Policies/Remedies Any warranty claim for a reasonably noticeable defect is void if made after 30 days from receipt of the door. Claims for latent defects must be made as soon as they become reasonably noticeable. Claims should be made in writing, E-mail is acceptable. Phone calls prior to written notification will not be considered as claims. Frank Lumber reserves the right to require proof of purchase to consider a warranty claim. Frank Lumber may require photographs of a defect in order to pre-qualify any applicable site visits or offer of remedy.

Insulated glass inserts are covered for 1 year from date of receipt. By law, all glass installed in doors must be tempered. The tempered label etched into the lower corner of a glass insert is not a defect, it is legally required. Tempered glass is more prone to scratch than annealed window glass, so care must be taken when removing glazing sealant and cleaning the glass. The Industry standard for glass scratches allows minor scratches; if they are not visible from 5 feet away, they are not considered defects.

Frank Lumber is under no circumstances liable for any damages over and above the original purchase price of a door or pre-hung door system. Any costs associated with project specific delay(s) or re-work in a full replacement or refund situation are not warrantable. Please thoroughly inspect your door prior to finish or installation.

1. Improper installation causes damage or deterioration of the doors function.
2. Door units modified by any party other than Frank Lumber are not covered.
