Door Hardware Lubrication Description

The mechanical components of the door assembly are lubricated during assembly. If additional lubrication is required, use the following lubricants: All body key lock cylinders should be lubricated with Multi-Purpose Lubricant part number 12345120 or Synthetic S A E 5W30 engine oil. Door hinge pins and rollers should be lubricated at normal service intervals with 30 weight engine oil. Do not lubricate hinge roller to hold-open link contacting surfaces as this may prevent the roller from rolling properly. The remainder of the door hardware mechanisms except lock assemblies can be lubricated with part number 1052349, Lubriplate Spray-lube "A" or equivalent. Lock assemblies can be lubricated with part number 1052196, Lubriplate Auto-lube "A" or equivalent.
