From that point, all orders are considered correct and firm. Due to the custom nature of the product, full payment is required to begin production of your order.
  • Once an order is PLACED online, any changes requestedwill incur a $15.00 'Change-Order' administrative fee, which covers cost of paperwork and time it takes to manually change orders, and acknowledge the changes to you and the factory. Thisis during the first 24 hours after the order is placed.
  • To minimize online ordering errors or changes, We will hold orders from going into production for One (1) business day. This way, the factory will not have started making any parts for the order until at least 24 hours after the order was placed and paid for. This is the simplest way to preventLARGER Extra Charges forchanges that are made after the order is already IN PRODUCTION. After the 24 hour "HOLD" period mentioned above, the order WILL be in production, and any changes you may request to your order from then on will incur the $15.00 'Change-Order' administrative charge previously detailed, in addition to any other charges needed to change the order to your new specifications. If you would like to forego this 24 waiting period, let us know in writing by email, or on your order in the "Special Instructions" area, and we will put order into production immediately.
  • We assume no responsibility for incorrect information received by phone, fax or mail. All items are custom made to customer's specifications; therefore, cancellations of or changes to orders in process are subject to a charge to be determined by the factory at the time of request.
  • Once order is in production (usually within 24 hours of receipt), any changes will be at customer's expense. Payment is required before order can be placed into production, since each order is custom made to your specifications. Online Payment can be made by our secure server using MASTER CARD, VISA, DISCOVER, or AMERICAN EXPRESS.
  • PRODUCTION TIME IS AS FOLLOWS:
    • Generally 10 Business days (there are 5 Business days in a week) for unfinshed standard door styles and 700 series RTF doors. (10 Business days = 2 weeks)

    THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE: DO NOT SCHEDULE AN INSTALLATION UNTIL YOU HAVE CHECKED THE MERCHANDISE

    We warrant all standard products for one year from date of shipment against warpage to these tolerances:

    • Raised panel doors less than 23" in width and 46" in height are warranted against warpage of more than 1/8".
    • Frames and plywood insert panel doors less than 23" in width and 46" in height are warranted against warpage of more than 1/4".
    • Doors more than 23" in width and/or 46" in height are not warranted.
    • Drawer fronts less than 8" in height and 24" in width are warranted against warpage of more than 1/4".
    • Drawer fronts more than 12" in height (across the grain) or 30" in width (with the grain) are not warranted.
    • Mitered doors are warranted against joint gaps of 1/128" (.008) or more. Slab doors (style 370) are not warranted against warpage.
    • Paint Grade or any painted doors are NOT warranted against paint cracks in joints or visible glue lines in panels caused by natural expansion or contraction of raised panels.
    • Natural color and grain variations are not warranted, as they are considered normal in real solid wood products. (SELECT grade will have less color variation than the standard grade). “Select” Doors will Cost Slightly More Than the Non-Select Version of the Same Doors….It is not required, although highly recommended Because Color Variations Are Not Considered a Defect When Ordered in Non-Select.
    • Warranty covers replacement of door and shipping only. Warranty does not cover installation, removal, or labor of any kind. Nor does this warranty cover any product used or installed in connection with our products. This warranty does not apply to damage resulting from improper handling, alterations or storage.
    • DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR BOXES!!! All claims, including shortages, must be made WITHIN 5 DAYS of receipt. Any product claimed to be of defective workmanship or material must be repackaged for pickup for inspection at our request. Credit will be issued subject to our inspection. No returns will be accepted without authorization. DO NOT return any merchandise without notifying us first for authorization.
    • We will do everything possible to quickly rectify any problems that may arise. We are, as we have been since 1985, dedicated to customer satisfaction.
