Warranty, Care and Maintenance Guide

Care and Maintenance Requirements

Thank you for choosing Doorite Screens. With simple, regular care, your new doors and screens will continue to look great and operate smoothly for years to come.

Cleaning Instructions

Check your doors and screens regularly and remove dust, dirt, salt, grime and other build-up as soon as practical. Clean surfaces with a soft sponge, mild detergent and clean soapy water. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

Please avoid abrasive cleaners, caustic products, steel wool and scouring pads, as these may damage the finish. Homes close to the coast, salt water, pools, farms, industrial areas or dry, dusty environments may need cleaning more often.

For Lubrication on locks and tracks, Use silicone spray only. Do not use WD-40 or oil-based products. These can leave a sticky residue that attracts dirt and may jam the lock over time. Silicone spray helps repel water, reduce friction, and protect the moving parts.

Recommended Maintenance Schedule

Environment	Description	Cleaning Interval
Mild	More than 10km from beachfront, salt waterway or waterbody, farming, or heavy industry	Every 6 months
Moderate	Within 5km to 10km from beachfront, salt waterway or waterbody, farming, or heavy industry	Every 2-3 months
Coastal	Within 1km to 5km from beachfront, salt waterway or waterbody, farming, or heavy industry	Every 1-2 months
Marine	Within 500m to 1km from beachfront, salt waterway or waterbody, farming, or heavy industry	Every 2-3 weeks

Additional Maintenance Tips

· Gently clean insect mesh, pet mesh and security mesh with a soft brush or duster.

· Door closers can be adjusted with a Phillips head screwdriver if the closing speed needs changing.

· For locks, clean the lock plate inside & out, apply silicone spray to the lock tongue. We also recommend silicone spray every 6 months, or whenever the lock starts to feel stiff.

· For sliding doors, keep tracks clear of dirt, dust, pet hair and debris. A light silicone spray can help the door slide smoothly.
