Handle New Doors With Care

Posted January 31st, 2010.

All External Doors have to be handled with care. This will help avoid any accidents or structural damage to the door. Most new doors come with packaging or shrink wrapping which should be left on as long as possible. Obviously, for sanding and finishing, the wrappings need to be removed.Door storage should be done properly. No door should be rested on its edge or end. All doors should be stored flat and raised from ground level by at least three bearers. This protects the door from damage or corrosion and also allows for even air flow. Light exposure should be limited because it can discolor the finish or wood coating. As a final tip, no door should be delivered, stored, or fitted until all wet trades are complete.
