Maintenance

1. Periodically remove covers and coat mechanisms with a silicone-based 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).
