Unlock these handy tips for doorknob maintenance and lock changes.

Few items in the home endure as much wear and tear as doorknobs. We’ve gathered some helpful pointers to aid you in keeping them in mint condition - for the times when you haven’t locked yourself out (which we hope isn’t often).

• Apply and reapply the wax on door handles frequently
• Think with the future in mind - whether it's you, or locksmith services, install lever handles which will be easy to use in the future.
• Adjust and centre the spindle of older door knobs (so that it is equally positioned between both sides).
• Reposition the knobs so they are snugly secured against the door.
• When tightening the screw, make sure the size of the screw driver and the set screw align.
• Maintain the finish by constantly applying the protective lacquered finish.
