Our wallcovering department carries all the quality products you need to finish
your new door. Choose from a complete line of sandpaper, stains and finishing
products to give your project that professional look. Remember, always follow all
the manufacturer's finishing instructions.
1.) Surface must be clean and dry. 2.) Lightly sand and clean door of all dust
and debris. 3.) Apply a first coat of oil-based stain, polyurethane, conditioners
or primer (oil-based is required) to all six sides of the door and jamb. 4.) When
first coat is dry, lightly sand and then clean surface. Once the oil-based primer has
properly dried, a latex or water based paint can be applied. 5.) Apply at least one
finish coat. Allow ample drying time between coats.
IMPORTANT: Water-based stain, polyurethane or conditioners are not recommended.
Only oil-based stains, polyurethane or conditioners should be
used. Apply a minimum of two coats of sealer to all six sides of the door.
Carefully follow all paint manufactures preparation and finishing instructions. Do
not close the door until the paint is completely dry.
16a) Preparing the Lockset
a
)
All Mastercraft doors are setup with a 2-1/8" bore
hole set at either a 2-3/8" or a 2-3/4" backset
(depending on door type). Non edge prepped
crossbores are set for a 1" drive point latch. This is
done to allow installers to utilize drive point latch
systems, radius plate systems, or square plate systems
(
fig.30
)
.
b
)
To install the backset as a drive point system,
simply follow the lock manufacturers instruction for
converting to a drive point. Hammer the drivepoint
into place making sure the angled portion of the
backset faces the jamb

Install the strike plate on the astragal. Our
astragals are mortised for a 1/4" radius strike
plate. If the lock manufacturer has supplied a
square plate, mark the outside edge and use a
chisel to remove the excess wood
material from around the corners of the plate.
