HANDLING-STORING-PROTECTING ALUMINUM -
Tie rod doors and components are finished products that must be protected while in the
packing boxes and after assembly. The following procedures and precautions are
recommended.
A. PROTECTION AND STORAGE OF PACKAGED, UNASSEMBLED DOORS
1. Handle the boxes carefully, do not shake or drop.
2. Store the boxes off the ground.
3. If the boxes become wet, remove the contents, repack and move to a dry location.
4. Do not over stack boxes. Recommended capacity is four (4) boxes high.
B. PROTECTION AND STORAGE OF ASSEMBLED DOORS
1. If stored outside, protect the doors against the elements and other
construction trades by using a well ventilated covering, as required.
2. Do not drop or drag the doors. This may cause racking or damage to the corner
joinery.
3. If the doors are stacked together, be sure to allow adequate separation to
protect the finish.
C. CHECK MATERIAL
Check all of the door material upon arrival for quantity and damage. Any visibly
damaged material must be noted on the freight bill at the time of receipt. If a claim is
required, the receiving party must process a claim with the freight carrier. If the delivery
is by an EFCO truck, any damage or variance in the quantity of door units or boxes must
be reported to the EFCO driver during the unloading process.
D. CLEANING THE DOOR UNITS
Cement, plaster, terrazzo, alkaline, and acid based materials used to clean masonry are
very harmful to finishes and must be removed with water and mild soap immediately.
Otherwise, permanent staining will occur. A spot test is recommended before any
cleaning agent is used.
