As much as door manufactors want you to believe that there is a way to paint your door out of sagging & bowing, that's not possible. Interior doors do not need to be sealed, primed or painted on the tops & bottoms, an exterior door that opens out---yes---but really there aren't many that open out. Just waste of time & money IMO.

Great paint job, also really like your 5 panel doors.


there is moisture in your home - bathroom/shower, sinks, laundry, cooking, respiration, etc. Your doors need to be sealed becasue of these conditions. Wood entry doors need excessive care - think of it this way - your wood front door is just the same as your wood dining table or chairs and if you put those on the front porch, think of the level of care they would require to be maintained. Nobody does that level of maintenance though on their exterior doors.
