    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. To maintain the smoothness in usage:<\/strong>

    \u2022 Have you ever had trouble with a stiff window and squeaky door? It is because of friction, steel doors require lubrication, just like the chain of a bicycle.
    \u2022 With a use of silicone spray or light machine oil will help the doors and windows slide easily.
    \u2022 It is a point not to overdo it because either lubrication or moisture will create some issue, so it is always best to wipe the excess using a dry cloth.
    \u2022 In the case of smooth sliding, you need to have a clear check every 3 to 6 months. It helps to maintain steel doors and windows fit.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Spot and fix problems early<\/strong>

    Small issues must be sorted out in the initial stage itself because they can turn into a big headache later. Imagine having to replace your doors and windows every few years, it would be incredibly frustrating and costly.
    There are a few tips to eradicate a few issues in the early stages.
    \u2022 Run your hands roughly to spot any bending over the surface.
    \u2022 Prevent the moisture.
    \u2022 Tighten the hinges, handles and screws
    \u2022 Repaint any deep scratches to maintain the appeal.
    \u2022 Replace damaged weatherstripping to prevent drafts, which can simultaneously lower the cost.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Seasonal maintenance required:<\/strong>

    \u2022 Wipe the surface of doors after a heavy fog or rain
    \u2022 Pay extra attention to the corners, especially in the monsoon season, can save the doors and windows from rusting.
    Summer season<\/strong>
    \u2022 Sunlight can make the paint fade.
    \u2022 Exposure to intense heat can cause peeling, but this can be prevented with a UV-protective coating. This polish acts as a sunscreen for steel doors.
    \u2022 If you are planning to give a touch-up to doors and windows, the best time is either early morning or evening.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
