Wood Door Warranty

1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
For Masonite Stile and Rail Doors
This warranty is effective for all products manufactured or
sold after October 2003. 1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Masonite warrants, subject to the conditions and restrictions
contained below, that each stile and rail door manufactured
and sold by Masonite shall comply with current WDMA Industry
Standard I.S. 6.91 Series when such door is manufactured
and shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship
for a period of one (1) years from the date of manufacture.
Should a Masonite stile and rail door fail to uphold this
written warranty, Masonitewill, at its option, either repair the
door, ship a replacement door to the distributor or person
making the warranty claim in the same condition as the
door originally sold to the distributor, or refund the original
purchase price paid to Masonite for the door. IN NO EVENT
SHALL Masonite PAY FOR LABOR, INSTALLATION
OR FINISHING OF THE REPLACEMENT OR ORIGINAL
DOOR OR FOR ANY OTHER COST RELATING TO
THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DOOR, ALL OF WHICH
SHALL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
PERSON MAKING THE WARRANTY CLAIM.
NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE THE
FOLLOWING, WHICH SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED
DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP:
1. Warp for any 36” wide by 8’ high by 1 3/4” or
smaller door, which does not exceed one-fourth
inch in the plane of the door itself. Doors wider and/
or higher are not warranted against warp;
2. Frame or jamb bow or nonalignment;
3. Gloss level, texture or other appearance
variations as a result of eld application of
paint or any other nishing material;
4. Natural wood color or texture variations;
5. Damage caused by others or any cause beyond the
control of Masonite, including but not limited to damage
caused by misuse, abuse, accident or mishandling
or by re, ood, earthquake, storm, tornado or other
acts of nature. Broken glass is not covered.
6. Damage caused by non-compliance with the Care,
Handling or Finishing Instructions provided by
Masonite, damage caused by failure to perform normal
homeowner maintenance, or damage caused by others
than Masonite in attempting to repair the door.
7. Natural variations in color or texture of woods are not
defects. We suggest that all millwork be inspected upon
arrival and before installation and nishing. A good quality
top coat of paint, sealer or varnish must be applied to all
exposed wood surfaces. The top coat should be applied
as recommended by the paint manufacturer. This warranty
will not apply if a good quality top coat is not applied
within thirty (30) days after purchase. It is the customer’s
responsibility to properly care for and protect woodwork
against moisture or excessive dryness. This warranty
will not apply if the woodwork is not so protected.
8. Installing a nonvented or combo wood
storm door over the door.
9. Use of any dark colored paints to nish the product.
10. Overhangs or other protection must be adequate
to prevent direct sunlight from touching the door for
more than four hours during the day. Depending on
the distance between the overhang and the door,
an overhang of 3’ to 5’ normally is sufcient.
11. Doors should be elevated so that water does
not pool or stand around the base of the door.
this is a construction or engineering defect and
will not be covered under this warranty.
12. Doors should not be installed where environmental
conditions will result in the door being exposed to intense
vibrations, high moisture, salt (i.e. costal areas), areas
of extreme atmospheric heat (in excess of 120 degrees
Fahrenheit) or extreme variations in temperatures.
If warp is the claimed nonconformity, Masonite may defer
to repair or replace the product for a period of up to twelve
(12) months from the date of claim or the date when the
product was installed, as it is not unusual for a temporary
warp condition to occur as the door adjusts to local
humidity and temperature conditions. This deferral will not
be counted against the one (1) year warranty period.
Claims made under this Limited Warranty must be made
within the one (1) year period of this warranty and prior to
the beginning of any repair work to: Masonite Warranty
Department Phone: [phone]. Claims must include the
date and location of purchase, the nature of the problem,
and the name, address and telephone number of the person
making the warranty claim. Masonitereserves the right to

The express warranties set forth herein are in lieu of all

door lites, any costs or expenses relating to painting,
staining or any other activity necessary in nishing the
reinstallation, or damage or loss to other property.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation on the duration of any
implied warranties not excluded hereby due to the operation
