Six hinged wardrobe maintenance tips

Hinged wardrobe doors are easy to use and never really go out of style. They get a lot of daily use, so a bit of simple care now and then will help them to keep working properly.

Check Them Regularly

Every few weeks, check the hinges, handles and screws to make sure nothing’s loose or out of line. Made to measure wardrobe doors, like the examples seen here, www.happy-doors.co.uk/shop/products/bedrooms, will fit perfectly into your bedroom.

Keep Moisture Away

Damp can cause damage to wardrobe doors, especially if they’re made from wood or laminate. Always wipe away spills quickly and avoid putting wet clothes straight inside. If your home is prone to damp or condensation, follow the guidelines to keep mould at bay

Clean With Care

Dust and fingerprints can be a problem but cleaning with a soft cloth with a little warm water once a week is usually enough. Avoid strong cleaners and dry the surface afterwards so water doesn’t sit on the finish.

Oil the Hinges

If you hear squeaking when you open the doors, the hinges probably need a bit of oil. A small amount every few months keeps them moving smoothly and helps prevent wear.

Tighten Screws

With constant opening and closing, screws can loosen over time. Tighten them now and then, including the handles, to keep everything aligned.

Don’t overload

Avoid hanging heavy items on door handles or overfilling one side of the wardrobe. Keeping the weight balanced will help prevent sagging and will keep the doors working well for years.
