This guide provides comprehensive insights into the proper maintenance and operation of your patio and French door, ensuring longevity and optimal performance all year round.
SRJ Windows offers a range of patio and French doors, each designed for ease of use, security, and thermal efficiency.
Sliding Patio Doors
These doors operate by sliding along a track, typically with one movable panel and one fixed pane. They are excellent for saving space while offering a wide, unobstructed view of the outdoors as well as a controllable ventilation system.
French Doors
These hinged doors open outward or inward from the centre. French doors are ideal for adding a traditional charm to your home while providing a wide opening for air and light.
Operating a sliding patio door from SRJ Windows is straightforward:
Locate the lock, usually placed on the door’s handle. Turn the key to unlock.
Gently grasp the handle and slide the door open along the track.
Pull the door along the track towards the frame until it is fully closed.
Secure the door by turning the key or thumb turn to the locked position.
Even the highest quality patio doors can encounter issues. Here are a few common problems and their quick fixes:
Clean the track and lubricate with 3 in 1 oil to ensure smooth operation.
Check the seals around the door. If they’re worn out, replace them to maintain energy efficiency.
If the door is hard to lock, adjust the rollers or hinges. Sometimes, professional alignment may be necessary.
Ensure no debris or dirt is obstructing the door’s path.
Always use the door’s handle when opening or closing to prevent damage to the glass.
Clean the glass and frame regularly with a mild detergent.
Clear the track of debris and lubricate regularly.
Regularly inspect the door for any signs of wear and tear.
If you encounter any complex issues such as shattered glass, sealant failures, or structural problems with your patio door, it is advisable to call a technician. Attempting DIY repairs on such issues might lead to further damage or void warranties.
Ensuring your patio door operates smoothly enhances not only the functionality of your home but also its aesthetic appeal and security.
