Woodtech Stile
& Rail Door Limited Warranty
Doors manufactured by Woodtech Trading are warranted for a
period of two years for painted exterior doors and lifetime for interior doors from the
date of shipment. Any door that becomes defective in accordance with this published
warranty will be repaired or replaced. If repair or replacement is not practical, Woodtech
Trading will refund the full, original purchase price of the door. This warranty does not
cover refinishing or rehanging costs of the replacement door. If exterior doors are not
painted, do not have an overhang and/or are exposed to direct sunlight, warranty is
limited to craftsmanship and quality of construction.
There are no warranties that extend beyond the foregoing,
and the manufacturer's responsibility under this warranty as stated herein. Woodtech shall
not be liable for incidental or consequential damages arising from the manufacture, use,
or sale of these goods, or for any amount in excess of the manufacturer's price for goods
provided at the time of sale.
Written notice of any claim must be given by the purchaser
to Woodtech within 30 days after receipt of doors. Woodtech must be given reasonable
opportunity to investigate the reported defect before initiating corrective measures.
Maintenance
To insure coverage under this warranty, maintain the following as required:
1. The finish on all door surfaces
2. Any required adjustments of hardware including
fasteners.
Tolerances
1. Size tolerance: thickness +/- 1/16", length +/- 1/16", width +/- 1/32".
2. Squareness tolerance diagonal measurement difference
will not exceed 1/8".
3. Factory hardware preparation tolerances +/- 1/32" for hinge, lock, and
strike preps.
4. Warp will not be considered a defect unless it exceeds 1/4" in the plane of the
door itself. For doors 1 3/4" or thicker, warp will not exceed 1/4" in doors 3670 or smaller, nor will it exceed in any 3670
section of larger doors. For doors less than 1 3/4" thick, warp will not exceed 1/4" in doors 3070 or smaller. Warp is
measured by placing a straightedge on the concave face and determining the maximum
distance from straightedge to the door face.
Storage and Handling
1. Store doors flat on a level surface in a dry, well
ventilated building.
2. Cover doors to keep clean and avoid discoloration with
an opaque covering which does not allow light to penetrate. Covering must allow air
circulation.
3. Do not subject doors to extremes of heat and/or
humidity. Relative humidity should be not less than 30% and not exceed 60%. All doors
should be conditioned to average prevailing relative humidity before hanging.
4. Handle doors with clean gloves and do not drag doors
across one another or across other surfaces.
Finishing Instructions
1. Before finishing remove all handling marks, effects
of exposure to moisture, and raised grain by block sanding thoroughly with 180 grit
sandpaper.
2. Immediately after fitting and sanding, and before
hanging, seal the entire door on all six sides with two coats of a good quality paint,
varnish, or lacquer.
3. Do not use water based finishes or combination
sealer/stains.
4. When finishing the joints where wood parts or glass come
together, insure that enough paint or sealer is put on to form a bridged film across
voids. This will minimize moisture penetration through these joints.
5. Use a flat or satin finish, high gloss finishes are not
recommended.
Exclusions
This warranty does not cover:
1. Natural variations in the color or texture of wood.
2. Normal wear and tear, including wear-through of the
finish or deterioration for reasons other than material and workmanship of the door
itself.
3. Stained, or clear finished doors at exterior locations.
4. Shrinkage, swelling, small checks, and surface
imperfections which may appear over time due to exposure to severe climate conditions.
5. Any condition arising from the Buyer's neglect or
failure to properly maintain the door.
6. Any leakage around glazed portion of any door not glazed
by Woodtech.
7. Doors with different species or finishes on either side.
8. Doors altered by others for size by re-railing or
re-stiling.
9. Telegraphing or checking at exterior doors.
10. Failure at exterior doors associated with inadequate
overhead protection from the elements.
NOTE: Action on any claim for warp or telegraphing defects
may be deferred at the option of the manufacturer for a period not to exceed 12 months to
permit conditioning of the doors to the local climate.

the jamb. Upon receipt of the jambs by the customer, they will be subject to the
conditions specified for doors as stated herein. |
