Smooth Operation
 |
To ensure that your windows and screens open, close, lock and
unlock easily for the years to come, follow these helpful maintenance
tips to keep your windows and doors operating smoothly. |
- Moving parts in hardware components and tracks and rollers
should be lubricated periodically. In salt-air environments
this can mean at least monthly.
- Check weather stripping around operable window and door
panels and be sure it seals evenly.
- On sliding doors and windows, make certain track areas
are kept clean. Vacuum as needed to clear dirt or any debris.
- Adjust sliding door rollers for proper height clearances.
Door rollers can be adjusted with a screwdriver through
access holes in either end of side of the sliding pain at
the bottom.
- Rolling screen doors may be adjusted to run smoothly.
Use a screwdriver - in all four corners - to make adjustments.
- After making door and roller adjustments it may be necessary
to make adjustments in the lock strike placement. Strikes
may be adjusted by loosening screwfastners, moving strike
plate and tightening. Check for proper lock operation.
