Finish:
1. To clean doors, wash with mild soap and water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry.

water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry. Apply a light coat of wax (Lemon Pledge)
and wipe off excess.

Clorox), rinse with clear water and wipe dry.
4. If finish is accidentally scratched or chipped, clean as recommended above and use
touch up paint supplied or standard wood finish repair crayon.

directly on door- Spray on soft cloth, then wipe on door.)
6. For stained finishes, periodic painting with a non-yellowing clear coat paint is
recommended for doors exposed to severe weather conditions.
Hardware:

surrounding it. To maintain, polish with a nonabrasive automotive or furniture wax.
By keeping your hardware cleaned and maintained you will be rewarded with a longlasting
finish.
2. Tighten screws on lockset and hinges when necessary
3. Lightly oil hinges as needed. Wipe off excess.
