4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Baldwin deadbolt.
4.1 Cleaning
Clean the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and electronic components. For the touchscreen, use a microfiber cloth to prevent scratches.
4.2 Battery Replacement
When the batteries are low, the deadbolt will typically provide an indicator (e.g., a flashing LED or audible alert). Replace all batteries simultaneously with new, high-quality alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types. Refer to the installation guide for specific battery compartment access.
4.3 Finish Care
Baldwin's Finishes™ are designed for durability. However, regular cleaning and avoiding harsh conditions will help maintain their appearance. For coastal environments, more frequent cleaning may be beneficial.
