INSTALLATION
ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
HOW TO STORE, HANDLE, FINISH, INSTALL AND MAINTAIN WOOD DOORS.
Preface: Improper storage, handling, finishing and installation of wood doors may result in severe damage to the doors. The following guidelines will help maintain the high quality products supplies by wood door manufacturers.
EXTERIOR FINISH
Stain and Clear Finish
The advantages and disadvantages of solvent-borne vs. water-borne clear finishes are as follows:
(A) Solvent-Borne
(B) Water-Borne
Paint Finish
Requires a minimum of two (2) top-coats all in six (6) sides. Either oil-base or later resin base exterior grade paints may be used with success on panel doors. Oil-base paints offer more resistance to the passage of water (liquid vapor) than latex resin-based paints, but the latter have better durability and color retention.
Latex-resin-base top-coat paints require the use of an oil-base primer. Of course, both primer and top coat should be made by the same manufacturer and be designed to be used as a combination.
Caution.
Do not use lacquer thinner with any acrylic glazed doors, as this thinner may damage the acrylic glazing. CANYON CUSTOM cannot evaluate all the available paints and stains, nor the customer’s specific application requirements. Your paint dealer should know of suitable finish systems that give satisfactory results in your region. It is highly recommended that top quality finishes be selected, and the application instructions on the container be followed explicitly.
INTERIOR FINISHING
Stain-and-Clear Finish
A solvent-borne finish system is recommended for interior doors and may be a lacquer-based system. If a brush application is to be used, it is recommended that a pre-sealer be used prior to staining. For best performance, a minimum of two (2) clear top coats on all six (6) sides must be used over stains.
Paint Finish
Doors should be sealed with a good quality oil based primer followed by a minimum of two (2) top-coats of a solvent-based or latex enamel applied to all six (6) sided.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Your CANYON CUSTOM door has been handcrafted to last for years to come. But, like any fine piece of furniture, its finish will require some simple, periodic maintenance to keep it looking great and provide proper protection against the elements. Regular finish maintenance is also a requirement of the warranty.
Here are some signs to watch for. They indicate that it is time for some simple easy-to-perform maintenance.
If you live in a severe climate or your entry receives a lot of direct sunlight from a southern or western exposure, you will want to examine your door’s finish more often. Depending on the conditions, you may also need to refinish the door more frequently.

ADDENDUM
Paragraph #3: The following shall not be considered defects in material or workmanship and are not covered by this limited warranty:
ADD: any variation of door thickness 1/16 of an inch or less.
ADD: “MISUSE” of a door includes, but is not limited to, using a door on part of a building without providing an adequate overhang to protect it from direct sunlight or rain under normal conditions. Adequate overhang depends on the typical weather conditions of the area where the door is being used, but typically means an overhang projecting a distance from the structure one halt the elevation difference between the bottom of the door and the base of the overhang structure at the point which is farthest from the door.
Paragraph 11: How to store, handle, finish, install and maintain wood doors.
Change: Wood door manufacturers to CANYON CUSTOM. #2 define term RH. RH means: Relative Humidity.
APPROPRIATE EXPOSURE
The placement of your door is a major factor in its maintenance and longevity. To adequately protect your door and extend its life, you have to do some factoring. You need to take into account your climate, as well as the direction your door will be facing. From there, you have to determine the amount of overhang and the height of the entrance in relation to the base of the door. There are some situations where the exposure can be too extreme for a wood floor.
EXPOSURE COEFFICIENT
To help figure out the correct overhang required for your door, there is a simple formula to follow: Y = ½ X in most cases. So for example, if the measurement from the base of your door to the bottom of your overhang is ten feet, then the overhang should be a minimum of five feet deep. The following illustration and chart should help you in factoring the appropriate exposure for your door.
