LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
  1. Unsatisfactory service or appearance caused by failure to follow the “Handling, Job Finishing and Installation Instructions” set forth herein are excluded from this warranty.
  2. The appearance of field-finished doors is excluded from this warranty.
  3. Natural variations in the color or texture of wood are not to be considered defects.
  4. A thickness tolerance of 1/16”, plus or minus is allowed for all doors covered under this warranty.
  5. Warp shall not be considered a defect unless it exceeds ¼” in the plane of the door itself. Warp is any distortion in the door itself, and does not refer to the relation of the door to the frame or jamb in which it is hung. The term warp shall include bow, cup and twist. In measuring the amount of warp present in a door the following method shall be used: Bow, cup and twist shall be measured by placing a straightedge, taut wire or string on the suspected concave face of the door at any angle (i.e., horizontally, vertically, and diagonally), with the door in its installed position. The measurement of bow, cup and twist shall be made at the point of maximum distance between the bottom of the straightedge, taut wire or string and the face of the door.
  6. Warp in excess of ¼” shall not be considered a defect in the following;
    1. 1-3/4” or thicker doors that are wider than 3’-6’ or higher than 8’-0” or if the height of the door does not exceed 7’-0” the width may be up to 4’-0”.

Insulated units failing for the above reasons during the warranty period will be replaced. Purchaser’s sole remedy for failed insulated glass units after Liberty Valley Doors, Inc., warranty period shall be limited to the warranty provided by the insulated glass manufacturer. Units failing because of inadequate or neglected finishes or excessive exposure to moisture are not warranted. Purchaser is informed by this warranty that insulated glass units have a limited seal life that is influenced by many variables.

Finish must be applied to all faces, edges, hardware cutouts, and must lap onto glass on the exterior side. Finish must be well maintained to insure maximum life of the products; severe exposures will require more maintenance than other areas.
HANDLING, JOB FINISHING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Upon receipt of shipment of doors, inspect each for any visible defects. Cover and keep clean, but allow air circulation. Doors should be stood on blocks off of floor and should be stored flat on a level surface at least 4” off the floor, in a dry, well-ventilated building. Use protective covering under the bottom door. Cover the top to keep clean, but allow air circulation under and around the stack of doors.
  2. Handle with clean hands or gloves and do not drag doors across one another or across other surfaces.
  3. Doors should not be subject to: abnormal heat, extreme dryness, excessive humidity or sudden changes therein. They should be conditioned to average prevailing humidity of the project location before hanging.
  4. The structural integrity of the door must not be impaired in the fitting of the door, the application of the hardware, or cutting and altering the door for lights, louvers, panels or any special details.
  5. Before finishing, remove handling marks or effects of exposure to moisture with a thorough, final sanding over all surfaces to the door using 120 or 150 grit sandpaper and clean before applying sealer or finish. Some species of wood contain a chemical (oak particularly), which reacts unfavorable with certain finishes. Where possible, the surface should be tested for such unfavorable reactions. Application of a sealer before finishing will usually prevent this difficulty.
  6. Immediately after cutting and fitting, but before hanging, the entire door, including top and bottom edges, must receive an application of a primer and two coats of a good grade of paint, varnish or lacquer. Do not use a water thinned paint unless an oil base prime coat is first applied. Exterior finishes must be used on all exterior doors. Do not leave prime doors exposed to the environment or warranty will be voided.
There are no warranties express or implied that extend beyond the foregoing, and the manufacturer’s responsibility under this warranty is as stated herein. Manufacturer shall not be liable for consequential, indirect, or incidental damages, or for any amount in excess of the manufacturer’s price for the doors involved, whether the claim is for breach of warranty or negligence. This warranty applies only to materials paid for in full.
