a.       Timber is a natural material which is subject to changes in temperature and humidity. We cannot accept liability for natural movement or distortion, warping, swelling or splitting which could be caused by the door being exposed to extremes of temperature or humidity, or if the door is not correctly stored, treated or hung. Warping or bowing of up to 4mm along the length of a door shall be deemed to be within the manufacturers tolerances.  

b.       All Modern Doors Ltd products, doors and accessories, carry manufacturer’s specific warranties, specified on the product page and (if available) within instruction attached to the product on delivery.

c.       Our products are supplied from different manufacturers, therefore they can carry different fitting and/or maintenance instructions and warranty conditions. Please contact our sales team for advice on particular products.

d.       Due to natural colour and texture variation on timber products, the delivered product may not look exactly the same as shown on the picture, although it will be made using the same technology and materials.

e.       All our products may vary in colour, texture and other minor details, therefore we strongly advise to purchase all goods for one project at the same time to avoid differences.  For additional goods that you may be hoping to match with goods previously supplied, we are unable to guarantee continuity of product.  In any event Modern Doors Ltd cannot be held responsible for natural colour or texture variation on timber products.

f.       Our standard products are sourced from different manufacturers who source their products worldwide. We reserve the right to change manufacturer’s sources without prior notice.

g.      All images displayed on our website are for illustration purposes only. Detailed technical information can be provided upon request.

Faults (glass or timber breakage, scratches, dents, damaged packaging etc.) and/or order errors (incorrect products or quantities supplied) must be reported within 24h from receipt of delivery. Photographic evidence is required to establish the damage, prior to replacing of damaged or faulty doors.

b.       Any developed faults must be reported in writing (email, fax or mail) along with a photograph of the problem area during the warranty period.

In most cases a site inspection will be carried out to confirm the fault.
