Protect Against Salt Damage
In Michigan winters, salt is essential for preventing slips and falls on the sidewalk, but it can severely damage metal doors. Prolonged exposure to salt can corrode door frames and pivot hinges, leading to costly repairs or replacements. To prevent this, you should:
- Clear excess salt from entryways after snowfall.
- Perform a thorough cleaning at the end of winter to remove residual salt.
Adjust and Maintain Door Closers
Door closers endure heavy usage and require regular attention. Here are three steps to maintain your door closers:
- Ensure your door closer is adjusted correctly, so it closes within 5-7 seconds. Improper adjustment can lead to high winds breaking the door and glass.
- Replace the closer if you notice oil leakage, as this indicates failure.
- Invest in high-quality closers suited for your door's needs to avoid frequent replacements.
