Why Lock Maintenance Is Important
A high quality lock is designed to provide years of reliable performance, but regular maintenance is essential to ensure it continues operating effectively. Proper care of your greenteQ Orion cylinder lock not only helps maintain smooth functionality but also supports the validity of your proteQ10 Guarantee.
How Often Should You Maintain Your Lock?
The Orion cylinder should be lubricated every six months using a specialist dry lubricant designed specifically for profile cylinder locks. This simple maintenance routine helps prevent operational issues and keeps the lock functioning as intended.
Choosing the Correct Lubricant
Using the right lubricant is essential. Specialist dry lubricants are recommended because they are formulated for cylinder locks. Products containing graphite, as well as lubricants such as WD40, should not be used as they may affect lock performance and could invalidate the guarantee.
What Happens If Maintenance Is Ignored?
Without regular lubrication, locks can become difficult to operate. Keys may become stiff when turning, locks may seize, and in some cases keys can become trapped in the cylinder. Routine maintenance helps avoid these issues and extends the lifespan of the lock.
Maintaining Long Term Security
The greenteQ Orion cylinder is designed to provide exceptional protection against modern burglary methods, including lock snapping. By combining advanced security technology with regular maintenance, homeowners can maximise both performance and security for years to come.
A well maintained lock delivers reliable protection and helps ensure your warranty remains active. Contact us to know more about caring for your greenteQ Orion cylinder and maintaining the full benefits of the proteQ10 Guarantee.
