Although hollow metal doors and frames are built with steel material, they must be stored and handled carefully to avoid scratches, dents and damage. When receiving, storing and handling hollow metal doors and frames, we recommend the following procedure:

• Inspect products upon delivery. If there is any damage, notify the truck driver immediately.
  
  
• Remove cardboard and other wrappings to promote air circulation.
  
  
• Store products in a dry, clean and secured area.
  
  
• Place doors and frames at least 4" (102 mm) above the floor, on blocks or planks.
  
  
• Store doors and frames in an upright position, with welded frames header at the top.
  
  
• Provide a minimum of 1/4" (6.3 mm) space between doors and frames to promote air circulation.
  
  
• Do not drag products on the floor, as it could remove the primer and the zinc coating.
