Do not hang or finish a defective door, if you plan to return it. The following are the limitations not to be considered defects and not covered by this limited warranty:

1. Because all doors are natural wood, some discoloration and natural grain textures are considered acceptable.
2. Warp is any distortion in the door itself and does not refer to the relationship of the door to the frame or jamb in which it is hung. The term warp shall include bow, cup, and twist. In measuring the amount of warp present in a door, the following method must be used. Bow, cup and twist are measured by placing a straight edge, taunt wire, or string on the suspected concave face of the door at any angle (i.e, horizontally, vertically and diagonally) the measurement of bow, cup, and twist is made at the point of maximum distance between the bottom of the straightedge, taunt wire or string and the face of the door. Warp shall not be considered a defect for a 6’8” door unless it exceeds ¼” in the plane of the door. Warp shall not be considered a defect for an 8’0” door unless it exceed 3/8” in the plane of the door. No doors taller than 8’ or slabs wider than 42” shall be warranted. Action on any claimed warpage may be deferred at the option of Golden Aero for period of up to 12 months since it is not uncommon for a temporary warp condition to occur as the door adjusts to local climate.
3. Panel shrinkage.
4. Trimming of door more than a ½” in the width from either side of the door and 1” on the height (top or bottom) of the door.
5. Doors which are improperly installed, hung or do not swing freely. We strongly recommend that the doors are installed by interior trim contractor.
6. Exterior doors not protected by adequate overhang. The door must be protected with an overhang that projects outward at the minimum of one half of its height. Example, if the height of overhang is 10 feet, projection of overhang must be a minimum of 5 feet. If you have a western or eastern exposure, you may still receive direct sunlight on the doors. In such cases, the required overhang projection is 2/3rds of its height, if the height of overhang is 12 feet, projection of overhang must be minimum of 8 feets.
7. Wide panel warning: in the event that your doors contains wood panels wider than 13-1/2’ measured across the grain, such door will not be covered by this Golden Aero Limited Warranty if it receives any direct sunlight.
8. Exposed to extreme weather conditions including but not limited to the following: Installation of door in prolonged direct sunlight as typically occur in east and west exposures.
9. Damage resulting from any cause beyond the control of Golden Aero including but not limited to, damage caused by normal wear and tear of doors or its components, improper storage, installation or maintenance, elements penetration resulting from caulking or installation, misuse, abuse, accident, mishandling, fire, flood, earthquake, storm, tornado, or any other act of nature (See handling and maintenance for more information)
10. Golden Aero specifically disclaims and voids the warranty in the event of customer’s pick up at our facility in NibongTebal, Penang, Malaysia and carrying the doors away in any manner inconsistent with or contradictory to our personnel’s recommendations, eg, without limitations, not properly positioned or unsecured.

12. Except for those doors of the original design, any additional component or hardware built into the door is not warranted in any maner.
13. Damage caused by installation of any storm door or combination door, which causes damaging heat buildup. Damage caused by heat buildup and inadequate conditions as a result of covering doors, among other materials, in plastic or insulation materials blocking air circulation and creating other negative effects. Wood doors are very sensitive to extreme climatic conditions and we specifically advise against covering the doors in plastic during construction process, and provide adequate air circulation at all times.
14. For Nyatoh and Merpauh Doors, mineral lines and sound knots are acceptable when evenly spread throughout the door.
15. For unfinished doors, any and all problems related to improper finishing of all surfaces and panel edges, variation in texture due to finishing, or finishing the door with high gloss of dark colours or use of polyurethane.
16. For unfinished doors, failure to fully seal and finish all six sides, including the back of hinges, with oil base, and NOT water based, sealer or paint within 72 hours of receiving the door.
17. Natural characteristic of unfinished wood movement are not warranted: wood doors are susceptible to expansion and contraction partially caused by temperature and humidity variations.
