Door Removal Tips

• If a door is difficult to remove, the issue might be what’s around the door and not the door itself. Removing the valve blind, surround, or trim kit might give you the extra space to remove the door easily. 
• Double check the buckles. Sometimes the buckle may appear to swing free when its actually still loosely clamped to the door. 

Door Cleaning Tips

• Cleaning the glass is like waxing a car – work the cleaner into the glass and let it dry, then polish or buff the cleaner off.      
• A polishing pad used on a cordless drill can help speed along the process and produces better results.
