Warranty

Custom Iron Door Pros Limited Warranty guarantees that all iron doors sold will be free from covered defects in material and craftsmanship for a one-year period after the initial purchase date (not installation date).

Do note that doors are sold only with the frame that they were built on, and proper closure and reveal have been checked during build. The most common issue with an Iron door is a result of improper installation resulting in improper reveal and/or closure issues. These issues are always a result of misaligned frames during installation or from improper clearance around the structure the door is set in. THESE ISSUES ARE NOT COVERED BY CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS.

Although many people set their own door, it is strongly recommended that you use someone experienced in how to set an Iron Door properly. Any issues with paint must be noted within 24 hours of pick up or delivery. Once the door is installed or an attempt to install the door is made, all sales are final, and CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS will only provide the customer with a replacement part that is covered. Installation is the responsibility of the purchaser and/or their installer. Many factors can affect finish, including allowing water inside the door (especially while still crated), exposure to solvents, foam insulation, paint, damage done during construction, and pressure washing. As a result, CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS will not warranty finish after installation or for damage done by the purchaser's neglect.

Customer or installer should verify alignment of door hardware and strike when installing the door even if hardware is being installed at a later date, as this is a crucial part of verifying the door is set properly. If there is a visual issue with the door, it should be noted before installation begins. Doors are handcrafted and hand-finished works of art and there are expected to be variances in color, finish, and even hairline cracks in doors, and these are not defects but individual characteristics making each door unique. Touch up of minor shipping scuffs and or scratches should be expected and are the responsibility of the purchaser and/or their installer. Rustoleum flat or satin touch-up paint should be used. If a bronzer is needed CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS will provide that to you. Touch-up paint should be used sparingly and do remember it is touch-up not factory finish. If you get a deep gouge in your door, we can guide you on using filler before touching up.

Custom Iron Door Pros will provide a replacement of any covered substandard parts that have been deemed defective within one year from the date of sale on moving parts at Custom Iron Door Pros’ sole discretion. Unlike most iron door companies who provide no warranty unless their installers install your door, CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS will provide replacement parts on any covered part that is deemed defective regardless of who does your install but is in no way responsible for or warranties your installation. Doors that are aligned properly after install and later become misaligned are a result of the structure moving, as the iron doors do not swell or shrink, and these issues are usually not covered by installers. Repairs will be by the purchaser or their installer at their expense as Custom Iron Door Pros does not provide install, measurements, or do service calls as CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS is a wholesaler of doors and allows buyers to buy direct from them at wholesale prices and services. Locally used preferred installers generally provide complementary measurements as well as service calls on a covered item as a part of their installation charge, but the buyer should verify all installation warranty and services with the installer of their choosing as they will need to work directly with them for services.

All doors are guaranteed to be built to the specs approved by the purchaser, their installer, builder, or individual providing Custom Iron Door Pros with measurements for the door purchased, or those printed on in-stock doors. Custom Iron Door Pros guarantees that special order doors will be built in accordance with the CAD drawing approved by the purchaser; however, Custom Iron Door Pros is not responsible for any issue resulting from the acceptability of doors approved by the customer as far as design, appearance, size, or placement of handles or swing. The purchaser is responsible for door features approved, and CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS is responsible that the door is built to specs on the CAD drawing only. The customer should expect some touch-up after installation, and this is their or their installer's sole responsibility.

About our doors and WARRANTY

As stated Custom Iron Door Pros Limited Warranty guarantees that all iron doors sold will be free from covered defects in material and craftsmanship for a one year period after the initial purchase date (not installation date). Do note that CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS is a wholesaler of doors and many aspects of a door warranty are covered at the retail or install level with many exclusions. We allow you to purchase at the wholesale prices that we sell to builders as well as other Iron Door Retailers who mark up and resell our doors. We have cut out the retailer and sell you the door at over half off the full retail price. Our goal is to provide you with service and quality that far exceeds your expectations, however please note that although we do not provide you any less service than we do our builders and retailers, we cannot offer you anymore and still offer you the wholesale price.
Our doors are 12-gauge steel, which is 29% thicker and heavier than many of our competitor doors. Our techniques allow us to precision build doors, therefore requiring up to 70% less bondo than our competitors, resulting in doors that arevisibly the best on the market. All iron doors do have some amount of bondo and as a result of heat and cold exposure it is typical for a door to organically develop minor cracks and this will not be considered a defect covered by any warranty.As part of maintenance of your door, any time you see exposed metal or an area of rust, this is an indication that water is reaching the metal and general touch up by the consumer may be necessary to protect the door.

