Troubleshooting
Door is stiff or doesn't swing freely.
Ensure the hinge mortises are correctly sized and the hinge leaves are seated flush. Check that all 16 screws are tightened securely. Verify the door weight does not exceed the 30kg limit.
Hinge pin is difficult to insert or remove.
Check for any debris or damage within the hinge knuckles. Gently clean the knuckles and try again. Ensure the hinge is properly aligned with the door and frame.
Hinges show signs of rust or corrosion.
These hinges have a low corrosion rating and are intended for dry environments. If rust appears, it indicates the hinge is in an unsuitable environment. Clean off any surface rust gently with a soft brush and consider replacing the hinges with a model suited for higher corrosion resistance if the environment cannot be improved.
