Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
As an unfinished door, the initial setup involves applying your chosen paint or stain. Follow these steps for optimal results:
- Preparation: Lightly sand the entire door surface to ensure it is smooth and free of imperfections. Clean thoroughly to remove dust.
- Finishing: Apply your desired paint or stain. Ensure even coats and allow adequate drying time between applications as per product instructions.
- Hardware Installation: Once the finish is dry, carefully mark and drill holes for your chosen hinges, handle, and latch mechanism.
- Hanging: Install hinges to the door and then to the door frame, ensuring proper alignment for smooth operation.
Compatibility
This Farley Door is designed exclusively for internal use within residential or commercial buildings. It is compatible with standard internal door frames, but precise measurements are crucial due to the bespoke sizing options available. Ensure your chosen hardware (hinges, handles, latches) is appropriate for the door's weight and intended use.
Care
Once finished and installed, care for your Farley Door is straightforward:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the door with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Address Scratches: For minor scratches, a touch-up pen or small amount of matching paint/stain can be used.
- Hinge Maintenance: Periodically check hinges for tightness and lubricate if any squeaking occurs to ensure smooth operation.
