Failure to do so will negate any claims for any defects/issues which may arise. Apply the finish equally to both faces and all four edges, paying particular attention to the top and bottom of the door , where end grain is exposed to variances in climate moisture content. All hinge recesses and lock cut outs should be treated. Timber is a natural sustainable product and if not correctly treated is subject to changes caused by variation of climatic conditions. If this door is exposed to these changes without the correct treatment, it could possibly cause movement, swelling, shrinking, warping or splitting. It is recommended that a minimum of 3 coats of finish is applied.

Doors fitted into more humid environments, e.g. bathrooms and kitchens, should be fitted with three hinges to provide more rigidity and prevent bowing.

When installing a mortice latch, do not fit at a rail joint as this will affect the integrity of the joint.
