How to Clean and Maintain your Security Door

October 16, 2025

I've got my brand new security door!

 

Now how do I clean and maintain it?

 

New security doors look fantastic, and can really modernise the look of your home. Most of all though, is the feeling of increased security, and peace of mind that a new Security Door brings.

 

To keep the great look going, there are some simple things that you can do to maintain your new Security Door. If you notice dust, periodically wipe down your door with a damp microfibre cloth.

 

Every so often, get a bucket of warm soapy water, and wash your door down with some bubbles. At Screen Factory, we recommend using a liquid soap such as dishwashing liquid, or carwash soap.

 

Things that you probably already have on hand. Hose your door down when finished. If you open the door completely, and hold it open with the door closer, you can hose your door without risk of water splashing around the doorway into your home.

In addition, if your hinges or lock mechanism ever become squeaky or stiff, spray them with silicon spray from your hardware shop.

 

This will keep everything moving smoothly, and keep your door in good operating order for years to come.
