Care & Maintenance—Simple Steps for Smooth Operation

Keep your hardware in excellent working order with regular care and maintenance. Every six months, lightly lubricate all handle pivot points and locking parts using GT85 or a similar general-purpose lubricant—but use a specialist dry lube for profile cylinder locks only. Apply light machine oil (like 3‑In‑One) to hinge pivot points. Clean all painted or plated surfaces gently using a soft, non‑abrasive cloth dampened with warm water—never use harsh chemicals. Do not over-tighten handle fixing screws to avoid impairing operation.
