Product Information

Full details

The Betley Butterfly Rising Butt Hinges are designed for homeowners and contractors looking to resolve clearance issues with interior doors, specifically those struggling with high-pile carpets or uneven flooring. These hinges provide a seamless solution by automatically lifting the door as it swings open, preventing scraping and damage. While these hinges offer significant functional benefits, it is important to note that they are specifically engineered for right-handed configurations and require precise installation to ensure the lifting mechanism functions correctly.

FAQs

Are these hinges compatible with all door weights?

These are designed for standard residential interior doors. They are not recommended for heavy external doors or solid hardwood entrance doors.

Can I use these for left-handed doors?

No, this specific model is designed for right-handed applications only. Please look for the left-handed version in the Betley Butterfly range.

Do I need to replace my existing door frame?

Typically, no. As long as your existing cutouts match the 100mm hinge size, these should be a direct replacement.

How high will the door rise?

The rise is determined by the specific cam profile of the hinge, typically providing enough lift to clear standard carpet depths of 5-10mm.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a screwdriver (or drill driver with low torque), a chisel for adjusting mortises if necessary, and a measuring tape.

Can these hinges be painted?

We recommend against painting the hinges as it can interfere with the precision movement of the rising cam mechanism.

Troubleshooting

The door is not lifting as expected.

Verify that the hinges are installed on the correct side (right-handed) and that the hinge pins are fully seated.

The door binds during the opening motion.

Check that the door is hung level and that the hinge mortises are deep enough to allow the hinge plates to sit flush against the frame.

Hinges making a squeaking noise.

Apply a small amount of machine oil or silicone lubricant to the hinge pin and the internal cam mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these 100mm hinges, first remove your existing hardware and check that your current mortise cutouts align with the 100mm size. Because these are rising butt hinges, they must be mounted on the correct side; confirm your door is right-handed before starting installation. Secure the hinges with appropriate wood screws, ensuring that the lifting cams are properly aligned. For maintenance, keep the hinge pins lightly lubricated with a silicone-based spray to ensure the rising motion remains smooth over time. Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight, as the vertical movement can exert extra pressure on the frame screws.
