Caring for your new door
Cleaning your door
Your new GRP composite door will stay in top condition with just one clean a month.
Here’s how to care for each part of your door.
| Part of the door | Cleaning | Finishing |
| Door Leaf | Keep the grime and grit away with warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth | |
| Door Frame | Wash with warm soapy warm | Stubborn stains demand a specialised UPVC cleaner. Read cleaners guidelines carefully |
| External Glass | Wash with warm soapy water with a soft cloth | Finish with a proprietary glass cleaner |
| Leaded Glass | Wash with warm soapy water | Finish with a proprietary glass cleaner (N.B. oxidisation will naturally occur over time) |
| Hardware (handles, knockers) |
Wake a clean cloth and warm water with a mild detergent, then simply wipe clean to a shine |
Maintaining your door
GRP composite doors are low maintenance -
You’ll find a little care every six months goes a very long way.
| Part of the door | Recommended Maintenance | Notes |
| 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 | They're sensitive so don't use oil or graphite powder |
| Hardware (handles, knockers) |
Just add a touch of light engineering oil on all moving parts | Easpecially important if you live near the coast or by a building or industriak site |