Note, that when purchasing more than one door or door and transom with faux finishes there may be variances in color in pieces or from samples as each is hand finished. Center glass seal is only covered if noted before installation as seal, although rare, can be broken during delivery, install, by pressure washing a door or by slamming doors after installation.

All Iron Doors are individual hand-built works of art and it should be expected to have variances in color or texture or finish that are a part of the unique characteristics of an Iron Door and are not deemed to be defects. Door glass or doors with fixed glass have a caulk line that may need re-caulked with black caulk as a result of shipping and or weathering or general maintenance and is not deemed as a defect.

Iron doors can sweat and may not be suitable for all climates and may sweat in all climates depending on dew point and humidity levels and is not a defect of the door, doors are insulated but are not thermal broken.

Buyer has a 24-hour inspection period after picking up or delivery to note any damage. Virtually all damage done to a door is done during self-delivery and or installation as these doors can weigh up to 1000 pounds and can be damaged if mishandled and or dropped or installed incorrectly. Damage done as a result of mishandling is not covered.

If your door is being shipped, any damage or loss should be processed through the shipping company. If visible damage has been done to the shipping container it should be noted and or refused.

Virtually all door companies exclude any warranty if you use your own installer or install yourself. We will provide you with the same parts warranty regardless of who you choose to install your door.

Our doors are pre-hung and inspected on the frames they were built on before disassembly and packing. Most all issues with clearance and door reveal are 100% an install issue and will not be covered. Also, home settlement can result in doors becoming misaligned and or rubbing after install and are not covered by any installer.

If you have foundation movement, that should be addressed before installing an iron door. Check with your installer as to what additional warranty if any that they provide.

Although installation of an Iron Door can be simple, it is much different than a wood door where you have the ability to trim or chisel the door down to get proper closure. Iron doors must be set properly and require some expertise to do so. In order to set the frame properly, clearance around the frame from the structure should be 1/2 to 1 inch. All doors have been custom built and tested on individual custom frames for proper function and closure.

Purchaser may need to pre-drill screw holes or use self-tapping screws for hardware as strike plate holes and mounting holes vary from hardware manufacturers. If more than one door is purchased, please remember to note which doors go on which frame before unwrapping as each door is custom built on its corresponding frame.

We provide an installer list as a convenience, and although they have shown good work ethics and quality workmanship in the past, we in no way are responsible for their actions and or work and suggest that all customers do their own due diligence before hiring any installer. We are not responsible for any damages done to your home as installers are independent contractors and do not work for Custom Iron Door Pros. You agree to hold Custom Iron Door Pros harmless for any of their actions and or performance.

We allow you to work directly with them, cutting us out as the middle man, to save you money, and therefore you take on the responsibility of working with them, and all terms of your install will be negotiated by you.

CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS will not be liable for any issues that arise between you and your installer or your installation. Custom Iron Door Pros will work with you or them to provide parts for any covered defective item needed.

Custom Iron Door Pros may assist you in contacting an installer to do a measure and estimate but does not recommend one installer over the other. We will work with whomever you pick to provide us with measurements and or do your install, but ultimately you are responsible for your install and measurements.

Any and all lock sets purchased are fully covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and any warranty issues should be directed to them.

We suggest using Rust Oleum flat black paint for touch-ups, and we have bronzer available upon request. We ask you to keep in mind that exposure to natural elements and frequent use is expected to cause Iron Doors to naturally age. Cleaning should be done with a mild soap and water.

Although Custom Iron Door Pros are zinc coated on the outside to help prevent water penetration thru the paint, they are not zinc coated on the inside where they are foam insulated. Care should be used to avoid allowing water to penetrate the door especially thru bored hardware holes. If doors are left in the rain or get soaked while in the crate before installation, water can pool around the bubble wrap in the bottom of the crate allowing water to enter inside of door and soak foam insulation which may cause blistering of the paint and would be the negligence of purchaser. Doors should be protected from other subs that can cause damage to doors thru, solvents and paint, insulation, or texture over spray. Over cleaning, pressure washing or using harsh chemicals may result in damage and voids warranty on door.

Under no circumstances will CUSTOM IRON DOOR PROS pay for any labor charges for installation, removal or re-installation of doors. Labor charges for installation, removal, or re-installation of doors will be at YOUR EXPENSE
