Maintenance

• 1. Periodically remove covers and coat mechanisms with a silicone base lubricant. This is particularly required in corrosive environments for proper product function.
• 2. Check mounting fasteners periodically. Retighten if found loose. Apply screw locking compound (available at automotive part stores) or change part fasteners if screws continue to back out.
• 3. Periodic checks (and adjustments) of strikes are required to compensate for changes in the opening (e.g. door sagging).
