Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these hinges, first measure and mark your pilot holes to ensure the hinges are perfectly level. Use appropriate wood screws (not included) that match the countersunk holes in the strap. Since these hinges are zinc-plated, they are not designed for saltwater or extremely high-humidity environments. To maintain their longevity, wipe them down with a clean, dry cloth periodically to remove dust or debris. If the hinge begins to squeak over time, a small drop of lightweight silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation.
