Warranty, Care and Maintenance Guideline

Maintenance is required to preserve the original appearance and operation of our products. Customers are required to take responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of all doors and screens.

Surfaces should be inspected regularly and kept clean by prompt removal of all dust, dirt, grime and other foreign matter using a soft sponge with clean soapy water, using a mild detergent. Wash off any detergent residue with clean water and dry. Under no circumstances should you use any abrasive type of cleaning agents or caustic solutions, steel wool or scourer pads.

Frequency of cleaning is largely dependent on the location of the building. In most circumstances cleaning should be carried out every 3-4 months.

We recommend a cleaning regime for products that are situated in hazardous environments to be inspected and cleaned more frequently (Eg: exposure to salt spray and situated within 15 km from the coastline or industrial areas). 

Insect mesh, pet mesh and security mesh can be cleaned with a soft brush or duster.

The speed of the door closers can be adjusted with a Phillips head screwdriver.

For locks, quarterly wipe the strike plate, inside and out with a soapy rag to remove build-up of debris. Lubricate the strike plate with WD-40 or similar. For short term solutions, lubricate the lock tongue & cylinder with WD-40 or similar or a powder graphite lubricant for long term lubrication.

For sliding doors, please ensure the tracks are kept clean and clear of any dirt, dust, pet hair or debris.

Warranty on the construction, powder coat finish & installation on screen security doors will vary, depending on product purchased. Please see below warranty periods.
