Exterior Door Swings Open Or Closed By Itself

Acceptable Performance/Condition
Exterior doors shall be installed sufficiently plumb and square so they do not swing by themselves due to the force of gravity alone.

Warranty
One-Year Work and Materials
Alterations, deletions or additions by the homeowner are not covered by the warranty.

Action
Exterior doors not meeting the acceptable performance shall be repaired.

Remarks
Confirm proper operation of exterior doors during the walk-through and record any malfunction on the Certificate of Possession Form to avoid any dispute about whether the damage was caused by the builder. Doors will swing open or closed by the force of gravity if the hinges are not aligned plumb.
