Doors and Windows

Doors or windows don’t open, close, or latch properly

Conditions that cause doors and windows to not open, close, or latch properly include, but are not limited to, improper or poor framing, damaged or loose hardware, excessive moisture, or structure settling in the affected area. If settling damage has caused problems with the doors and windows, they can be trimmed, adjusted, or re-framed to allow for easy and proper opening and closing. However, areas should be noted and monitored for additional settling problems, especially during periods of high rainfall or immediately after seismic activity, and any additional damage should be evaluated by a licensed structural engineer.

If Client is unfamiliar with settling damage at doors and windows, Client should seek the specialized services of a licensed structural engineer for further evaluation and information BEFORE CLOSE OF ESCROW.
Tempered safety glass

Glass walls, doors, and windows were verified as tempered safety glass where typically required or desired. While all glass breaks, tempered safety glass typically will shatter into hundreds or thousands of smaller, less dangerous pieces, whereas standard glass can shatter into large shards which can cause large cuts and wounds, and even pierce internal organs. In many cases, tempered safety glass will even hold together, allowing cleanup to be accomplished more easily.
