Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to close or sticks
Check if the door has been trimmed unevenly or if the frame has shifted. Ensure hinges are correctly installed and the door is not rubbing against the frame. Re-trim if necessary, ensuring a small, consistent gap around the perimeter.
Finish is uneven or blotchy
Ensure the door surface was properly prepared (sanded and cleaned) before finishing. Apply stain or paint in thin, even coats, following the grain. For blotchiness on oak, consider using a pre-stain wood conditioner before applying the finish.
Wood appears to be warping
Ensure the door has been properly sealed on all sides, including edges and top/bottom. Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity. If warping is significant, consult a professional carpenter.
Hinges are squeaking
Lubricate the hinges with a suitable lubricant, such as graphite powder or a silicone-based spray. Ensure the hinge screws are tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Finishing: Before hanging, the door must be finished on all six edges and both faces with a suitable wood stain, varnish, or paint. Ensure the chosen product is compatible with oak and provides adequate protection.

Hardware: Install hinges, handles, and any locking mechanisms according to the manufacturer's instructions and best carpentry practices.
Compatibility:
This door is designed for interior use only.
Ensure your door frame is robust enough to support the weight of a solid-core door.

Care:
Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Periodically check the finish and reapply if necessary, especially in high-traffic areas or areas with fluctuating humidity.
