Door Hardware Lubrication





The mechanical components of the door are lubricated during assembly. If additional lubrication is required to any door hardware mechanism, lubricate with Lubriplate Spray-Lube A GM P/N 1052349 or Canadian P/N 992723, Lubriplate Auto-Lube A GM P/N 1052196 or Canadian P/N 5264008, or equivalent. Lubricate door hinge pins and rollers at normal service intervals with SAE 30-weight engine oil. Do not lubricate the hinge roller in order to hold open link contacting surfaces as this may prevent the roller from rolling properly.
