In daily life, aluminum anti-theft doors, as an important barrier in the home, not only safeguard the peace of the family but also influence the overall style of the home with their appearance and performance. To keep aluminum anti-theft doors in good condition, cleaning and maintenance are essential.
For daily cleaning, it is recommended to conduct a thorough cleaning once a week. For the surface of the door body, a soft cotton dry cloth can be used to gently wipe away dust and loose dirt. If there are slight stains on the door body, such as fingerprints or water marks, a slightly damp soft cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral cleaner can be used to gently wipe the stained area. Then, use a clean damp cloth to remove any cleaner residue and dry the area with a dry cloth to prevent moisture from causing oxidation on the door surface.
For areas such as the door frame and door seams, which are prone to dirt accumulation, a soft-bristle brush or a slender cleaning tool, such as an old toothbrush, can be used to remove dust and debris from the gaps. Regularly check the sealing strip around the edge of the door frame. If dust accumulation is found, wipe it clean with a damp cloth to ensure the strip’s seal and elasticity, preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior of the door.
In addition to daily cleaning, regular maintenance is also crucial. Every three months, a few drops of lubricating oil can be applied to the hardware components such as door locks and hinges to ensure their smooth operation. For the door lock, first wipe the lock cylinder clean with a dry cloth, then add one or two drops of lubricating oil. Turn the key repeatedly to allow the oil to fully penetrate the interior of the lock cylinder. For hinges, apply an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the screw holes and pivot points to prevent rusting and sticking.
If scratches appear on the surface of the aluminum anti-theft door, they can be treated according to the depth of the scratches. For minor scratches, aluminum-specific polishing paste can be used. Dip a soft cloth in an appropriate amount of polishing paste, gently polish the scratched area, and then wipe it clean with a clean soft cloth to make the scratches lighter or disappear. For deeper scratches, contact a professional repair person to use a repair paint that matches the color of the door body for patching. After the repair paint dries, proceed with sanding and polishing.
Moreover, during the cleaning and maintenance process, avoid using cleaners that contain strong acids or alkalis to prevent corrosion of the door surface. Also, pay attention to the softness of the cleaning tools and avoid using hard brushes or coarse cloths to prevent scratching the door body. By using the correct cleaning and maintenance methods, aluminum anti-theft doors can remain clean and new-looking, adding a touch of tidiness and beauty to the home.
