Hardware Maintenance
Hardware Maintenance
To ensure your Jason products continue to work well for years to come, it’s important to keep your hardware well maintained. Hardware includes handles, catches, rollers and door hinges.
General maintenance
Ensure the external finish of all hardware are kept clean by removing any harmful residue, such as salt spray. These should be removed from the surface using a non-abrasive cleaning agent and wiped down with a soft cloth moistened with inox, available from hardware stores. All tracks and sills must be cleared from any sand, dirt, grit and pet hair. These can damage the product and restrict the proper function of rollers, guides and drop bolts. Weep holes must also be kept clear to enable maximum drainage.
Locks, catches and rollers
Locks, catches and rollers should be kept free of any materials that may affect their function. The internal workings of locks, handles and catches should be maintained by applying a light spray of silicon based lubricant when necessary into the areas of any moving parts. Rollers will either be of an axle design or pregreased, meaning they don’t require lubrication.
Handles
Ensure that when maintaining handles the lubricant doesn’t come into contact with the finished surface of the product.
