How to Maintain Aluminium Doors for Long-Term Performance

Introduction:
Aluminium doors are a smart investment for commercial buildings — strong, corrosion-resistant, and low maintenance. But like any building element, they require routine care to operate at their best.

Common Issues with Poor Maintenance:

  • Misalignment and sticking
  • Worn-out hinges or closers
  • Reduced thermal or acoustic performance
  • Water ingress

Recommended Maintenance Schedule:

  • Monthly visual inspection for surface damage, dirt build-up, and hardware issues
  • Quarterly lubrication of hinges, locks, and closers
  • Annual professional servicing to check frame integrity, seals, and regulatory compliance

Our Approach at Dortech Maintenance:
We provide nationwide maintenance contracts tailored to the building type and usage frequency. Our teams are trained in PAS 24 standards and work with both Dortech-manufactured and third-party aluminium doors.

Conclusion:
Regular maintenance doesn’t just prevent costly repairs — it ensures doors meet building regulations and continue to deliver safety, energy efficiency, and user comfort.
