Limited Lifetime Warranty
Slimfold� Products Division warrants to the
purchaser that its products, when utilized for interior
door use, will be free from defects in materials and
workmanship for the life of the product.
Slimfold� Products manufactured with galvanized
steel are additionally warranted against rusting for a
period of one (1) year from the date of purchase,
provided the finish has not been cut or abraded
through the metal. Galvanized steel should be used
where air has a high salt content or in locations with
high humidity; see specifications.
This warranty is applicable only when the products
covered by it have been installed in accordance with
the recommended written installation instructions of
Slimfold� Products Division and with established
building practices, have been accorded treatment
which is considered good practice in the building
industry regarding storage and maintenance, and have
been subjected only to normal use. Because
Slimfold� Products Division cannot control the
manner in which its products are handled after
leaving its premises, this warranty does not apply to
the finish or other damage occurring during shipment.
There are no warranties, express or implied, which
extend beyond the description on the face hereof,
including the implied warranty of merchantability and
the implied warranty of fitness for a particular
purpose.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may
not apply in some cases.
In the event the original consumer purchaser of
any Slimfold� product believes that the door or any
parts thereof covered by this warranty is defective, a
letter outlining the alleged defect should be sent
postage prepaid to the following address:

Products Division. The purchase price of the part will
be refunded and does not include labor, installation
costs, finishing costs, shipping costs, or indirect or
consequential damages of any nature. Some states do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty bestows certain legal rights, and you
