Your Steel Doors are built to last, but they also need love!
Here at Swisstrade Security Doors, we offer top-notch steel doors for homes and buildings. Steel doors are fantastic for security and durability, but like anything else, a little tender loving care keeps them looking great and functioning smoothly for years to come.
So, how do you maintain your steel door for maximum performance? Don’t worry, we have got them handy for you. Here are some simple tips to keep your steel door looking sharp and improve longevity;
1. Regular Cleaning and Inspection: Give your steel doors a good cleaning every few months with a damp soft cloth. Dust, rain, and the occasional harmattan breeze can leave a film on your steel door. To combat this, establish a regular cleaning routine.
2. Lubricate Moving Parts: Your steel door’s hinges and locks are the workhorses that keep it opening and closing smoothly. Keep your door functioning smoothly by lubricating the hinges and locks with a light machine oil every few months. Wipe away any excess oil to avoid dirt build-up.
3. Address Rust and Corrosion: Steel doors are susceptible to rust, especially around scratches or areas with chipped paint. Steel entry doors may need to be re-coated with a protective finish every couple of years to help protect them from rust and other weather elements.
4. Weatherstripping and Seal Maintenance: The weatherstripping around your door helps keep out drafts and moisture. Inspect the weatherstripping periodically for signs of wear or cracks and replace if necessary.
5. These tips are part of the maintenance and repair regimen we offer as our after-sales services.
