Atmospheric deposits, sulphurous acids, carbon dioxide and other chemicals in the air will discolour and tarnish any decorative finish over a period of time and cause corrosion. Regular maintenance prevents atmospheric deposits building up and attacking the metal.
Our closers and closer covers are made from durable material, which requires minimum attention but must not be neglected. A simple cleaning program should be implemented, in order to maximise the performance and life cycle thus enhancing the aesthetic value and prolonging the ‘life’ of the closers.
Wash the covers and arms (or slide arms), on a monthly basis with a mild detergent warm water and a soft sponge followed by a clear water rinse, finally wiping dry with a soft duster or chamois leather. This will be adequate to keep this system free of dirt and grime.
Do not use any form of abrasive cleaner or cleaning material on any part of the dormakaba products.
When using any detergents, rubber gloves and eye protection should be worn to protect the skin and eyes from its contact with harmful chemicals.
For routine cleaning, a soap or mild detergent in warm water should be used, followed by rinsing and wiping dry. To remove fingerprints, a detergent mixed with warm water or an alternative hydrocarbon solvent can be utilised. For oil and grease marks, a hydrocarbon solvent is recommended. Additionally, all moving parts should be kept free of dirt and debris at all times to prevent potential jamming of components.
