Maintaining Your Patio Sliding Door
Although patio sliding doors by Elitech usually do not require intensive maintenance, it is always advisable to regularly clean and check on your door.
Here are a few tips to maintain your sliding door:
- First of all, always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for specific maintenance requirements. Do not over-maintain doors, as this can damage them.
- Do not forget to clean the door with dish soap and a sponge regularly. Do not use hard fabric to clean the door; it might leave scratch marks.
- Regularly check the weatherstripping and replace it if damaged. The occasional changing of weatherstripping might be ideal for preserving the door's insulation properties.
- Check the door frame and glass panels for cracks, leaks, or damage.
Installing the Sliding Door
- If you successfully finished the preparation process, carefully follow Elitech's instructions for installation.
- Ensure the door is levelled and properly shimmed to prevent misalignments since this might cause various aesthetic and functional issues.
- Securely fasten the door frame to the opening according to the instructions. Remember to use only the proper tools and equipment.
- Once the installation process is finished, test the swinging motion of the door to ensure a seamless opening. If there seems to be a problem, you may need to detach the door and reinstall it.
