Does the door come pre-finished?
No, the LPD Malton door is supplied unfinished. This allows you to choose and apply your preferred paint or stain color.
Can I install this door myself?

The door measures 2032mm in height and 813mm in width.
Is the frosted glass secure?
Yes, the frosted double-glazed panes provide security while allowing light transmission and maintaining privacy.
How do I maintain the hardwood finish?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Reapply a suitable exterior paint or stain periodically (e.g., every 1-2 years) to protect the wood.
Can I replace the glass if it breaks?
Replacement of the double-glazed unit would typically require professional service due to the sealed nature of the unit. Consult a glazier or the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to close or sticks.
Check if the door has warped due to moisture. Ensure hinges are properly aligned and tightened. Minor sticking can sometimes be resolved by planing a small amount of wood from the sticking edge, but this should be done carefully by a professional.
Drafts around the edges of the door.
Ensure the door frame is plumb and square. Check the weatherstripping and ensure it is properly sealed. The bottom of the door may need adjustment or a sweep if there is a gap.
Finish is peeling or damaged.
The protective finish may have worn down. Clean the surface thoroughly, sand lightly if necessary, and reapply a high-quality exterior paint or stain suitable for hardwood.
Frosted glass appears smudged or dirty.
Clean the glass using a soft cloth and a mild glass cleaner. For internal condensation between panes (rare), the seal may be compromised, requiring professional assessment.
