Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a professional carpenter to ensure the lipped edges are correctly seated for maximum performance. Before installation, the door must be fully treated on all six sides—including the top, bottom, and side edges—using high-quality exterior wood preservatives and finishers. Failure to seal the wood properly can lead to warping or moisture ingress. When trimming the door, ensure you do not remove excessive material, as this may compromise the fire-check properties or the structural stability of the core.
