Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these hinges suitable for external doors?

No, these hinges have a Corrosion Rating of 2 and are specifically designed for internal applications. They are not built to withstand external weather conditions.

What size screws should I use?

The product information suggests using screws with a recommended diameter of 4.0mm, corresponding to an 8-gauge screw. You will need 16 screws per pair.

Can I remove the door easily with these hinges?

These are fixed pin hinges. To remove the door, you would need to unscrew the hinges from either the door or the frame. They are not designed for easy, tool-less removal.

What is the maximum weight capacity per pair?

Each pair of these hinges has a maximum door weight capacity of 30kg.

Are screws included with the hinges?

The product description does not state that screws are included. Typically, screws are sold separately for hinges.

What does 'uncranked' mean for a hinge?

An 'uncranked' hinge means it does not have any offset bends in the hinge leaves, resulting in a flat and flush profile when closed.

How do I clean the zinc finish?

Clean the zinc finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the protective coating.

Troubleshooting

Hinge squeaks or is stiff

Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (like graphite powder or a light machine oil) to the hinge pin. Ensure screws are tight.

Door does not hang straight

Check that the hinges are mortised correctly and are perfectly aligned. Loosen screws slightly, adjust alignment, and retighten.

Hinge pin is difficult to insert or remove

Ensure the hinge knuckles are clean and free of debris. If the pin is stuck, a light tap with a hammer might help. For removal, a pin punch can be used.

Visible rust spots on the finish

Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth. For minor spots, a light application of lubricant might help protect the surface. Consider if the environment exceeds the recommended corrosion rating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for narrow and thin internal doors.
  • Durable steel construction for longevity.
  • Zinc finish provides moderate corrosion resistance.
  • Fixed pin ensures a secure installation.
  • Uncranked design offers a clean, flush look.

Cons

  • Not suitable for external doors or heavy-duty applications.
  • Fixed pin means the door cannot be easily removed without unscrewing the hinge.
  • Corrosion rating limits use in very harsh or coastal environments.
  • Requires 16 screws per pair (not always included), adding to installation cost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the door and frame are prepared for a narrow hinge, marking the hinge positions accurately.
  2. Typically, 16 screws (8 per hinge) are required, using the recommended 8-gauge screws (4.0mm diameter). Screws are usually sold separately.
  3. Attach the hinges to the door and then to the frame, ensuring they are aligned correctly for smooth operation.

Compatibility:

  • Door Type: Best suited for internal, lighter-weight doors.
  • Frame Type: Compatible with standard wooden door frames.
  • Weight Limit: Maximum door weight of 30kg per pair.

Care:

  • For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and grime.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the zinc finish.
  • In occasionally damp environments, ensure the hinges are kept dry to prevent premature corrosion.
  • Periodically check screws for tightness.
