FAQs

What door size is this frame designed for?

This frame is specifically sized for a 1981 x 838 x 44mm door.

Can I paint the wood frame?

Yes, the frame comes unfinished and is suitable for both paint and wood stain finishes.

Is this suitable for both inward and outward opening doors?

Yes, the kit includes a reversible sill to support either opening direction.

Do I need to seal the frame before installation?

It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality wood preservative or finish to all sides of the frame before installation to protect against the elements.

What is the material composition of the frame?

The frame is made from engineered hardwood, which is designed for increased stability and resistance to warping.

Troubleshooting

Frame does not sit flush against the brickwork

Ensure the opening is plumb and square; use shims to level the frame before securing with frame fixings.

Difficulty closing the door after installation

Check that the frame is perfectly square. If the frame is twisted, the hinge side may need to be adjusted with shims.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic carpentry tools including a spirit level, square, wood screws, and high-quality construction adhesive or sealant. Before assembly, ensure the structural opening is level and plumb. Because the frame is unfinished, you must treat all surfaces—including the underside of the sill—with an appropriate external wood preservative or paint system before final installation. Failure to seal the wood immediately can lead to moisture absorption. Regularly check for any signs of surface degradation or weathering and touch up the finish every 1-2 years to maintain the longevity of the hardwood.
