Cleaning your Rockdoor

Cleaning your Rockdoor couldn’t be easier, all you need to do is occasionally wipe it down with warm soapy water (avoiding stainless steel accessories such as letter plates or handles). We recommend avoiding solvent-based or abrasive cleaners on the door skin as this can damage the door’s finish.

Looking after your stainless steel

To keep your stainless steel furniture looking brand new, it’s important to look after them by giving them a wipe with a clean, dry cloth regularly. You can also periodically clean them with a damp cloth, however, it’s important to remember to dry the area thoroughly!

You can also use stainless steel cleaners, such as Blu Stainless Steel Renovation Cleaner occasionally to really bring that shine through. Doing this excessively could cause damage to the areas – so it is important you do this no more than every couple of months.

Ensuring your Rockdoor continues to perform

All of our doors should be installed in accordance with our 5-star installation guidelines, something that all Rockdoor Trusted Installers are trained to follow – which is why we always recommend choosing an installer from our website.

Following the 5-star Installation Guide ensures the door mechanisms operate as they should, meaning all you will need to do, is once a month apply a silicone-based lubricant spray, to the centre latch and striker plate and every three months to the cylinder, hook locks, lock keeps and hinges.
