Maintenance

Lever handles requires a mechanical check annually to ensure a smooth operation and that the lever handle smoothly returns to the horizontal position. A fixation check is periodically needed to ensure that there is no tolerance in the fixings position otherwise action is needed.

Pull handles, bolts, door stops, signs and indicators requires a fixation check periodically to ensure that there is no tolerance in the fixings position otherwise action is needed.

Door closers require a mechanical check annually and should be carried out in conjunction with checks on lever furniture. A fixation check is periodically needed to ensure that there is no tolerance in the fixings position otherwise action is needed.

Locks should not require lubrication during their lifetime; however, a light oil or WD40 can help in dusty environments.

Cylinders should not require lubrication during their lifetime; however, a small application of flaked graphite may be used in the keyway.

Failure to carry out these checks will invalidate the certification. At monthly intervals check correct functioning of the unit as part of the standing periodic fire test procedures.
