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.

Single Locks are great, but triple locks are better....

What is a triple-lock, and Why would I need one on my new Security Door? Single lock security doors are standard issue, and they're great. The sense of security and peace of mind that comes from having a locked security door, is the very thing that makes them worthwhile. A single lock door has one locking mechanism, in the centre where the handle is. If an invader was seriously attempting to get through your door, single locks can potentially allow for a crowbar or other implement to prise the door from the frame at either the bottom or the top of the door. No one wants Triple locks doors however, are next level when it comes to securing your home. Triple lock doors have three locking points, in the centre, then another above the handle, and another below the handle. The three locking points operate seamlessly from one key lock, and absolutely provide superior security for your home and family. You can sleep well when you have a triple-lock security door securing your home.
