Door Trimming and Fitting Guidelines

Trimming Limits:

• Doors with 10mm or more lipping: Maximum trim of 6mm per
  side.
• Doors with 6mm lipping: Maximum trim of 3mm per side.
• Non fire-rated doors: Further trimming possible but may
  expose the core, which must be sealed or re-lipped.

Note: Trimming beyond these limits will void the guarantee. 

Hardware Installation: 

• Avoid fitting locks or latches at rail or glazing bar joints
  to prevent weakening the door.
• Recommend using three hinges for better
  rigidity and strength.

Fire-Rated Doors (FD30):

• Must be installed per the fire certificate.
• Fitter is responsible for ensuring intumescent strips or
  seals are installed as specified.

Sealing Untreated Products:

• Fully seal all surfaces, including tops, bottoms, and
  recesses for hinges, locks, handles, and letter plates, before hanging the
  door.
• Unsuitable Sealants: Avoid using waxes, oils (e.g., Yacht
  varnish, Osmo Oil, Danish Oil), and water-based sealants. Using these will void
  the guarantee.

Pre-Finished Products:

• Re-seal exposed areas after any alterations.
• White primed products should receive a final top coat,
  especially where the priming was removed.

Preparation for Finishing:

• Lightly sand, de-nib, and clean all surfaces before the
  initial sealing and before applying the final coat.
• Consistency in Finishing: Use the same manufacturer/brand
  for all coats to avoid reactions and ensure full sealing. Mixing products will
  void the guarantee.
