Photographing and Warp Tolerances
Action on any claims for warping or for photographing may be deferred, at the option of the manufacturer for a period
not to exceed 12 months from date of claim.
Stile, rail and core show through (photographing) on flush doors shall not be considered a defect unless the faces of the
door vary from a true plane in excess of 1/100 inch in any three inch span.
The following warp allowances are for 1-3/4" or thicker doors. Doors wider than 3' 6" (42 in) and less than 7' (84 in)
in height, warping shall not exceed 1/4" in a section 3' 6" by height of the door. Doors wider than 3' 6" and higher
than 7', the warp shall not exceed 1/4" in and 3' 6" by 7' section. Doors up to and including 3' 6" wide and over 7' in
height, the warp shall not exceed 1/4" in any 7' by width of door section
“Warping” is any distortion of the door itself and does not refer to the relationship of the door to the frame or jamb in
which it is hung. The term “warping” shall include bow, cup, and/or twist. To measure the amount of warping present in
a door, the following method shall be used: bow, cup, and/or twist shall be measured by placing a straight-edge, taut
wire or string on the suspected concave face of the door at any angle (i.e., horizontally, vertically, and diagonally), with
the door in its installed position. The measurement of bow, cup, and/or twist shall be made at the point of maximum
distance between the bottom of the straight-edge, taut wire or string and the face of the door. Warping shall not be
considered a defect unless it exceeds 1/4" in the plane of the door itself.
