General Advice on Care and Maintenance of Cardale garage doors

Door Cleaning. Periodically clean the door panel using warm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Allow to dry naturally. Never use detergent, abrasive, caustic or solvent based cleaners as they may damage the door surface. Bird droppings should be removed immediately as these can be particularly caustic.

Door Servicing and Maintenance. All doors should be operated and maintained in line with operating and maintenance instructions supplied with every door. Every six months visually inspect all wear items (including cables) for signs of wear. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and should only be repaired or replaced by a suitably qualified engineer.
