What TM. Cobb Will Do.

In the event that a T.M. Cobb manufactured stile and rail door fails to conform to this warranty, T.M. Cobb will repair the door or, at its option, ship a replacement to its customer in the same condition of fit and finish as the door originally sold by T.M. Cobb. If T.M. Cobb is unable to replace the door and if repair is not commercially practicable, T.M. Cobb may reimburse the dealer’s purchase price of the defective door. If the claimed defect is warp, TM. Cobb may defer repairing or replacing the door for a period of up to twelve (12) months from the date of claim or the date when the door was installed, in order to permit conditioning and equalizing to humidity and temperature conditions. The company cannot under any circumstances be responsible for installation, repainting, refinishing or other similar activities necessary to complete the replacement or any cost associated with the resolve.

Glass.

Doors with insulated glass are warranted against hermetic seal failure for a period of five years from date of manufacture. Should there be a failure of the air seal within the warranty period, the company shall supply either the insulated glass only or the insulated glass in sash at the company’s option. If hermetic seal failure is caused by the use of cleaning solutions that contains chemicals that attack our sealant or if lap painting was not conducted, no warranty shall be in effect. The company cannot under any circumstances be responsible for installation, repainting, refinishing or other similar activities necessary to complete the replacement or any cost associated with the resolve. The company will furnish the insulated glass only free of charge, F.O.B. the original point of delivery. Cracked or broken glass is not covered by the warranty. Decorative glass that is hand crafted may vary from one lite to another and contain variations in color, size, glass clarity and welded joints may differ. These are not defects. Tempered glass contains varying degrees of distortions. These distortions may effect view and are not considered a defect. All glass should be cleaned with mild soap & water only. All other solutions could cause damage or seal failure. Do not allow metal parts of cleaning equipment to contact glass.
