The finisher must thoroughly sand the faces and edges of the door. This should be done with the door in a horizontal position with 120 or 150 grit sand paper. Final sanding should be with 180 grit sand paper. This process is necessary in order to remove all scuffs, handling marks, scratches, raised grain, burnishes, and effects of exposure to moisture. After sanding all wood, dust must be removed and surfaces inspected for any remaining blemishes before finishing. Repeat sanding process if any remaining marks are detected.

These provisions are outlined in the WMDA Industry Standard 1-A for Wood Flush Doors and are referenced by the Architectural Woodwork Institute Quality Standards, Section 1300.
