GDO Pull Handles S/S Care and Maintenance
GDO garage doors come with pull handles to the front panel as standard.
The pull handles are made using grade 304 Stainless steel for use externally and internally in heavily sanitised areas such as kitchens and washrooms. 
Like all steel, failure to keep the item clean can cause surface blemishes and what looks like a major product failure and rusting.
You will often find marks appearing in the winter when the roads have been gritted, salt on the surface are all steel products arch enemy.
If your pull bars develop small blemished areas during December, January and February in particular then you should wash them off using cold water and washing up liquid, you can use a cream cleaner like CIF rubbed lightly to remove the blemishes.
If you have them appear it means you have salt on the surface and need to increase the frequency of the door washdown.
Please remember all stainless steel can blemish even knives and forks in a dishwasher because salt is used as a scrubbing agent, wiping blemishes off with a cloth is standard practice and you should treat the door bars the same, clean and wipe regularly. 
If you live close to the sea or estuary you should apply a light oil after washing once a month to keep the item clean and fresh. 

All our GDO steel side hinged doors are ordered by the OVERALL Width and OVERALL Height INCLUDING the outer steel fixing frame, which is factory fitted as standard to all doors. Choose your Width first and then the Height second, followed by the options to configure your new doors. If you cannot find a suitable size in the standard sizes please look at our purpose made size models.

If you require side hinged doors without this frame to fit into an existing timber frame, please call or email us and we can provide details and order for you.

Always remember to allow fitting tolerances in your sizes as the doors will be manufactured to the exact sizes as ordered in our shop. Most manufacturers recommend a minimum of 10mm is taken off the smallest structural width dimension and 5-10mm off the floor to lintel height dimension. As these are standard door sizes, you might have to work with larger tolerances for replacing existing doors and utilise packers and trims to accommodate smaller size doors.

Our GDO STANDARD door sizes are based on many years of ‘standard’ UK doors sizes being the only sizes available and fitted in the UK. The Order Code as shown in the table below is an imperial size reference to the standard garage door sizes sold over many years by various manufacturers, using the internal frame dimensions for pricing and ordering. These standard sizes cover many of the most popular single garage door sizes.
