How do I clean and maintain the black finish?

What is the size of the ironmongery kit?

Troubleshooting
Hinges squeak
Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as WD-40 or silicone spray, to the hinge pins.
Latch is stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure screws are not overtightened. Lubricate the latch mechanism.
Brenton bolt does not slide smoothly
Verify that the bolt housing is aligned correctly with the strike plate. Clean any debris from the bolt channel and lubricate if necessary.
Rust spots appear on the surface
Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Dry thoroughly. If rust is persistent, a touch-up with black paint suitable for metal may be considered, though this is uncommon with the powder coating.
