RealCraft Exterior Door Warranty
2 Year Limited Warranty
RealCraft warrants that the non-glass components of its exterior doors shall be free from manufacturing defects in material and workmanship that significantly impair their proper operation and function for a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery.
If a defect in materials or workmanship is identified within this period, and the product has been installed in its original opening, RealCraft will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace the defective component.
This Limited Warranty extends to the original owner and is transferable to subsequent owners of the structure in which the product is installed.
Insulated Glass Units (IGUs)
Insulated glass units are covered under the warranty provided by our glass supplier, Hartung Glass Industries (HGI). HGI warrants that its insulated glass units will be free from defects in materials and workmanship that result in visible obstruction (such as moisture, film, or dust between panes) for a period of ten (10) years from the date of sale subject to the terms and conditions of this Standard Limited Warranty as outlined herein.
Heat-Treated Glass
Tempered and heat-strengthened glass is warranted by HGI to meet ASTM C1048 and applicable safety standards for a period of one (1) year from the date of manufacture. This glass complies with requirements listed in ANSI Z97.1, CPSC 16CFR1201 (Category I or II), and CAN/CGSB-12.1-M90.
For full details, refer to the Hartung Glass Warranty.
Important Requirements for Warranty Coverage
To maintain warranty coverage, the following conditions must be met:
Overhang / Exposure Protection
Doors must be installed with adequate overhead protection from sun and weather. Where an overhang is located directly above the door, it must project outward a minimum distance equal to 40% of the height measured from the bottom of the door to the overhang. Overhangs located significantly above the door opening may not provide sufficient protection, regardless of projection.
Finishing and Maintenance
Doors must be fully finished and sealed on all sides within fourteen (14) days of delivery. Finishes must be maintained regularly, with inspection at least annually and refinishing performed as needed to maintain protection.
Doors finished in dark colors (Light Reflectance Value (LRV) below 25), including black, are not covered under this warranty due to increased surface heat from sun exposure and the associated risk of movement and finish failure.
Light Reflectance Value (LRV) is a measure of how much light a color reflects; lower values indicate darker colors that absorb more heat.
Bow, warp, or twist shall not be considered a defect unless it exceeds ¼ inch within any 3' x 7' section of the door, measured in the plane of the door.
Warp shall be measured with the door installed in its opening and in a closed position, using a straightedge applied across the surface of the door at the point of greatest deviation.
Due to the natural characteristics of wood, some movement is expected as the door responds to changes in temperature and humidity, particularly following installation. Movement within the tolerance described above is not considered a defect.
For doors exceeding standard dimensions, additional movement may occur due to increased size and weight. Evaluation of such doors will take into account door size, configuration, and installation conditions.
RealCraft reserves the right to defer evaluation of warp-related claims for up to twelve (12) months after installation to allow the door to acclimate to in-service conditions.
Doors must be stored and handled properly prior to installation. All doors shall be stored in a vertical position (not leaning) and protected from moisture and environmental exposure.
This warranty is the sole and exclusive remedy and is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantibility or fitness for a particular purpose.
The exclusive remedy under this warranty is repair or replacement of the product, at RealCraft’s discretion.
RealCraft shall not be liable for:
- labor or installation costs
- finishing or refinishing costs
- damage to surrounding materials
- incidental or consequential damages
In no event shall RealCraft’s liability exceed the original purchase price of the product.
This warranty does not cover:
- Doors measuring greater than 8’ in height with respect to warpage
- Any custom or special-order glass
- Doors installed without adequate overhang or exposure protection
- Doors finished in dark colors (LRV below 25), including black
- Improper installation or installation not in accordance with RealCraft instructions and applicable building codes
- Normal wear and tear, including finish fading, checking or discoloration
- Damage resulting from moisture intrusion, water leakage, or high humidity environments
- Use in extreme conditions, including coastal salt exposure, high elevations, or environments such as pools, saunas and greenhouses, or installation in wall systems that do not allow for proper moisture management, (including EIFS or similar systems)
- Structural movement of the building
- Chemical damage, including acid rain or improper cleaning methods
- Product modifications after delivery
- Products not paid for in full
Additional exclusions include damage resulting from:
- Acts of God, including but not limited to severe weather, wildfire, or seismic activity
