Handing & Finishing
Handling
• All doors are packaged for forklift loading and unloading. They are palletized and
banded together. Upon receipt, any shipping damage must be noted on the bill of lading
and reported immediately to the delivering carrier and Krosswood Doors.
• Doors must be stored flat on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated building at least 4”
above the ground and covered to avoid direct sunlight, as well as moisture, dirt and dust.
• Doors must be conditioned to average prevailing relative humidity and temperature of
the locality before hanging.
• Do not walk on doors or drag doors across one another, particularly if they include raised
molding.
• Doors must not be subject to extreme or rapid changes in heat or humidity, including,
without limitation, sudden changes resulting from forced heat used to dry out a building.
• If doors are stored at a job site, all six sides must be sealed with an effective quality oil-
based
or mineral-based sealer in order to prevent unacceptable moisture absorption.
Finishing
• For best performance, doors must be finished lying flat.
• Sand entire door with appropriate grit of sandpaper in the same direction as the grain.
• Finish must be applied immediately after fitting and hanging, but not during or after high
moisture times.
• Remove dust before finishing.
• Follow manufacturer’s directions closely for all finish products.
Krosswood Doors will not, under any circumstances, be liable for installation, refinishing or
painting costs.
