FAQs
What type of doors are these hinges suitable for?
These hinges are designed for interior wooden doors only.
Do I need to buy screws separately?
No, fixings are supplied with the hinges for quick and simple installation.
Can these hinges be used for exterior doors?
No, these hinges are specifically for interior use and are not suitable for exterior doors or damp environments.
How do I clean the hinges?
Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is the finish of these hinges?
They have a brass effect finish, giving a classic gold appearance.
Are these hinges heavy-duty?
They are designed for standard interior doors and are not typically considered heavy-duty for very large or heavy doors.
Troubleshooting
Door is stiff or doesn't close properly.
Check that the hinges are aligned correctly and not binding. Ensure all fixings are tightened, but not overtightened, which could warp the hinge. Clean any debris from the hinge mechanism.
Hinge squeaks during operation.
Apply a small amount of lubricating oil (like WD-40 or a silicone-based lubricant) to the hinge pin and work the door back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Screws do not tighten securely.
If the screw holes in the wood are stripped, you can use a slightly larger screw of the same type, or fill the hole with wood filler or a wooden dowel and glue before re-drilling a pilot hole for the original screw.
