DOORS, EXTRUSIONS, WINDOWS & VENTS
These components have putty tape between the component and the wall surface. Portions
of these items may have a cap seal added as a secondary seal. Inspect these seals at least
once per year. Both putty tape and cap seals can become damaged by U.V. exposure, air
pollution, freezing temperatures and exposure to the elements. Therefore, they need to be
resealed from time to time.
Locks on entrance and baggage doors need biannual lubrication.
Silicone lubricant is recommended. Conditions such as rain, salt, dust
and pollution may increase the maintenance needs.
Inspect and seal the door frame threshold corners one time each year.
Refer to Fig. 34which indicates the referenced location.
Entrance Door
The entrance door installed in your vehicle is the result of years of design and testing to
provide you, the homeowner, with the most carefree and functional product available.
To keep your door operating in the manner, in which it was designed and delivered to you,
there is some routine maintenance items that should be handled on a regular basis.
•
Strike Plate Adjustment
- The door in your trailer was installed and adjusted in a
factory setting and the setting of the striker plate may change over the course of time
and road conditions and that setting may need to be changed or adjusted to insure that
your door operates as smoothly and efficiently as it should. To adjust the strike plate,
you will need to loosen the two Phillips head screws holding the strike plate to the
jamb system. Move the plate in or out as needed to obtain a proper seal and closing
force and retighten the screws.
Caution: If you loosen the screws too far the backer plate will release and drop
down into the doorjamb. Should this happen, replace the short screws with a screw
that is long enough to go through the jamb system and into the framework of the
sidewall.
•
Lever Latch
- The lever latch on your screen door holds the door closed while the
exterior door is open. The adjustment if necessary is very simple by loosening the
screws on the strike plate and moving the strike plate to the desired position. The
screen door will show some resistance to closing fully due to the compression of the
seals on the frame. This resistance is necessary to achieve proper compression of
these seals and is not a defect in the door operation. Do not adjust the strike plate
outward to overcome this resistance or you will not allow the door to seal properly.
•
Locks
- The key cylinder in your locks need to be lubricated on an annual basis or as
needed. Always use powdered graphite never a petroleum product. The petroleum
product will gum up the cylinder and cause it to not operate smoothly. Apply a light
coating of white lithium grease to the face of the lock bolt to obtain a smooth closing.
•
Hinges
- The hinges on your door should be lubricated annually or as needed with
any high quality spray lubricant.
•
Fiberglass Skin
- To maintain good appearance and long service life, Philips door
skin panels should be washed and cleaned periodically. Cleaning removes the
accumulation of dust and dirt that can combine with sunlight and wind to attack
exposed surfaces both chemically and abrasively.
