FAQs
Does this door come with hardware attached?
No, the door is supplied as a door leaf only; you will need to purchase hinges, handles, and latches separately.
Can I trim this door to fit my frame?
While minor adjustments are possible, be aware that excessive trimming can compromise the fire-rated integrity of the door. Check the manufacturer guidelines for maximum trim allowances.
Do I need special fire-rated hinges?
Yes, to maintain fire safety compliance, you must use fire-rated hinges and ensure all hardware meets local building regulation standards.
Is the door paintable immediately?
Yes, it arrives pre-primed, meaning you can apply your preferred topcoat as soon as you have verified the fit.
How heavy is this door?
Due to the solid core construction, the door is significantly heavier than standard doors; ensure your frame is capable of supporting the weight.
Can this be used as an external door?
No, this is specifically designed for internal use only and is not weather-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Door is binding or scraping the frame
Check the hinges for proper alignment and ensure the door is plumb; adjust or shim the hinges as necessary.
Paint finish showing brush marks
Ensure you are using a high-quality fine-bristle brush or a foam roller for the final topcoat to achieve a smooth, professional finish.
Difficulty closing tightly
Verify that all fire seals are correctly installed and not obstructed; check that the door latch plate is aligned with the strike plate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your existing frame is plumb and square, as the heavy weight of the solid core can cause alignment issues if the frame is not secure. Use three high-quality hinges to support the door's weight adequately. The door arrives white-primed; it is essential to seal all edges, including the top and bottom, with a high-quality paint or wood treatment to prevent moisture ingress. Regular maintenance involves wiping the door with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that might damage the surface of the moulded panels.
