Ibfm Hinge 80mm Steel Drop Profile Weldable Removable Pin

The hinge body is made from weldable steel, and the pin is also made of steel and has undergone passivation.

Yes, the self-colour body can be prepared and painted after welding. It is recommended to use a metal primer followed by a suitable topcoat for durability.

Passivation is a surface treatment that enhances the corrosion resistance of the steel pin, helping to prevent rust and maintain smooth operation.

The hinge is designed to be welded directly onto steel surfaces. Proper alignment, tack welding, testing, and then full welding are the standard installation steps.

No, the pin is removable, which facilitates easier installation, maintenance, or disassembly of the attached component.

The drop profile refers to the specific shape or configuration of the hinge leaf, designed for certain mounting applications to ensure a clean and integrated fit.

Yes, it can be used for exterior gates, but the self-colour steel body should be protected with an appropriate paint system to prevent corrosion.

Ensure the pin is fully seated and free of debris. Check for any obstructions or misalignment between the hinge leaves. If necessary, remove the pin, clean both the pin and the hinge barrel, and reinsert.

Ensure there is no side-load on the hinge. Use a drift punch and hammer to gently tap the pin out from the bottom. If rust is suspected, apply a penetrating lubricant and allow it to soak before attempting removal.

Ensure surfaces are clean and free of rust, paint, or grease before welding. Use appropriate welding techniques for steel. Consult welding guidelines for best practices.

The self-colour finish requires protection in exposed environments. Clean the rusted area, apply a metal primer, and then a suitable topcoat paint for steel.
