FAQs
What are the dimensions of each hinge?
Each hinge measures 192 x 32 x 50 mm.
How many hinges come in the package?
The set includes 12 individual hinges.
Are these hinges suitable for outdoor use?
They are designed with a protective coating, but for longevity, they are best suited for indoor environments like workshops, offices, or homes.
Can I use these for side-opening doors?
No, these are specifically designed as lid support hinges for upward-opening or top-access lids.
Is the mounting hardware included?
Please check the contents of your specific package, as some sets may require additional standard wood screws depending on your mounting surface.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not stay open
Check if the weight of the lid exceeds the load capacity of the hinge or ensure the hinge is mounted at the correct angle.
Hinge squeaks during operation
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spring and pivot points.
Lid closes too quickly
Verify that you have used the appropriate number of hinges for the weight of the lid; adding another hinge may increase support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill, screwdriver, and a measuring tape to ensure accurate placement. Always verify that the mounting surface can support the mechanical stress of the spring action. These hinges are finished with a protective coating, which requires minimal maintenance; simply wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can strip the protective finish and lead to potential oxidation. Check the mounting screws periodically to ensure they remain tight, as vibration from frequent opening and closing can loosen hardware over time.
