FAQs

Can I paint this door a different color?
Yes, the unfinished oak surface is ideal for painting. Ensure you apply a suitable primer before painting for best results and durability.

How should I clean the door?
Clean the door with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, especially on the unfinished or newly finished surface.
What is the warranty period for this door?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Can this door be used as an exterior door?

Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to close or sticks
Check for swelling due to moisture, ensure hinges are aligned and not loose, or verify the door frame is plumb and square. Minor adjustments may be needed.
Finish is uneven or patchy
Ensure the wood was properly prepared before finishing. Apply subsequent coats more thinly and evenly, allowing adequate drying time between applications.
Hinges are sagging or not supporting the door properly
The door may be too heavy for the current hinges. Upgrade to heavier-duty hinges. Ensure hinge screws are securely tightened into the door and frame.
Glazed panels appear cloudy or dirty
Clean the glass with a standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Ensure seals around the glazing are intact.
