Maintenance:
Doors must be maintained as per the supplied Installation, Operating and Maintenance Manual by a Garage Door Specialist.
Failure to carry out the required maintenance at the advised interval will invalidate the warranty.
On installation:
After the installation has been completed, clean and dry the door thoroughly inside and out with warm soapy water to remove any grease, dust and metal fragments from the door (these will discolour the door finish if left on the door).
Cleaning Your Door:
The door should be washed with a car shampoo or similar, every two months, to prevent the build up of dirt, salt, grit and other corrosive substances.
If the door is in an area prone to coastal corrosion from airborne salts, the door should be cleaned monthly.
I live in a coastal area, what does that mean for my garage door?

Furthermore, cleaning lifting gear with a cloth soaked in a light oil will help to protect your door from corrosion – it must be accepted that salt air is very aggressive and extra care is required.
No caustic, abrasive or corrosive chemicals and substances, flood water, water runoff, or runoff from lead, copper or galvanic metal flashing should be allowed to come into contact with the door.
Ash, cement, dust, animal waste, or foreign substances should be removed immediately. Failure to ensure the door is cleaned and maintained as described will invalidate the doors’ warranty.
