FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

Painting Instructions:

Wood door frame exteriors, premium steel door panels, sidelights are factory primed. If a paint finish is desired, finish

the parts with two coats of a 100% latex paint that has a good blocking resistance. On units with glass, do not bridge paint between the outer edges of the glazing frame and the door panel. On fiberglass products, brush the paint in the same direction as the simulated wood grain. Ensure that all exposed panel edges are finished to minimize the chance of panel damage.

Failure to use the correct type of finish may result in a door that sticks shut. Ask a qualified paint professional to specify a product with good blocking resistance.
