Field Finishing
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Your Lancaster Door is designed for low maintenance with a pre-painted steel base and cellular PVC design overlays. Due to the nature of the vinyl overlays on the steel base, General Doors recommends factory colors only. If you choose to paint your door we recommend:
- Using a "vinyl-safe" or Heat Reflective Paint
- Choose a color with an LRV (light reflective value) of 55 or higher
- Properly clean door using a mild detergent and a soft cloth, then rinse with a garden hose prior to painting. Do not use a high-pressure spray.
If a darker color scheme is required, consider using our Cambridge Model door, a composite wood product designed to be painted with no color choice restrictions.
Failure to follow these guidelines can cause the vinyl overlay to distort and/or delaminate, thus voiding the warranty.
General Doors is not responsible for any paint manufacturer's performance claims.

Colors
The Cambridge line of wood composite doors is an excellent choice if you have southern exposure and require a dark color scheme
All Cambridge paint-grade doors are furnished "factory primed". The end user is required to apply two layers of top coat using a quality LATEX EXTERIOR paint ON BOTH SIDES and ALL EDGES. ADDITIONALLY, WINDOW RETAINERS MUST BE REMOVED, GLASS TAKEN OUT AND BACK GRILLES PAINTED AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. Since primers are not designed to be exposed to the weather, top coats are required for complete protection. General Doors Corporation highly recommends the top coat be applied prior to installation to achieve maximum protection. Excessive exposure of the primer coat to moisture will compromise the finishing system and VOID the warranty.
General Doors Corporation warrants that its door sections are manufactured to meet or exceed industry standards at time of shipment. Failure to follow the recommended finishing instructions above may lead to premature failure and VOID the factory warranty.
