This is one of the greatest things about our product...IT IS SIMPLE TO INSTALL. DoorFotos are more like a fitted bed sheet. They are made out of a special blend of fabric and simply wrap around the face of the door. No tools, no cutting, no adhesive tape etc, etc, etc. The only thing you might need is a little step stool (depending on how tall you are) to reach the top of the door. Watch Video. 

Great questions! With our fabric DoorFotos you simply stretch the material over the door handle or door knob for a clean professional finished look. Because of the athletic, stretchable fabrics that we use it is easy to still access your door knob or door handle simply by moving aside the fabric to get access. When you don't need to get access to the door handle, knob or keyhole, simply cover it up with the fabric (watch video).

For our corporate clients that always need to have access to the door knob or door handle for company or building regulations, we do have a more custom way that we have solved this problem. With DoorFoto™ for our corporate (not consumer) customers, we use a unique process known to the industry as hot knifing. Because of the fabric that we use we are able to create a slit using a hot knife in the fabric where the door handle/knob goes. The hot knife cauterizes the fabric leaving a very clean looking very durable slit to which leaves the door handle/knob always accessible without having to move the fabric.

The door hinges are not affected by the door wrap as the material lays nicely over the 4 corners of the door and then runs down the length of the door leaving you a very professional clean looking door wrap. 

ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT + CARE INSTRUCTIONS

We’re pleased to share our craft with you with the hope that you’ll be able to beautify the space you live in and make your surroundings a joy to behold. 

Your piece comes as laser cut raw, unsealed metal: Be careful! There could be sharp edges.  Each piece we make is cut from steel with a unique patina of its own.  It may include variations in color- no two pieces will look exactly the same.  If you are looking for a very uniform look, we recommend sealing with a metallic or tinted spray paint to seal and to establish color uniformity. 

If left to its own devices this piece can rust depending on climate (humidity and moisture and leaving it unsealed will certainly lead to rust).  If you wish to protect the original finish, we recommend sealing with a clear or tinted spray paint of your choice straight out of the box.  Please wipe the piece off with a paper towel or cloth and open the grain by lightly buffing it with sandpaper (in the same direction) prior to sealing/painting.

 For very fast rusting, we recommend the following:  

Spray paint (we love Rust-Oleum™), powder coating, chalk painting, sanding, hammering, scraping, buffing, and vinyl or washi tape always looks beautiful on your piece.  Let your inner creative genius be your guide! 

 *** For Metal Items with a stand-up tab: these pieces ship flat. You will need to bend the attached metal tabs in place for the letters to stand up (lay on a flat surface and bend the tab over a 90 degree angle - we like the edges of tables or counters)***
