DJB350Z Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Hey, My doors didn't come with latches so I picked up a pair from a breakers but they need attention. They look well sealed so can I safely submerge them in something and if so, what? Or, can I somehow disassemble them? Also, once clean, do the internals need lubricating? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed.h Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 If they were mine, I'd first get what grease I could with sprayed solvent, then ultrasonic bath in hot soapy water. Dry with compressed air. If there is rust, don't use acids--they will attack what zinc plating remains. Use a chelate like Evaporust. You can replate the exterior if you are set up for it. Dry again, and lubricate.
