Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these hinges suitable for external doors?

No, these hinges are specifically designed for light internal doors and cabinets. They are not weatherproof or rated for exterior use.

Do I need to cut into the door or frame to install these hinges?

No, a key feature of flush hinges is that they require no mortising (cutting into the door or frame) for installation, simplifying the fitting process.

What is the maximum weight capacity for these hinges?

These hinges are intended for light doors and cabinets. Specific weight capacity is not provided, but they are not recommended for heavy or large doors.

How do I clean and maintain the polished chrome finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the finish.

What material are the hinges made from?

They are manufactured from high-quality extruded solid brass with brass pins.

What size are the hinges?

The hinges measure 75mm in length and 50mm in width (L x W mm: 75 x 50).

Are fixings included with the hinges?

Yes, the hinges come supplied with the necessary fixings for installation.

Troubleshooting

Hinge squeaks or is stiff

Ensure screws are adequately tightened. Check for any debris or obstructions in the hinge knuckle. A small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the knuckle if necessary, but avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.

Door does not hang straight

Verify that the hinges are installed in the correct position and are perfectly aligned. Check if the door or frame has warped. Adjust screw tightness on one hinge if minor alignment is needed.

Screws are difficult to tighten

Ensure you are using the correct size screwdriver for the screw heads. If the screw hole in the material is stripped, you may need to use a slightly larger screw or wood filler to create a secure fixing.

Hinge binds or catches

Confirm that the door is not too heavy for the hinges. Check for any misalignment or if the door is rubbing against the frame. Ensure the hinge knuckles are fully seated.
