I have finished stripping several layers of paint from an old door frame. The
wood has been sanded and is ready for painting.
The frame is across a hall from a south facing window and gets a lot of direct
sun. The old paint had suffered from many years of exposure.
My question is: should I use a primer coat of SealCoat on the bare wood? Will
this extra step help with prevention of future alligatoring?

Alligatoring is usually a result of dried out oil-paint. Top coating
it with latex doesn't fix the underlying condition. Since you have
stripped it down to the bare wood, you could go with a shellac-based
sealer coat or latex primer and then top coat with latex paint.

I would not be picky about the brand for priming bare wood, other than
to choose a good brand from a paint store - Ben Moore, S. Williams, etc.
Latex primer, latex semi-gloss paint. Paint while the surface is not
under direct sun. Latex paint has more flex and ability to expand than
oil-based enamels.

...100% acrylic latex is best.
Things to ponder: Hmmm, no paint has any latex at all in it.

Unless he wants to sand it in the future :)
