7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the long-term performance of your pocket door hardware.
- Cleaning: Wipe the aluminum track and visible hardware components with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant to the track and hanger wheels to maintain smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
- Inspection: Annually inspect all mounting screws and hardware connections to ensure they are secure. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Soft-Close Mechanism: Check the soft-close actuators for proper engagement and adjustment. If the door is not closing or opening smoothly, re-adjust the actuators as needed.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your JUBEST Pocket Door Hardware, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
