No specific war stories. Door shielding depends on homogeneity of conductivity across door-chamber interface. That can be degraded rapidly through misuse. Fingerstock can be broken or allowed to get dirty, and sliding pocket doors can be mistreated in different ways that deteriorate the mating surfaces. I suspect the 1 year rating on the door reflects potential misuse of a moving part rather than anything intrinsically wrong with the door.
