Barn Door Product Care and Warranty
Product Care
POWDER COATED FINISHES
If damage to a powder coated finish occurs during installation, apply touch-up
paint(not included, available for purchase).
RAW STEEL
An attractive surface rust may develop on raw steel in humid environments. Surface
rust does not affect the structural integrity of the hardware. If this appearance is not
desired, remove rust deposits using a ScotchBrite™ pad and then apply wax, such
as Johnson® Paste Finish Wax. After letting the wax sit, buff with a lint-free cloth.
BRUSHED STAINLESS STEEL
• Use a Scotch-Brite™ pad to buff out minor scratches and imperfections.
• Periodically check the hardware for loose fasteners. Verify fasteners are
secure.
• Keep the track and wheels free of dust and debris. Periodically wipe the track
with a lint-free cloth dampened with water, a household stainless steel cleaner,
or a silicone spray.

REALCRAFT HARDWARE WARRANTY
Hardware manufactured by Real Carriage Door & Sliding Hardware (hereafter referred to as
“Real”) is warranted to be free from defects in material and craft under intended use for a period of
2 years from the date of purchase by the original owner. This warranty does not cover finishes.
Hardware sold by RealCraft but manufactured by others will be covered under the manufacturer’s
warranty. If RealCraft determines that any hardware is defective, RealCraft will, at its option, repair
or replace the defective part(s). Under no circumstances, RealCraft is liable for indirect or
consequential damages of any kind. RealCraft will not be liable nor assume responsibility for
damage or operational failures caused by supporting structures, surrounding structures, and/or
equipment. RealCraft is not responsible if the hardware is overloaded beyond the manufacturer’s
rated capacity or improperly used in an application beyond the manufacturer’s intended or
recommended use, nor is RealCraft liable for external causes such as abuse or acts of Nature.
Periodic maintenance and adjustments are the responsibility of the owner. RealCraft will not cover
maintenance and/or adjustments or any services. Any hardware that has been modified voids all
warranties. RealCraft will assume no liability for any labor charges relative to the removal or reinstallation
of any product.
WARP WARRANTY
Definition: “Warp” refers to a variation within the plane of the door itself. Warp does not refer to
the door in relation to the frame or jamb in which it is hung.
Allowable Tolerance: Pursuant to WDMA I.S.6A, the allowable tolerance for 1-3/4” (and thicker)
doors is 1/4” maximum in any 3’6” x 6’8” section.
Action on any claim for warp may be deferred for up to one year after project completion
to permit doors to acclimate to temperature and humidity conditions. The deferral period does not
count against the warranty period.
REAL BARN DOOR KIT WARRANTY
Real Barn Door Kits (hereafter referred to as RBDK) manufactured by RealCraft is warranted to
be free from defects in material and craft under intended use for 1 (one) year from the date of
purchase by the original owner. Nicks, scratches, splinters, and rough spots are not considered
defects and are inherent in a natural product. This warranty shall not extend or cover exterior
uses of the RBDK. This warranty shall not extend or cover non-sliding applications of the RBDK.
Finishes, whether applied by RealCraft or the original owner, are not covered in this warranty.
The RBDK must be adequately sealed on all sides with a high-quality sealant or primer and
finish paint within 7 (seven) days of receiving the kit. This warranty shall not extend to or cover
any damages or claims for defects if the RBDK is not sealed and/or painted within the specified
period. Should the RBDK be found defective as determined by RealCraft or its representatives
(e.g., warp-age, structural cracks, etc.), RealCraft will replace or repair said part(s). RealCraft will
not be liable for applying a finish to replacement parts. Maintenance and adjustments are the
owner’s responsibility. RealCraft will not reimburse for any maintenance services, nor will
Real assume liability for any labor charges relative to the removal or re-installation of
replacement part(s). Any door that has been modified beyond its intended use voids all
warranties.
