How to Maintain your Door

Immediately after the door is fitted and after every 5,000 operations of the door, or at least once a year, oil all pivot points, check screws and clamped connections for tightness, keep the running tracks clean (do not grease them), check parts and replace any worn components where necessary.
The springs should be replaced after approx. 25,000 operations by an experienced door fitter (see fitting and operation instructions).
Do not oil the lock cylinder; if it is sticking, only lubricate with graphite dust.
For canopy doors only, check the cable every 6 months with normal usage (8 operations per day). Have the cables replaced by an expert if any wear is found.
The door, and frame if applicable, should be washed with a mild soap-based solution on a regular basis.
If the door is installed in a seafront location, the door panel and frame should be cleaned in this way at least every two months.
All other components should be brushed down on a regular basis to prevent the build up of dirt and dust etc.

Corrosive such as acids, alkalines, and salts, etc. should be cleaned from the door immediately; failure to do so will result in deterioration of the finish, which will not be covered under our limited warranty.
Garador steel doors are a finished product. They do not require immediate re-painting on site. They are however not immune to damage, which can occur at any stage of the handling of the product from factory to site. Minor surface damage can easily be repaired using touch up sprays or sticks without invalidating warranties.
