and operating smoothly for many years while maintaining

Do-It-Yourself Technician

For optimal performance, new primed or unnished products should be nished or painted as soon as possible after installation. Finishing is

necessary because by nature, door construction materials are susceptable to the elements. Painting and nishing seals the surfaces, maintains,

protects and enhances the beauty of the product by keeping it less susceptible to debris and easier to clean. Keeping doors properly nished

is the rst step in effective maintenance.
