Patio doors add greatly to your home’s overall aesthetic, while seamlessly connecting your interior spaces with the outdoors. But their constant exposure to the elements allow for some issues to develop. To ensure your doors are always in good shape, make sure to put them at the top of your spring maintenance list. Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco, leading source of the highest quality replacement windows and doors in the area, shares some handy tips.
1. Make sure the hardware and locking system is in good condition. Patio doors should be easy to operate and lock, and the hardware they have helps ensure this. When the door latch or locking system is not working the way it should, have it replaced immediately. This way, you can maintain your home’s safety and security.
2. Check the track of your sliding patio doors. You got to love sliding patio doors–they come with slim frames and expansive glass that can maximize your home’s viewing area. Given their smooth appearance, it just goes to show that they should operate as smoothly as well. For this reason, inspect the track of your sliding patio doors. Is it keeping the door on track? Does it allow for effortless sliding performance? If you can, clear the track of debris buildup to prevent sticking or jamming. You can also consult a trusted replacement windows and doors expert like Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco for the necessary solution.
3. Wipe down the glass and frames on both sides of the door. Patio doors are an instant focal point in your home. That’s why you should keep their frames clean and their glass sparkling. Use a mild cleaning solution–preferably in a spray bottle to keep mess to a minimum–and a clean cloth to wipe the doors clean and maintain their good looks.
