Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic carpentry tools including a spirit level, saw, and appropriate fixings. The uprights and head should be cut to size based on your specific door opening height. Always seal all six sides of the timber (including cut ends) with a high-quality primer, paint, or wood preservative before fixing to prevent warping due to humidity changes. To install the door stops, wait until the door has been hung to ensure the stop is positioned to allow for a soft, secure close without binding against the door edge. Regular maintenance involves checking the door hinges and the integrity of the intumescent seal annually.
