Maintaining Hardware and Glass

  • Hardware: Following simple preventative maintenance steps will enhance the beauty and functionality of our hinges.
    1. Our hinges are greased at the factory for quiet, trouble-free operation. However, if squeaking occurs after installation we suggest the use of 3-In-1 Oil. Do not use lubricating sprays such as WD40.
    2. Never use an abrasive cleaner (such as Comet Cleanser or a similar product) on the hardware. Many of the components are coated with a clear lacquer that will be irreparably damaged if subjected to harsh, abrasive chemicals. Drying the hardware with a clean, soft towel on a daily basis is the best way to maintain it.
    3. If mineral dep[osits form mix a couple of drops of a mild liquid soap (such as Ivory or a similar product) into a cup of warm water. Clean the hardware using a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry.



  • Glass: It is of equal importance to maintain the glass. Neglected glass will accumulate water spots, which will eventually turn into mineral deposits.
    1. The bast way to keep glass clean is to squeegee the glass after each shower. A squeegee and good surface protector used together on a regular basis will assist in maintaining the original beauty of the glass.

By following these simple maintenance guidelines you will greatly extend the life of the hardware and the glass.
