The maintenance cycle of the hinge varies depending on the use environment and frequency. In general, it is recommended to perform a basic cleaning and lubrication maintenance on the hinge every 2 to 3 months. Here are some specific recommendations for hinge maintenance cycles:
Basic maintenance period
Cleaning and maintenance: Gently wipe the hinge surface with a clean soft cloth every 2 to 3 months to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using corrosive cleaners.
Lubrication maintenance: Also every 2 to 3 months, add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the hinge to keep it running smoothly. When applying lubricating oil, special attention should be paid to the moving parts and friction points of the hinge.
Maintenance cycle under special circumstances
In humid, dusty or corrosive gas environments, the maintenance cycle of the hinge may need to be shortened. For example, hinges in humid environments such as kitchens and bathrooms may require cleaning and lubrication maintenance once a month.
For hinges with a higher frequency of use, such as closet doors, cabinet doors, etc., the maintenance cycle can also be appropriately shortened according to the actual situation.
Check and adjust regularly
In addition to regular cleaning and lubrication maintenance, the tightness of the hinges and the wear of the moving parts should be checked regularly.
If the hinge is found to be loose, abnormal noise or uneven door panels, it should be adjusted or tightened in time.
Matters needing attention
When maintaining the hinge, avoid using too much force to avoid damaging the components or structure of the hinge.
If the hinge is seriously worn or damaged, the new hinge should be replaced in time to ensure the normal use and safety of the door or window.
