Maintenance and Care
The Baader Stronghold Tangent Assembly is (almost) maintenance free. After years of intensive use, the lubricating
grease may solidify at the brackets and adjustment screws. If necessary, the grease may be changed. However, even
solidified grease will not have any significant affect on the function of the system.
The color anodizing of the Stronghold Tangent Assembly is as resistant to aging as possible using state-of-the-art
methods of electro-plating. The color, nevertheless, may change slightly if it is exposed to UV-radiation for years. UV-
radiation is exceptionally high if for example the Tangent Assembly is positioned in a window directed south in the same
setting for years, being heated by the sun.
Every shop that features a window display facing the sun experiences this effect. Leather shoes, textiles, etc. fade within
a short period of time – anodized metallic surfaces suffer the same effect. For this reason, most shop windows are fitted
with UV-absorbing film, to prevent the displayed goods from fading within a short while. Few private household windows
incorporate UV protection and we recommend that you protect the Baader Stronghold from prolonged exposure to UV.
