Product Information

Full details

The Betley Butterfly Ball Bearing Butt Hinges are ideal for homeowners and contractors looking to upgrade internal doors or gate hardware with a smooth, reliable movement mechanism. These 3-inch hinges feature a ball-bearing design that significantly reduces friction and noise, ensuring long-term durability and effortless operation. While they offer a high-quality feel and a versatile silver finish that fits most decor, users should note that they are specifically sized at 76mm, making them better suited for standard-weight internal doors rather than heavy-duty exterior entry doors.

FAQs

Can these hinges be used for heavy exterior doors?

No, these 3-inch hinges are designed primarily for internal doors and gates; they may not support the weight or weather requirements of heavy-duty exterior entry doors.

Does the pack contain enough for one or two doors?

The pack contains 2 pairs, which is sufficient for installing two standard doors.

Do I need to lubricate the ball bearings?

The hinges are designed for low-maintenance operation, but a light application of silicone-based lubricant can be used if you notice any resistance over several years.

Are the included screws suitable for all door materials?

The included screws are designed for standard timber/wood doors and frames.

What is the exact height of these hinges?

These are 3-inch (76mm) hinges.

Troubleshooting

Door is rubbing against the frame

Check that the hinge leaves are recessed properly into the mortise and ensure the screws are tightened flush with the hinge plate.

Hinge making a slight clicking noise

Ensure the hinge is properly aligned and that no debris is lodged in the ball bearing raceway.

Door is sagging

Check if the top hinge screws have pulled loose from the door frame and replace with slightly longer screws if necessary to secure the hold.
