Take special care not to damage the coating when cleaning coated or specialized glass – follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Doors sticking or jamming: This could be due to dirt, lack of lubrication or misalignment. Clean the locks and lubricate with graphite powder. If the lock is uneven it will jam. If essential, re-align the door.
Loose glazing rubber: Age and exposure to sunlight will get smaller glazing rubber causing it to pull out at the corners or shrink back leaving gaps.
Corroded hinges: This is caused by salt spray, lack of cleaning, or the incorrect type of metal being used. Clean and oil the hinge.
Water damage: Water damage around windows can be caused by compression or leaks. Try to reduce the quantity of condensation in your home.
