The useful decision

Simple inspection and cleaning can preserve operation and make service questions easier to diagnose.

01

Keep paths clear

Remove debris from tracks and drainage paths without modifying or sealing intended weep locations.

02

Use gentle methods

Use mild cleaning methods compatible with glass, vinyl, aluminum, finishes, gaskets and hardware. Avoid abrasives and unapproved solvents.

03

Document concerns

Record product location, photographs, installation date and symptoms before requesting service. Follow the controlling care and warranty terms.

Project checklist

  • Vacuum loose debris before washing tracks.
  • Keep designed weep and drainage paths open.
  • Operate locks and moving panels gently through a full cycle.
  • Document unusual resistance, leakage or glass fogging.

Avoid assumptions

Questions worth answering

  1. Is the symptom seasonal or constant?
  2. Does it affect one unit or several?
  3. Was any sealant, hardware or glazing recently changed?
