Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This door requires professional finishing before installation. Apply a suitable exterior-grade primer, followed by at least two coats of high-quality exterior paint or stain. Ensure all edges, especially the top and bottom, are thoroughly sealed. Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure correct fitting, security, and optimal performance.

For finished doors, reapply protective coatings (paint or stain) every 2-3 years, or as needed, to maintain the finish and protect the hardwood from weathering. Check seals and hardware periodically for wear and tear.
