Troubleshooting
Hinge is stiff or difficult to open/close
Ensure screws are not overtightened, which can bind the hinge. Check for any debris caught in the bearing mechanism. Verify the door is properly aligned and not sagging.
Hinge is squeaking
Although designed for mute operation, extreme conditions might require a tiny drop of appropriate lubricant on the bearing points. Ensure the bearing balls are clean and free of debris.
Door does not hang straight
Re-check the alignment during installation. Loosen the screws slightly, adjust the hinge position, and re-tighten. Ensure the mounting surfaces are perfectly flat.
Screws do not grip properly
If mounting into softer wood, the provided screws might be too large. Consider using wood filler to repair the hole and re-drilling a pilot hole, or use appropriately sized screws for your material.
