HANDLING AND STORING INSTRUCTIONS AND CONDITIONS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY FOR MACKPLY FLUSH DOORS.
DEAR VALUED CUSTOMER,
Our doors are left unfinished and this flexibility gives you control over the final appearance of your doors.
Mackply doors are reputed for their strength, durability and appearance. The inner solid timber structure is constructed out of chemical treated, kiln seasoned timber strips and provide 30% - 40%, 50% - 70% and 100% solid wood inside depending on the structure selected. This gives all the strength properties required for a door sash suitable for diverse applications.
We are proud to announce that Mackply is the first and only ISO 9001:2008 certified Plywood Manufacturer in Sri Lanka to date. Hence we continue to build our doors with absolutely high quality, best-suited materials available.
Please follow these simple handling and other instruction to preserve the quality appearance of your doors and to ensure that you meet the warranty guidelines.

01)
Reduction of sizes allowed is maximum of ½ an inch whether it's width or the height. It should be ¼ of an inch from the top and ¼ inch from bottom for the height. Width also can be reduced by ¼ inch from either side.
Reducing the specified dimensions beyond above limits will lead to:
(a) Weakening the strength of the door
(b) Warping
(c) The surface skins getting delaminated
Blunt hand - saw could damage the edges of the door and split the thin face veneer while reducing the dimensions.
-
02)
Doors should be always stored flat on a dry-clean and well - leveled floor. Never store them standing on one end and leaving against a wall. Keep three or four pieces of half-inch thick straight wooden strips across the width of the doors and then stack horizontally on one another. This will provide ample dry air circulation in between the doors.
-
03)
Handle doors with clean hands to avoid stains on the surfaces. Doors should be lifted and then taken out from the stocks. Dragging may cause damages to the surfaces.
-
04)
Taking the measurements for doors should always be after the floor work is done, such as laying of floor tiles. This is to avoid 'reducing of the height of doors to' match the final opening of the door jambs fixed to the wall. Reduction of the height more than the specified limits as mentioned above could result in potential damage to your doors and void our warranty.

05)
It is always advisable to painting or wood staining of doors as early as possible after purchasing. Always use only high quality Polyurethane (PU) Sealers and, thinners when applying paint or wood stain. The fours sides of the door (Solid wood strips) are the most Vulnerable for water penetration and must be completely sealed-off to prevent future problems.

06)
Please avoid unfinished doors to direct exposure of sunlight, damp weather and blowing with drizzle. But kindly refer our general instructions on painting and staining of exterior quality plywood doors.
-
07)
Damp or high humidity will assist the growth of surface fungi of different colors on doors and to avoid this, floor area and the surrounding walls be kept dry. Therefore, it is advisable to have a good coating of Polyurethane Sealer on doors, so that it will seal off the surface absorbing the dampness and prevent the base, for fungi and mold growth. This is vital where large constructions are carried out and doors are kept without a PU coating before fixing or painting.

It is important of selecting the door hinges, locks and other hardware depending on the size, design and weight of the door sash.

We recommend to use 3"x4" timber door frames for the heavy doors so that larger longer screws can be used for fixing the doors. This will avoid slanting of door sash from the doorframes.
