Wedge door open with two flat sticks; a wooden or rubber wedge; or a rolled up newspaper. If using a wooden wedge be careful not to kick it out afterwards as this can split the bottom edge of the door.
Put cardboard or newspapers under the door to protect floor or
carpet. If possible remove all handles, locks and other fittings (excepting hinges) from the door as this will make painting easier. When you remove handles and locks dust behind thoroughly and blow out the dust from the lock cavity as this can easily end up in your paint. New doors often have sawdust in the lock cavity.
Brushes required: 1 x 1" (25mm) and 1 x 3"(75mm), (optional: 2"(50mm) if preferred)
