FAQs
Are these hinges suitable for exterior doors?
These hinges are primarily designed for interior doors, kitchen cupboards, and cabinets. While made of stainless steel, they may not offer the same level of weather resistance required for exterior applications.
What is the maximum door thickness recommended?
The product information does not specify a maximum door thickness. However, given the 4-inch size and load capacity, they are generally suitable for standard interior doors (1 3/8" to 1 3/4" thick).
Do I need special tools for installation?
Basic tools are required, including a drill, drill bits for pilot holes, a screwdriver, and a measuring tape. No specialized tools are typically needed.
Can I paint or finish these hinges?
Painting or finishing these hinges is not recommended, as it may affect their smooth operation and the durability of the finish. The black finish is designed for longevity.
How many hinges are included in a pack?
Each pack contains two (2) hinges and sixteen (16) steel screws.
What is the weight capacity per hinge?
The load capacity is rated for 100kg for a pair (2 pieces) of hinges.
What makes these hinges 'invisible'?
The 'invisible' or 'butterfly' design means the hinge is concealed within the door and frame when closed, providing a clean, flush look without any visible hardware on the door surface.
Troubleshooting
Hinge squeaks or is noisy
Ensure the bearing balls are clean and free of debris. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the bearing mechanism if necessary.
Door is not closing properly or is misaligned
Check that all screws are tightened securely. Re-align the hinges on the door and frame, ensuring they are perfectly plumb and level. Verify the door is not warped.
Hinges feel loose after installation
Ensure pilot holes were drilled appropriately. If the wood is soft or the holes are slightly oversized, consider using slightly longer or thicker screws, or wood filler to secure the original screws.
Rust spots appearing on the surface
While made of 304 stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or corrosive environments can cause minor surface discoloration. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Ensure the area is dry.
