Concerning natural solid wood doors, it’s best to get the top and bottom ends of the doors sealed, stained or painted within 3 days of delivery to the job site. Especially when there are substantial changes in outside or jobsite temperature and humidity conditions doors can sometimes bow or twist very slightly which can result in an uneven gap or an inability for the door to open and close correctly when installed. Manufacturers are often aware of this when the door is returned as ‘defective’ and will sometimes refuse returns on this basis. Most of the time the doors will be ok when waiting a week or two before paint but to be on the safe side pay close attention to the changes in environment while waiting on paint.
