While door hardware are designed for durability, most of door hardware lose efficacy because of improper maintenance.For example, zinc alloy door handles in coastal areas may be oxidized in a year; The wear degree of lock tongue is greater in places with large flow of people such as hotels and hospitals. As a 17 year manufacturer of door hardware, YALIS sincerely recommends three strategies that can maximize the service life of door hardware after scientific experiments.
Material classification curing method

Fatal weakness |
Exclusive maintenance plan |
304 stainless steel |
Chloride ion corrosion |
Wipe with neutral detergent every month, and do not use chlorine containing disinfectant |
|
Zinc Alloy |
Oxidation in humid environment |
Antirust wax shall be sprayed quarterly, and the joints shall be filled with silica gel for sealing |
|
Brass |
|
Vulcanization blackening
|
Polish with lemon juice+baking soda cream, and keep the natural coating |
Engineering Plastics |

Apply UV protective agent every six months to avoid direct sunlight |
5-step scientific cleaning process
1. Power off protection: smart handle turns off the power first (short circuit prevention)
2. Dry brush for dust removal: use a bristle brush to remove the accumulated dust at the hinge gap.
3. Dissolve oil stain: spray precision electronic cleaner (without damaging the coating)
4. Deep lubrication:
Hinge shaft: syringe precisely injects lithium grease
Lock cylinder: graphite powder is poured vertically, and the rotating key is evenly distributed
5. Anti corrosion treatment: cotton swab coated with automotive grade coating agent (forming a hydrophobic layer
Coping strategies for special environment
1. coastal high humidity area
Annual mandatory:
Replace magnesium sacrificial anode block (adsorption salt spray corrosion)
Spray marine grade antirust paint (such as rust oleum)
2. extremely cold area
Use -40 ℃ low temperature grease
Installation of antifreeze door suction: avoid positioning failure caused by icing
3. high frequency commercial scenarios
Hospital/hotel:
Enable the IOT monitoring system to give real-time warning of worn parts
Adopt quick disassembly structure design, and complete the replacement of spare parts in 10 minutes
