INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOORS:
The instructions below are highlights of some of the instructions for door installation. Other installation may accompany the doors or be posted on Durian’s website and should also be followed:
- Do not impair the structural strength of the door during installation, the application of hardware, or the cutting of the door for lights, louvers, panels, or any other details.
- In fitting for width trim equally from both sides, the maximum on each side is 3.175MM for 6.35MM overall trim. If the door has already been machined then trim from the hinge side and re-machine the hinge pockets.
- In fitting for height do not trim the top of the door. Do not trim more than 6.35MM off the bottom of the door unless accommodated by additional blocking.
- Makemydoors suggests using two hinges on doors up to 1524MM in height, three hinges on doors up to 2286MM in height and 4 hinges up to a maximum of 3048MM in height. Thread-to-head wood screws are recommended for fastening all hardware. Pilot holes are strongly recommended prior to inserting screws to avoid splitting.
STORAGE, CARE AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS:
The instructions below are highlights for storage, care and handling instructions pertaining to Doors .
- When Doors are received they must be inspected immediately for quality, including correct size, machining, species of veneer and finish.
- Buildings where humidity and temperature are controlled provide the best storage facilities (recommended conditions 25%-55%RH and 50°f to 90°f [10°C – 32°C]) Ensure doors are stored in these conditions to prevent any damage to the product.
- Warping and oil-canning may occur, depending on the season and relative humidity, until the doors become conditioned to the humidity and temperature of the building.
- Deliver doors to the site after plaster, drywall or cement is dry to avoid excess moisture.
- Keep the doors away from direct sunlight and sources of extreme heat, cold or humidity.
- When storing door slabs, keep the doors stacked horizontal and fully supported on a level surface, do not lean the doors vertically against a wall or other structure. When stacking doors, keep the top door covered at all times with a cover sheet, plywood or cardboard.
