Product Information
Full details
The Betley Butterfly flush hurl hinges are ideal for homeowners, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts looking for reliable hardware for cupboards, cabinets, gates, and shed doors. These 100mm hinges provide smooth operation and precise alignment for timber projects, though their zinc-plated finish is best suited for indoor or sheltered outdoor environments rather than harsh, coastal weather conditions.

FAQs
Can these hinges be used outdoors?
Yes, they are suitable for garden sheds and side gates, though they should be kept in sheltered areas to preserve the zinc finish.
Do these hinges come with screws?
This product listing focuses on the hinges themselves; please check your specific retail packaging, as screws are often sold separately depending on the mounting surface.
What is the primary material?
The hinges are constructed from durable steel with a zinc-plated silver finish for corrosion resistance.
Are these hinges self-closing?
No, these are standard flush hinges and do not feature self-closing or soft-close mechanisms.
How many hinges are in the pack?
The pack includes 10 pairs (20 individual hinges total).
Can I use these on heavy exterior house doors?
These are designed for cupboards, cabinets, and garden sheds, and are not recommended for heavy-duty main entry doors.
Troubleshooting
Door is not hanging level
Check that the mortise depth is consistent on both the door and the frame; if one side is deeper, the hinge will sit at an angle.
Hinge is squeaking during operation
Apply a small drop of silicone lubricant to the central hinge pin and work the door back and forth several times.
Screws feel loose in the timber
Remove the screw, insert a small amount of wood glue and a wooden dowel or toothpicks into the hole, let it dry, then re-drill the pilot hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal installation, mark the hinge position on both the door and the frame using a pencil. Use a wood chisel to create a shallow recess (mortise) so the leaf of the hinge sits flush against the timber. Align the hinge carefully, pilot drill your screw holes to prevent the timber from splitting, and secure with appropriate wood screws. For maintenance, keep the pins clear of debris and apply a light silicone-based lubricant once a year if you notice any squeaking. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the protective zinc plating.
