OUTER FRAME
The face of outer frame should be cleaned using a soft sponge and
warm soapy water once every 3-4 months (use a mild liquid detergent
e.g. washing up liquid). Rinse with clean water and dry using a soft, lint-
free cloth.

do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as these can all damage
the finish of the outer frame.

Non Stainless Steel Hardware eg letterplates, knockers, hinges etc should
be cleaned on a monthly basis using a soft sponge and warm soapy
water.
Stainless Steel* Hardware should be cleaned on a monthly basis with a
general household stainless steel cleaning product.
Do not use any substances containing harsh chemicals or solvents on
any hardware and do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as these
can all damage the finish of the outer frame, door and door furniture.
*Check with your Installer regarding which parts of the door furniture are
stainless steel. Refer to British Stainless Steel Association for further info.
MOVEABLE DOOR PARTS
Any moveable parts should be lubricated at least once every 12
months, however we recommend that this is done twice a year.
This applies to:
Lock Mechanism
Hinges
Handles
Knockers
Letterplates
Use 3 in 1 Oil or silicon spray on all moveable parts listed above. (Do not
use on cylinders – see below.)
Examples:
For handles, spray the lubricant at the point where the handle meets the
backplate; for lock mechanisms, spray the lubricant into the gaps where
there are hooks/latches located. To finish, lift the handle up and down
half a dozen times to ensure that the lubricant reaches all areas of the
mechanism. This can also be done by turning the key/thumbturn if no
Lever type handle
is present.
CYLINDERS
Cylinders should be lubricated using strictly only Graphite Powder at
least once every 6 months.
Do not use any Oils or WD40 as this can cause the cylinder to seize up.
