HANDLING
- Store the doors horizontally on a surfaced level in a dry, well-ventilated building
- Don’t drag the doors across one another and keep doors clean
- Doors should not be subject to extreme or rapid changes in heat or humidity
- Doors should not be installed until concrete floors, foundation, plaster, or drywall are cured
- Before installation, all ends and edges must be sealed with an effective coating (eg: Silika Gel) to prevent excessive moisture absorption
FITTING
- Given that the rails and stiles measure 2.5″ to 3″ and are made of Meghalaya Pine, it is advisable to pre-bore to prevent splitting
- Leave adequate clearance for width adjustments during the fitting
- Exercise care when trimming doors to avoid compromising their structural integrity
- For Solid Core Doors, utilize four hinges, aligning them in a straight line to prevent distortion
- Ensure that jambs and stops are positioned squarely and vertically (plumb)
- Immediately after cutting and fitting, seal all exposed surfaces and edges with a suitable sealant.
- Position locks correctly according to specifications
- Refrain from making grooves on the door surface
- When screwing, pre-boring is necessary
- To prevent warping, apply lamination, veneer, paints, or polish evenly on both sides using products with matching characteristics
