6 Ways how to maintain steel door

Steel doors require regular servicing. This is to ensure safe operation and long life.

Some of the things to check:

• Hinges-they should be checked for any loose attaching screws, wear, or any other defect. Hinges should be lubricated by lifting the door leaf. The door should be swinging smoothly without any noise or obstruction.
• Lock set and viewer- all locks should be checked for loose screws, any notable defects or general wear. the lock should open smoothly. Viewers should be checked if they are still operational and give a clear view. It is important to lubricate frequently used locks by dipping the key in lubricant and it into the lock base a couple of times.
• Seals and gaskets- due to loss of elasticity, seals may cease to function properly. Specialists recommend greasing with silicon once every two months.
• Door and frame finish- a general visual inspection of the door and frame should be conducted from time to time. Periodic waxing is also perfect.
• Cleaning-. The door and all moving parts should be wiped regularly with mild soap and water or wood cleaning material. Do not use any cleaning material that has acid and caustic.
• Repainting- in case one should feel the need to repaint a finish-coated door, it should be assessed whether there will be adhesion between its surface and the paint to be used.
