  • Tarnish or excessive wear on soft finishes such as brass or bronze as deterioration is possible under some climatic conditions, frequency of use or other factors

Soft Finishes:

  1. It is important to note that soft finishes will age (deteriorate). The speed of aging will depend on the climatic location and the amount of use.
  2. Tarnishing is a fact of soft finishes. The speed of tarnishing will depend on the climatic location and the amount of use.
  3. All soft finishes are easily damaged by chemicals such as cleaning solvents, glass clears, brick acid and many other chemicals. Use of these chemicals will damage the finish.
  4. Due to the above points Doric Products assumes no liability under this warranty for aging or damage to soft finishes.

Important Coastal Information

Coastal environment is extremely harsh on finish and materials. Doric Products strongly recommends that any building situated within 5 kilometers of the coast or affected by direct coastal breeze, should only use Polesium™, aluminium or 316 grade stainless steel hardware. Doric Products recommends that all its products exposed to harsh climatic conditions should be washed and cleaned every month with a mild detergent to stop salt build up and all cylinders should be lubricated with a suitable graphite powder as Doric Products will not replace hardware that is in a corrosive environment.

On discovery of any defect in goods, the customer must immediately notify Doric Products in writing of such defect. The customer must not carry out any remedial work to allegedly defective goods without first obtaining the written consent of the company to do so.
