Product Information
Full details
The Avocet UPVC Door Butt Hinge (115mm, 0-degree flat) is designed for professional installers and homeowners looking to repair or upgrade standard residential UPVC doors. It provides a robust, smooth-swinging mechanism that ensures your door remains properly aligned and secure. While it is highly durable for typical residential use, it is specifically intended for flat-profile installations, meaning it is not suitable for doors requiring an angled hinge offset.

FAQs
Can I use this on a composite door?
This hinge is specifically engineered for UPVC doors; compatibility with composite materials is not guaranteed.
What is the angle of this hinge?
This is a 0-degree flat hinge, meaning it is for flat surface applications.
Does this hinge come with screws?
Standard installation usually requires using the existing hardware or purchasing screws appropriate for your specific UPVC frame depth.
Is the white finish weather-resistant?
Yes, the finish is designed to be durable and resistant to standard outdoor environmental factors.
How do I know if I need the 0-degree or 13-degree hinge?
Check your existing hinge profile. If your door frame is flush, you likely need the 0-degree flat hinge. If there is a visible offset on your frame profile, you likely need the 13-degree angled version.
Troubleshooting
Door is still dropping or dragging after installation
Check that the mounting screws are tightened to the correct depth and that the frame itself hasn't shifted.
Hinge appears misaligned
Ensure you are using the flat 0-degree model; if your door profile requires an angled hinge, the flat model will cause binding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove the old hinge and ensure the mounting area is clean of debris. Align the hinge with the existing pilot holes on your door and frame. Use high-quality screws to secure the hinge, being careful not to overtighten and strip the plastic substrate. Before final tightening, check the door alignment using a spirit level to ensure a plumb fit. For maintenance, periodically wipe the hinge with a damp cloth to remove grit and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the pivot point once a year to keep the motion fluid.
