Enhancing Durability and Performance
Three Essential Steps to Locker Maintenance
Follow these steps to keep your lockers in pristine condition:
1
Regular Cleaning
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away spills and marks. Clean the base and shelves with a vacuum or soft brush to remove dust and grit.
2
Lubricate Moving Parts
Apply a light spray of lubricant to hinges and locks every few months to ensure smooth operation. Wipe off any excess to prevent stains.
3
Touch Up Scratches Promptly
Address scratches immediately by gently sanding the area and applying touch-up paint to prevent corrosion.
4
Maintain Aesthetic and Structural Integrity
Following these steps will help maintain both the appearance and functionality of your lockers, ensuring they serve you well over time.
Regular Cleaning
To maintain your lockers in pristine condition, begin with regular cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away any spills or marks from both the interior and exterior surfaces. For dust and grit, employ a vacuum or a soft brush to clean the base and shelves, ensuring you avoid scratches. Remember, abrasive pads or harsh chemicals are not recommended; instead, rely on microfiber cloths and warm water to preserve the locker’s powder coat finish.
Lubricate Moving Parts
Ensure the longevity of your locker’s moving parts by applying a light spray of lubricant, such as WD-40, to the hinges and locks every few months. This maintenance step will keep the doors operating smoothly and quietly. Be sure to wipe off any excess lubricant immediately to prevent oil stains on the locker surfaces.
Touch Up Scratches Promptly
Address minor scuffs and scratches as soon as they appear. Begin by gently sanding the affected area, then apply a matching touch-up paint to restore the locker’s appearance. Untreated scratches can expose the metal underneath, leading to corrosion and compromising both the locker’s look and structural integrity.
Conclusion
By following these straightforward maintenance steps, your Premier Lockers will continue to look impressive and function reliably for many years. Regular attention to cleaning, lubrication, and scratch repair will ensure your investment remains protected.
