FAQs
How often should I apply this lubricant?
Application frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. For doors with heavy use or exposure to the elements, reapplication every 3-6 months is recommended. For less frequently used doors, an annual application may suffice.
Can I use this on window tracks?
Yes, this lubricant is suitable for window tracks and other sliding mechanisms that require smooth movement, provided they are compatible with silicone-based lubricants.
Is this product safe for painted surfaces?
The non-staining formula is generally safe for painted surfaces. However, it is always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility.
Will this attract dirt or dust?
No, the 100% silicone formula dries quickly to a non-sticky finish, which helps prevent the attraction of dirt and dust, maintaining cleanliness.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, the product typically maintains its efficacy for several years. Check the manufacturing date on the can for specific details.
Can I use this on metal hinges in outdoor conditions?
Yes, this lubricant is designed to protect door components from wear and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor metal hinges. It provides a protective layer against moisture and environmental factors.
Does it have a strong smell?
The formula is low-odour, designed for clean, hassle-free use, minimizing any strong chemical smells often associated with other lubricants.
Troubleshooting
Door still sticking after application
Ensure the surface was clean before application. Reapply the lubricant and check for any physical obstructions in the track or on the rollers. For severely damaged components, replacement may be necessary.
Lubricant leaves a residue
While the formula is non-sticky, excessive application can lead to overspray. Wipe away any excess with a clean cloth. Ensure the can is held at the recommended distance during spraying.
Squeaking noise persists
The noise may be coming from a different part of the door mechanism. Apply the lubricant to all potential friction points, including hinges, rollers, and tracks. If the noise continues, inspect for worn parts.
Spray nozzle is blocked
Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water or a solvent like mineral spirits. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching. If it remains blocked, replace the nozzle or the can.
