FAQs
Are these hinges suitable for exterior doors?
These hinges are rated as 'Non CE' and are primarily designed for interior doors. For exterior doors, it is recommended to use hinges specifically designed and certified for external use.
What material are the hinges made from?
The hinges are constructed from premium quality mild steel, providing strength and durability for long-term use.
Do I need to purchase screws separately?
No, each pair of Spira Brass Non CE Mild Steel Butt Hinges is sold complete with the necessary fixings (screws) for installation.
What is the finish of these hinges?
The hinges feature a stylish and contemporary matt black finish.
What are the dimensions of the small size hinge?
The small size hinge has a length of 76 mm and a width of 50 mm.
How do I maintain the matt black finish?
To maintain the finish, clean the hinges with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Can these hinges be used for very heavy doors?
While made from mild steel for durability, these hinges are typically suited for standard interior doors. For very heavy doors, heavier-duty, specialized hinges may be required.
Troubleshooting
Hinge squeaks after installation
Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or graphite powder) to the hinge pin. Ensure the fixings are tight.
Door is difficult to close or opens unevenly
Check that all hinge fixings are securely tightened. Ensure the hinges are correctly aligned on both the door and frame. Verify the door is not warped.
Matt black finish is damaged
For minor scratches, touch-up paint may be available from the manufacturer or a specialized hardware store. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials in the future.
Fixings are not fitting properly
Ensure you are using the correct size screws. If screwing into wood, pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw diameter can help prevent splitting and ease insertion.
