FAQs

What is the primary advantage of T-hinges?

T-hinges offer excellent support due to their long arm, making them ideal for light to medium weight doors, and their surface-mounted design simplifies installation.

Are these hinges suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the high-quality steel construction with a black powder coating provides protection against the elements, making them ideal for external applications like garden gates and sheds.

What is the weight rating for these hinges?

These hinges are designed for light to medium weight doors. They provide good support, but are not recommended for very heavy doors.

How do I install these hinges?

T-hinges are surface-mounted. You attach the long arm to the door and the narrower head to the door jamb. All necessary fittings are typically included.

What is the finish of these hinges?

The hinges have a black Japanned finish, which adds a traditional charm and provides protection against wear and the elements.

Can I use these hinges on metal gates?

While primarily designed for wooden doors, they can also be used on a range of different materials, including certain types of metal gates, provided appropriate fixings are used.

What maintenance do these hinges require?

Basic maintenance involves cleaning with a damp cloth and periodically checking screw tightness. For external use, occasional lubrication can help maintain smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

Door is stiff or difficult to open/close

Check if the hinges are aligned correctly. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly but not overtightened. Verify that the door is not warped and the jamb is plumb. Lightly lubricate the hinge pin if necessary.

Hinge squeaking

Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or silicone spray) to the hinge pin and pivot points.

Door sagging

Ensure the hinges are securely fastened to both the door and the jamb. If the door is heavier than recommended, consider adding an additional hinge or reinforcing the mounting points.

Screws won't tighten

Ensure you are using the correct size screws for the material. If the hole is stripped, you may need to use a slightly larger screw or a wood filler/dowel to create a secure anchor point.
