Rustica Unassembled Kit Door Guide
1. In some areas of the country we see more damage than acceptable when kits doors are shipped unassembled in a ground shipping box, so it is possible that a kit door may ship in a crate via a freight carrier so that your beautiful door arrives without damage.
2. If shipped put together in a crate the overlays will be left to be installed on site. We recommend that you attach them with pin nails, wood glue or (if neither of those are good options) you can use ½” wood screws (not included and not recommended).
3. Many Rustica door kits have the same options as the recommended Rustica assembled doors but are offered with a more economical price.
4. Door kits do not have a warranty against warping, separating or splitting.
5. It is possible that your kit door may come unassembled and need to be assembled using the 7 inch lag screws through the side of the stiles.
6. For both Kit and Assembled doors... the hardware (hangers, handles and pulls) are not installed and the doors are not pre-drilled which allows every installation the ability to make any unique changes needed.
No. The back side of the door is an alder panel with your selected finish.
The steel panels used for these doors are not without blemish and character. They come in different sizes, patterns and unique marks. You can select Clear Coated Raw Steel and the panels will be protected with a clear coat, but may require upkeep in the future.. If you select Raw Unfinished Steel the frame and panels will more quickly patina and oxidize depending on the environment.

For both Kit and Assembled doors the hardware (hangers, handles and pulls) are not installed and the doors are not pre-drilled which allows every installation the ability to make any unique changes needed specific to your needs. When selecting handles and pulls it is important to know that there is a solid 5.5in frame all the way around the door. Handles or pulls that require routing out the door can be installed, but the installer will need to cut the steel first before routering out the wood.
Yes, our patented adjustable spacers and header-boards allow the door to be installed over existing door frames.
