How to Maintain Your Security Screen Doors

date

16 Jan 2025

Your SecureView SaltWater Series screen doors are built to withstand the toughest Australian conditions, especially in coastal regions like the Sunshine Coast, where exposure to salt air and humidity is common. While these high-quality security doors are engineered for long-term performance and corrosion resistance, regular care and maintenance will ensure they continue to operate smoothly and look their best for years to come.

Keep Your Security Screens Looking & Performing Their Best

To preserve the condition and functionality of your SecureView security screen doors, we recommend a simple cleaning and maintenance routine every 3 to 6 months:

  • Clean the mesh and frame using a soft cloth or sponge and a mixture of mild detergent and warm water. This removes salt, dust, and other airborne particles that can accumulate over time.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools such as steel wool, as these can damage the powder-coated finish and compromise the integrity of the screen.
  • After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water and gently dry the surfaces with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent water spots or residue build-up.

Don’t Forget the Hardware

Maintaining the hardware is just as important as cleaning the mesh and frame. Regularly inspect the locks, latches, and hinges to ensure they are secure and functioning properly. If you notice any stiffness or resistance:

  • Apply a silicone-based spray lubricant to moving parts such as hinges, rollers, and locks. This helps prevent corrosion and ensures smooth operation, especially in areas prone to salt exposure.

Keeping up with these basic steps will extend the lifespan of your screens and preserve both their security performance and aesthetic appeal.
