Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to close or sticks.
Check if the door has been trimmed too much, if hinges are loose, or if the frame has shifted. Minor adjustments to hinges or planing the edge slightly may be required, ensuring to re-finish any planed areas.
Finish is uneven or blotchy.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (cleaned and sanded if necessary) before applying the finish. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat, and follow the drying time recommendations for the specific finish used.
Warps or swells.
Ensure the door was properly sealed on all six sides (including the top and bottom edges) before installation. Consistent environmental conditions (avoiding extreme humidity fluctuations) are also crucial.
