Fiberglass Door Finishing & Maintenance Information

Standard Door Handing Chart
Maintenance and Troubleshooting If you maintain your door properly, it will give you years of enjoyment. The most important single method to ensure the door’s longevity is to apply a high quality stain and finish. We recommend that only top quality finishes specifically produced for exterior applications be selected. Quality of the Finish: Stain-and-clear finishes perform better if protected from direct sunlight, moisture and other weathering conditions. Refinishing will be required less frequently if a proper finish is initially added to the door. Some finishes on exterior doors deteriorate relatively quickly with exposure to the environment. In order for your exterior door to continue receiving the protection required, inspect the condition of the exterior finish at least twice a year and refinish as often as needed to maintain the protective integrity of the finish. Binding or Sticking of the Door: Ensure that the door(s) continues to swing freely, does not bind in the frame, and that all hardware remains completely functional. If the door begins to stick or bind in the door frame, sand the edge of the door (use an electric sander or a hand plane) to trim the door so that it does not bind or stick. Be sure to refinish the newly sanded exposed area. Cleaning the Door: Cleaning of the door is best performed by simply dusting the interior and exterior of the door using a soft, clean cloth. If required, a very mild soap and water solution may be needed to remove dirt from the door. Do not use any abrasive detergent or solvent based product, as these products will harm the quality of the finish. DO NOT use a waterblaster to clean your door.
