genuine Therma-Tru components: sidelites, any applied or inserted panels, dentil shelf, divider bars on doors and sidelites, glass lite inserts with
Therma-Tru logo glass temper blaze, wood grilles, hinges, weatherstrip, door bottom sweep (gaskets), rain deflector, rain guard, sill pan, screens, internal
grids, corner seal pads, door sill, astragal, and multi-point locking system door handles and lockset (on fiberglass Products only). This Limited Warranty

within 5 miles of a body of salt water, (ii) the finish, and (iii) multi-point locking systems installed in steel Products). See Section 2a “WHAT THIS LIMITED

® Fire Door (TR 12-24) Steel Edge Doors
Residential Limited Warranty
For Purchases Made on or After January 1, 2013
GLASS COMPONENTS: Are free from non-conformities in material and workmanship resulting in internal glazing failure, seal failure, internal insert slippage,
and permanent and material visual obstruction from moisture or dust film formation in the air space of the sealed glass unit.
NOTES ABOUT TIMELY FINISHING OF DOOR SYSTEMS:
• For continued warranty coverage, all fiberglass Therma-Tru door systems (Products) must be finished within 6 months of the installation date; and
all steel Therma-Tru door systems (Products) must be finished within several days of the installation date. However, all bare or unprotected wood
surfaces (such as door frames) on all steel and fiberglass Products (including any bare or unprotected wood surfaces used or exposed by builders,
contractors, dealers or distributors on or in conjunction with the Products) should be primed and painted, or stained and top coated within the lesser
of 2 weeks of installation or exposure to weather. All doors must have all 6 sides finished. (Note: If a genuine Therma-Tru door bottom sweep (gasket)
is properly applied by the builder, contractor, dealer, or distributor to the bottom edge of the door, then only the 5 remaining sides of the door require
finishing.) For all doors, sides, top and bottom must be inspected and maintained as regularly as the front and back face surfaces.
• Improper or untimely finishing of the Product by the Warranty Holder or its agents (i) increases the chance for Product damage of the type which is
NOT COVERED by this Limited Warranty and (ii) increases the preparatory work that must be performed by the Warranty Holder or its agents in order
to properly finish and maintain the Product in a manner not inconsistent with Therma-Tru’s recommendations and instructions. This is particularly a
consideration for steel Products.
• Therma-Tru Same-Day® stain finishing product is recommended for staining and top coating fiberglass Products that do NOT have a Therma-Tru
factory-applied exterior finish, that is, for Classic-Craft® and Fiber-Classic® Product, and is covered by a separate 5-year limited warranty from the date
of purchase. (Request a copy for all terms and provisions from Therma-Tru as indicated in Section 6 below or from your builder, dealer or contractor
who installed or sold the Product.)
• See Therma-Tru’s recommendations and guidance for proper finishing of fiberglass and steel Products at www.thermatru.com (i) “Recommendations
For Proper Finishing and Painting or Staining”, and (ii) “Frequently Asked Questions”.

*A “door” and a “door system” are not the same. A “door system” is assembled by a person (for example, your builder, contractor, dealer, or distributor) who sources and combines various separate components, including the “door slab,” into an entry system.
If your door system is assembled using all genuine Therma-Tru parts, then you receive far more than just a beautiful door. You are purchasing an entry system in which every component has been manufactured or recommended by Therma-Tru to work
together as an integral “door system” …AND you will get the full benefit of a Therma-Tru door system limited warranty.
.** A 20-minute Fire-Rated door must be permanently labeled with a fire door certification label to signify that the Product is qualified as Fire-Rated. To determine if an eligible door has been machined and is certified for use as a fire door, an official fire door
certification label will be affixed, usually between the top and middle hinge, on the edge of the hinge side of the door slab. In the event that a fire door certification label is missing or has been removed, for a Fire-rated door to retain its fire rating it must be field
labeled by the certification entity that originally certified the door (usually Warnock Hersey Intertek or Underwriters Laboratories). A Therma-Tru Fire Door (TR12-24) Steel Edge must be installed with a Therma-Tru Adjusta-Fit
of $2,000 reimbursement if water infiltrates under a properly assembled, installed and maintained fiberglass door system that meets the additional provisions stated in the Tru-Defense
and a smoke and draft intumescent seal to achieve a 90-minute or 60-minute positive pressure rating.
Warranty Rider for Fiberglass Door Systems is available from Therma-Tru Corp., 1750 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee, Ohio 43537, at 800-537-5322 or at www.thermatru.com, or from the builder, dealer or contractor who installed or sold the Product.
