GENERAL CARE OF YOUR
FIRMADOOR SERIES 2 INDUSTRIAL DOOR
CLEANING
COLORBOND
®
& COLOURED STEEL FINISH
Your B&D
Firmadoor Series 2 Industrial Door has been pre-painted with a
silicone modifi ed polyester formulation, which is one of the best
paint fi lms commercially available today. However, all exposed
surfaces require some attention to guard against the premature
onset of corrosion and any other harmful atmospheric effects.
In our atmosphere there are harmful deposits that gather on
the door surface and if not removed regularly, will seriously
affect the appearance and life of the door.
Washing of the door with clean water and a cloth every 14 days
is recommended – particular care should be taken to clean
areas of the door not normally washed by rain.
LOCK
Your lock does not require special maintenance, however, if the
keyway becomes stiff, the application of powdered graphite is
recommended – do not grease or oil the lock.
WARNING!
Do not disassemble the lock mechanism and do
not allow paint to enter the lock keyway.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE REQUIRED
B&D recommends that you check the operation of your B&D
Firmadoor Series 2 Industrial Door at least every six months
(more regularly in extreme environments or frequent use).
The effort required to manually open and to manually close
the door should be about the same (if door has an automatic
opener, put into manual mode before testing door).
NOTE:
do not grease or oil the guides on doors fi tted with
Nylon running strips.
If the door is diffi cult to operate in either direction (up or down)
then check that the inside surfaces of the guides are clean and
free of obstructions.
If the door is still diffi cult to operate, then your door will need
a service to adjust the spring tension and possibly other
operational parts of the door.
This service should only be carried out by an experienced door
technician, using the correct tools.
If you have an automatic opener fi tted to your door, it is
particularly important that you ensure the optimum operation of
the door, otherwise you may reduce the effective life of the opener.
To keep your door running well, it is recommended that your
door be serviced, by an experienced door technician, every 12
months (more regularly in extreme environments or frequent
use), or earlier if required.
SPRING TENSION
It is natural for springs to lose tension over time. When spring
tension is adjusted or when your door is fi rst installed it is usual
to apply a little more tension than is required for balanced
operation, to allow for the normal “settling in” of the springs.
WARRANTY
The B&D Firmadoor Series 2 Industrial Door in residential
use is covered by a 12 month warranty for complete door and
parts, surface (excludes salt corrosion).
Warranty conditional on proper care as recommended above.
