Troubleshooting
Hinge does not close quietly (slams shut)
Verify that the door panel thickness is within the 14-19mm range. Ensure the hinge is correctly aligned and securely fastened. The damping mechanism may require adjustment if present on your specific model, or it may be malfunctioning.
Door sags or feels loose
Confirm that the total weight of the door does not exceed the hinge's capacity (15kg per hinge). Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely into the door and frame. If the issue persists, consider using additional hinges or checking for structural integrity of the cabinet.
Hinge is difficult to install
Ensure you are using the correct placement and alignment for the hinge. Pre-drilling pilot holes can ease screw insertion and prevent wood damage. Confirm the door panel thickness meets the specified requirements.
Corrosion or rust appears on the hinge
While constructed for resistance, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals can cause damage. Clean the hinge with a soft cloth. For minor spots, a mild metal polish may be used cautiously. Ensure the environment is not excessively humid.
