FH 3.14: Exterior Door Will Not Close Completely

Exterior doors shall close completely and latch securely.

One-Year - Work and Materials

Doors not meeting the acceptable performance shall be repaired.

Confirm proper operation of exterior doors during the PDI and record any malfunction on the PDI Form to avoid any dispute about whether the damage was caused by the builder. Slight pressure may be required during latching to compress the weatherstripping. Exterior doors can warp to some degree because of the difference in the temperature between inside and outside surfaces.
