FAQs

Are these hinges suitable for exterior doors?

No, these hinges are specifically designed for internal doors and are not treated for outdoor weather conditions.

What type of screws should I use for installation?

Use wood screws that are appropriate for the thickness of your door and frame material. Ensure they are long enough to provide a secure hold.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the weight capacity of these hinges?

While specific weight ratings are not provided, these are classified as 'Heavy Duty' due to their 2.5mm thickness, making them suitable for standard internal doors. For very heavy doors, consult a hardware professional.

Do these hinges come with screws?

The product description indicates they are 'Boxed', typically meaning the hinges themselves are included. Screws are usually sold separately.

Can I use these hinges on a fire door?

These hinges are intended for standard internal doors. Fire doors have specific safety requirements, and it's crucial to use hardware certified for fire door applications.

What is the warranty period for these hinges?

Please refer to the retailer or Loops brand for specific warranty information, as this is not detailed in the product description.

Troubleshooting

Door sticking or binding

Check if hinges are properly seated in mortises and screws are fully tightened. Ensure the door is not warped. Minor adjustments to hinge placement might be necessary.

Hinge squeaking

Apply a small amount of light lubricating oil (e.g., silicone spray or WD-40) to the hinge pin. Work the hinge back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Loose hinge

Tighten the screws holding the hinge to the door and frame. If screw holes are stripped, use longer screws or wood filler/dowels to create a secure anchor point.

Chrome finish tarnishing

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Ensure the area is dried thoroughly afterwards to prevent water spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the door and frame are properly prepared for mortise hinges.
  2. Position the hinges in their respective mortises on the door and frame, typically using a pencil to mark the outline.
  3. Secure the hinges using appropriately sized wood screws. For optimal security and longevity, pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended.
