Your greenteQ Orion profile cylinder lock is designed with durability, performance, and security in mind. But like any high-quality mechanism, it needs a little regular attention to keep it working at its best.
We’ll guide you through the essential care steps you need to take, explain why they’re important, and help you protect both your home and your lock’s guarantee.
Why Lubrication Matters
Lubricating your Orion cylinder lock isn’t just about keeping things smooth; it’s also essential for preserving the lock’s performance and validating your warranty. A well-lubricated lock operates effortlessly, preventing common issues like:
- Stiff key turning
- Seizing up
- Trapped keys
- Complete lock failure
Neglect or improper lubrication can quickly turn a dependable lock into a frustrating problem and may even leave your door inoperable.
How Often Should You Lubricate?
To maintain smooth operation and ensure your greenteQ proteQ10 guarantee remains valid, your Orion cylinder lock must be lubricated every 6 months.
Choosing the Right Lubricant
Not all lubricants are created equal. For your Orion lock, you must use a specialist dry lubricant that’s made specifically for profile cylinder locks.
We recommend using greenteQ Dry Lube, which comes in a convenient 50ml bottle. It’s been specially formulated for the job and includes clear instructions on how to apply it properly. To order, contact us and quote item code 2QCY5050.
Never use products like WD-40, GT85, or graphite-based lubricants in your profile cylinder lock. These can damage the lock mechanism and void your guarantee.
Protect Your Investment
The greenteQ Orion cylinder isn’t just another lock, it comes with valuable peace of mind, including:
- A 10-year performance warranty
- The 10-year proteQ10 snap guarantee
- Access to the Key Security Scheme, which helps prevent unauthorised key cutting
