SAFETY
• Read and fully understand ALL manufacturers’ instructions before
beginning. Failure to follow proper installation and finishing
instructions may result in the denial of warranty claims for
operational or performance problems.
• Do not work alone. Two or more people are required. Use safe lifting
techniques.
• Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can cause
serious injury.
• Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc.).
• Operate hand/power tools safely and follow manufacturer’s operating
instructions.
• Use caution when working at elevated heights.
• If disturbing existing paint, take proper precautions if lead paint is
suspected (commonly used before 1979). Your regional EPA (www.
epa.gov/lead) or Consumer Product Safety Commission offices provide
information regarding regulations and lead protection.
MATERIALS AND DOOR HANDLING
• Heed material manufacturers’ handling and application instructions.
• Protect adhesive surfaces from dirt, moisture, direct sunlight and
folding over onto themselves.
• Handle in vertical position; do not drag on floor.
• Do not put stress on joints, corners or frames.
• Store door in dry, well-ventilated area in vertical, leaning position to
