Cleaning your door
Your DoorStop door will stay in top condition with just one clean a month! Here's how to care for each part of your door
Door Leaf
Keep the grime and grit away with warm soap water (not washing up liquid) and wipe with a soft cloth
Door Frame
Wash with warm soapy water
External Glass
Wash with warm soapy water with a soft cloth
Leaded Glass
Wash with warm soapy water
Hardware (Handles, Knockers, etc.)
Take a clean cloth and warm water with a mild detergent, then simply wipe clean to a shine
Maintaining your door
Hinges
Keep them at their best by lubricating with a little light engineering oil - e.g. 3 in 1
Cylinder Locks
Need lubricating with a Teflon based lubricant
These are sensitive so don't use oil or graphite powder
Hardware (Handles, Knockers, etc.)
Just add a touch of light engineering oil on all moving parts
Especially important if you are living near the cost, or by a building site or industrial area
CAUTION
DO NOT USE
- Washing up liquid or detergent
- Abrasive cleaners or scouring pads
- High pressure or Steam cleaners
- Bleach, solvents (spirits and thinners) or adhesives
- Before cleaning your door remove all rings, bracelets, and watches
Important - protect your door from natural thermal distortion by ensuring the top and bottom locking points are engaged by pulling the handle up every time you shut the door
