How should I clean the black antique finish?

Is this stay suitable for external doors?

Troubleshooting
Stay is stiff or difficult to move.
Check that no paint or debris is obstructing the joint. Ensure the screws are not overtightened, which can bind the mechanism. Lightly lubricate the pivot point if necessary.
Stay does not lock securely in position.
Verify that the keep is correctly aligned with the stay arm. Adjust the position of the keep or ensure the stay arm is fully extended into its locking position.
Screws do not tighten properly.
Ensure you are using the correct size pilot hole for the screws in your window frame or sash. If the wood is damaged, you may need to use a slightly larger screw or repair the hole.
