Troubleshooting
Hinge squeaks or is stiff
Apply a small amount of light oil or lubricant to the pin and pivot point. Work the hinge back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Door or gate is not hanging straight
Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened. Ensure the hinge is correctly aligned and that the frame or door is not warped.
Hinge appears to be rusting
While galvanised, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments may eventually show signs of surface rust. Clean with a soft brush and apply a rust inhibitor or clear coat suitable for metal if necessary.
Mounting holes do not align with existing holes
This hinge has a 6 mm mounting hole diameter. You may need to drill new pilot holes if the existing ones do not match or are damaged. Ensure you are using the correct hinge size for your application.
