Your Maintenance Checklist For Steel Hinged Doors

Maintenance Checklist For Steel Hinged Doors

Strong, robust and built to last, steel hinged doors are only as effective as their maintenance. 

A high-quality door and professional installation are needed too, of course. But if you don’t take care of your door with routine upkeep, its performance and security could suffer. 

Luckily, it’s easy to take care of your steel hinged to keep your premises and assets protected. 

Your maintenance checklist 

• Regular visual inspection to spot faults, signs of wear or degradation of weatherstripping 
• Reporting any issues with opening, closing and locking the moment they are noticed 
• Repairing or replacing faulty or damaged parts that could potentially worsen or compromise security 
• Clean the door every few months with warm water and a mild detergent 
• Lubricate the hinges every 3 to 6 months to prevent rust and ensure smooth movement
• Only lubricate locking and latch systems if recommended by the manufacturer
• If your door is fire-rated, it must be inspected annually by an approved body to ensure it still complies with certain requirements
• Re-coat every few years with a protective finish
