>> Can you share with us what experiences you have had with doors of your steel clad chambers? If you could share such things as chamber vendor, hinge adjustments, door maintenance recommended and performed, warranty claims and length of time without problems, that would help us understand the 1 year policy. Anyone have any interesting stories? <<
Don, >From the numbers you gave, I'd say the reason is, the doors are five times more likely to fail than the chambers. This is reasonable - they are the only things that move. And I'd say that the causes of failure are more related to installation practice and maintenance, than to design, so a one-year warranty will cover problems due to (say) being slightly mishung. Though workmanship should have its own warranty, if their team installs it. After a year, door failures are likely almost ALL due to maintenance or its lack, than to materials and installation. I've rarely seen folks doing monthly maintenance on the fingers that seal a door. That's MY two cents.
