What this sheet is for
Keep hinges, locks and seals working by caring for each window and door on a record. A stiff handle or a blocked drainage slot is noted the first time it shows.
Who it is for
Homeowners and landlords with uPVC, timber or aluminium windows and doors, and anyone whose guarantee asks for regular care.
How to use it
- Give each window and door a short reference and list it once, with its type, maker and the lubricant the maker specifies.
- On each care round, fill a line per opening and tick what was done.
- Note seal condition, blocked drainage slots and anything that does not open or lock smoothly.
- Write faults in full with who will look at them.
What is on the sheet

Page 1
Printed under the title: Each window and door listed once with the lubricant its maker specifies, then every round of cleaning, lubricating, tightening and seal checks, opening by opening, on the back.
Each maker's lubricant. No lubricant or interval is named here. Makers specify different products for different hardware, and the wrong one can gather grit or harm the seals. Write each maker's choice in the register, and look up the care instructions for that system before you start.

Questions
Which lubricant should I use?
The one the window or door maker specifies for that hardware: some call for a dry lubricant, others for a light oil or grease, and the wrong one can collect grit or harm the seals. The register has a column to write it in once.
What are drainage slots?
Small slots low down in many window and door frames that let rain that gets into the frame run back out. Blocked ones can leave water sitting in the frame, so the care record has a column for them.
