FAQs

Are screws included with the hinges?

No, screws are not included with these hinges and must be purchased separately. Ensure you select screws appropriate for your material and the hinge size.

Can these hinges be used for outdoor gates?

No, these hinges are specifically designed for light indoor use only and are not weather-resistant or strong enough for outdoor gates.

What is the 'Self Colour' finish?

Self-colour refers to the natural finish of the metal after manufacturing. It's a basic silver appearance that can be painted or left as is for functional purposes.

How many hinges are in a pack?

Each pack contains two Securit Steel Butt Hinges.

Can I paint these hinges?

Yes, you can paint these hinges. It is recommended to use a metal primer first for better adhesion and durability, especially if you want to protect the steel from potential rust in humid conditions.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

These hinges are intended for light-duty applications. They do not have a specified weight capacity but should not be used for doors or lids that are heavy or require significant support.

What type of doors are these suitable for?

They are suitable for lightweight interior doors, such as those on cabinets, cupboards, or small furniture where smooth, simple swinging action is needed.

Troubleshooting

Hinge squeaks

Apply a small amount of lubricant such as white lithium grease or a silicone-based spray to the hinge pin.

Door/lid does not close properly

Check that the hinges are aligned correctly and securely fastened. Ensure there are no obstructions. If the door is sagging, the hinges may be overloaded or improperly installed; consider stronger hinges or reinforcement.

Screws do not tighten

Ensure you are using the correct size screws for the pilot holes and the material. If the hole is stripped, you may need to use a larger screw or fill the hole with wood filler before re-drilling.
