Before Installing a New Door: Protect Your Return Options

SSD
Skid Steer Doors of North America
SEPTEMBER 2026

What should you check before installation?

Compare the delivered order with your machine identification and selected product before making changes to any part. If something looks wrong, pause and contact Skid Steer Doors of North America. Checking first can prevent an avoidable mismatch from turning into an installed or altered item that is harder to return.

Match three things before starting

Keep the order confirmation, selected product listing and actual machine information together. Confirm the chosen options and look over the supplied components. Photograph packaging or condition concerns when you receive the order. Do not assume an unexpected component should be drilled, trimmed or otherwise changed to make the kit resemble an old assembly.

Read the return terms for the selected product

Door product descriptions state that returned items must be new and reusable, and that returns should be arranged with the team first. They also state that initial shipping costs are non-refundable. Read the current terms for your specific order; this guide does not expand them or promise a refund. Keep packaging and order details available while a question is resolved.

Separate fit questions from installation work

An installer can review the instructions and current cab before modifying anything. If the machine has prior alterations or damaged mounting areas, explain that to the team. Stop if the supplied kit and the documented machine do not match. Do not send a package back without return arrangements, and do not treat a warranty against breakage as a general trial or satisfaction guarantee.

Quick answers

Should I ship an item back immediately?

Contact the team first to arrange the return. Follow the current terms and instructions for the order.

Is a return the same as a warranty claim?

No. They address different situations. Explain whether the issue is order suitability, delivery condition or later product damage.

Find the right next step

Find a door for your machine and compare the current product details with your complete model and cab configuration.
