Colorbond & Coloured Steel Finish Doors
Your coloured steel door has been pre-painted with a silicone modified polyester formulation, which is one of the best paint films available today. However good a product may be, all exposed surfaces require some attention to guard against corrosion and any other harmful atmospheric effects.
Washing the door with clean water and a cloth every 14 days is recommended. More frequent washing is advised in salty or industrial fallout areas.
REMEMBER, WHEN YOU THINK OF CLEANING YOUR CAR, THINK OF YOUR DOOR.
NOTE: DO NOT WASH THE AUTOMATIC OPENER, IT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE ELECTROCUTION. REGULAR MAINTENANCE REQUIRED
Note: If correct maintenance and servicing are not carried out, warranty may be void
We recommend that you check the operation of your door at least every three to six months (more regularly in extreme environments or frequent use). The effort required to manually open and to manually close the door should be about the same (if door has an automatic opener, put into manual mode before testing door).
Lubrication
Lubrication (every 3-6 months)
Guide Tracks: (Rolling Doors) Clean the internal sections of the guide tracks with a cloth dampened with mineral turps or methylated spirits. Polish vigorously to achieve a smooth, dirt and moisture resistant surface, allowing the Nylofelt to glide more easily. DO NOT USE GREASE OR OIL ON THE GUIDE TRACKS. (Sectional Doors) Should be cleaned as per rolling door instructions, but do not required polishing of the internal guide tracks.
Steel Hinges: (If fitted). Sparingly lubricate with an all purpose machine oil. also lubricate wheel to axle bearings.
Plastic Hinges: No lubrication is generally required, however silicon spray may be used if necessary.
Springs: (Where accessible). Wipe over with an oily rag.
Locks: Your lock does not require special maintenance, however if the key becomes stiff, a spray lubricant such as RP7 is recommended. Do not grease the lock.
Automatic Openers: If you have an automatic opener fitted to your door it is important that you ensure the optimum operation of your door, otherwise you may reduce the effective life of the opener, and void your opener warranty. For more information refer to the maintenance schedule in your opener’s instruction handbook.
Opener Chain: Lubricate with Chain Lube.
