2 Product Specifications for Buffalo Forge Steel ThermaPlus Doors ThermaPlus Steel composite product specification overview: Doors built for the Buffalo Forge Steel ThermaPlus Doors Series program are included in our Buffalo Forge Steel ThermaPlus Door color product catalog, and have the following specifications*: Door Construction All 4 exposed edges are composite, and engineered wood in door stiles.

These engineered stiles extend from the top to the bottom of each stile, eliminating the need for "lock blocks". The doors therefore are not "handed"...door hardware may be installed on either door edge. 18 Gauge, heavy duty steel faces on both inside and outside faces of the door BUFFALO FORGE THERMAPLUS TM STEEL ENTRY DOORS Thermal Break Due to the door design, the door is 100% thermally broken to greatly reduce thermal transfer of heat from one side of the door to the opposite side.

All glass panels are in compliance with the CPSC 16 CFR 1201 requirements. 3) Our double thick IG decorative glass panels are produced with Insulated Glass construction using tempered safety glass on both sides. Using IG glass panels in our doors allows for easier cleaning, energy efficiency, and more security. All glass panels in the Buffalo Forge ThermaPlus Catalog doors are two layers thick. 4) Upon installation, glass panels are mounted into the door using structural silicone sealant. This sealant provides several benefits, including a straight, black sight line, and excellent weatherproof seal, and a further cushion for the glass panel to absorb the shock of a door slam. 5) The Buffalo Forge Steel ThermaPlus Door series offers various textured glass options for the double-thickness glass panels.

10 ThermaPlus Door Finishing & Maintenance Information Maintenance and Troubleshooting Maintenance: This is a steel faced door with 100% composite edges on all sides. If a GlassCraft composite jamb system is used, then all materials are composite. No maintenance is necessary other than occasional touching up of the steel if the steel face of the door or the wrought iron grille (if applicable) are scratched, or installed in a salt-water environment. Rust: The door is finished with a top-quality finish system to inhibit the formation of rust on both the surface of the door as well as on the wrought iron grilles. The doors are not warranted against rusting if scratched or installed near a salt-water environment. If rust is visible, you should sand the rusted area with 400 grit sandpaper. And then re-finish according to the guidelines on page 9. Binding or Sticking of the Door: Ensure that the door(s) continues to swing freely, does not bind in the frame, and that all hardware remains completely functional. First check to ensure that all hinge screws are securely fastened and secure. If the door continues to stick or bind in the door frame, sand the edge of the door (use an electric sander or a hand plane) to trim the door so that it does not bind or stick. Be sure to refinished the newly sanded exposed area. Cleaning the Door: Cleaning of the door is best performed by simply dusting the interior and exterior of the door using a soft, clean cloth. If required, a very mild soap and water solution may be needed to remove dirt from the door. Do not use any abrasive detergent or solvent based product, as these products will harm the quality of the finish. DO NOT use a water blaster to clean your door. Do not use any solvent to clean the door. 10

11 ThermaPlus Door Finishing & Maintenance Information Installation Notes: Trimming Edges, beveling, hinge pockets: All ThermaPlus doors may be trimmed to ensure a good fit into the jamb. The doors are produced to allow trimming of 1/4 inch maximum on the 2 long edges and the top edge. Do not trim more than this amount, or you will hit the steel face of the door. You may use standard wood-working tools to trim these edges, such as a powered saw or a wood plane or sander. The door edge may be beveled, but do not remove more than 1/4" in this process. The door edge should also be prepped for your hinges. We suggest using only 4 inch or larger ball-bearing hinges, and at least 3 hinges for a 80 inch tall door and 4 hinges for a 96 inch door. Be sure to not remove more than 1/4 inch when prepping the door for the hinges. Door edges do not have to be refinished after trimming, as the edges are all composite, and are waterproof. However, you may paint the edges after trimming if you wish. Paint colors listed on page 9. Boring: To bore holes in the door for your door hardware, make sure that your drill bit is rated for use with metal. Hinges and Screws used: ThermaPlus doors are very heavy, and the installer of the door into a home must use the correct hardware and fasteners in order for the door to be problem-free. It is essential that the door hinges be heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges...we suggest a weight rating of at least 200 pounds per hinge pair. Use 4 hinges for 8 foot tall doors and at least 3 hinges for 6-8 tall doors. Hinges must be mounted with long screw fasteners in order to correctly secure and hold the door. We suggest using wood screws that are at least 3 inches long to hold the hinge plate onto the edge of the door. Use screws of equal or longer length to affix the hinge through the jamb leg and into the wall framing. It is up to the installer to ensure that the hardware choices and installation methods are correct and proper to ensure a functioning and safe door installation. long screw fasteners extend into wall framing and at least 3" into door slab Jamb Section Single Door Entry Brick Veneer, Drywall, & Brick Mould View from Top Ball bearing Hinge INSIDE Door Interior Casing Drywall Rough Framing Weather Stripping Jamb Exterior Siding Brick Mould Brick Veneer OUTSIDE 11
