allow at least 1” of wood back of the mortise.
 Pilot holes must be drilled for all screws that act as hardware attachments.
 Use a minimum of three hinges on doors up to 7’ tall and four hinges on doors over 7’
tall. Hinges must be set in a straight line to prevent distortion of the door.
