Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your lock.

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces of the lock and front plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish of the alloy steel and stainless steel components.
