Installation and hanging
Before hanging, check that your door frame opening matches the 1981 x 762mm dimensions. The door is supplied unfinished and unhanged, so you will need to fit hinges, handles, and locks as required. Standard 3 hinge configuration is recommended for this size door. The door can be hung to swing left or right depending on your space and traffic flow requirements. Ensure the frame is square and level before installation to prevent binding or gaps.

Finishing and maintenance
The door arrives unfinished, allowing you to choose your preferred aesthetic. For a traditional look, paint with quality interior paint in your chosen colour after light sanding and priming. Alternatively, apply clear lacquer to showcase the natural pine grain and timber character. Allow adequate drying time between coats and sand lightly between applications for a smooth finish. Once finished, maintain with occasional dusting and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture exposure as this is an internal door only.

Limitations and on-site tips
This door is for internal domestic use only and should not be exposed to external weather or high moisture environments. The 35mm solid pine construction provides good stability for standard domestic use but is not rated for heavy commercial traffic. Ensure the door is stored flat and in dry conditions before installation to prevent warping. Allow the timber to acclimatise to the room environment for 48 hours before final hanging and finishing. Do not force the door if it binds in the frame; check that hinges are correctly fitted and the frame is square.
