Aluminium Sliding Doors
Remove dirt, dust and obstructions from the bottom track of Aluminium sliding doors to eliminate damage to the door’s rollers; this will ensure an extended life and ease of operation.

— A good general rule is that aluminium should be washed to remove dirt deposits as often as it is necessary to wash the glass of your windows; however different environments require different levels of frequency. — Lock barrels should be lubricated with a dry lube periodically. — Sliding door and window tracks can be easily cleaned by slowly pouring hot water into the track; this removes dirt and debris from the tracks and also helps keep the drain holes clear.
Garage Doors
The garage doors have been manufactured so that maintenance is kept down to a minimum. — Colorbond® doors should be washed frequently.
This applies particularly if you live in an area prone to air pollutants or exposed to sea spray. Sea salt can damage the surface, so you should wash garage doors at least once a fortnight. — Keep the manufacturer’s manual, warranty and instructions handy in case of a malfunction. We advise any adjustment be made by the manufacturer only. — Using the doors will tell you whether they need lubricating. If they have a nylon edging strip, don’t use a lubricant. Apply a dry lube or wipe the strip with ordinary household talcum powder instead. — During wet weather conditions, water may enter either under the door or through the sides of the door; this normally would not be considered a defect.
Garage Remote Control
The remote-control unit operates by batteries. The batteries will require replacing at times. Contact the door provider, who can arrange this for you. On most occasions the manufacturer’s service telephone number will be located on the rear of your garage door.
