Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and home renovators looking for a straightforward solution for cabinet doors. The key benefit is its 'cranked' design and easy surface mount installation, allowing inset doors to sit flush and swing smoothly without binding, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is the specific 16mm cranked offset, which must match the cabinet design. This pack includes 6 hinges (3 pairs), offering a traditional Electro-Brass finish and durable steel construction for consistent, quiet operation.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 'cranked' design?

The cranked design, with its 16mm offset, allows inset doors to sit flush with the cabinet frame when closed while providing the necessary clearance for smooth opening without binding.

Do I need to cut a recess for these hinges?

No, these are surface mount hinges. They are designed for easy installation without requiring any mortising or recessing into the wood.

How many doors can I cover with one pack?

Each pack contains 6 hinges, which is enough to install on three standard cabinet doors (two hinges per door).

What material are the hinges made of?

The hinges are constructed from high-quality steel with an Electro-Brass (EB) finish.

Can these hinges be used for overlay doors?

No, these hinges are specifically engineered for inset doors, which fit within the cabinet frame. They are not suitable for overlay doors that sit on top of the frame.

How do I clean the Electro-Brass finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.

What is the 'fixed pin' feature?

A fixed pin means the pin is permanently attached to the hinge. This ensures precise alignment and a stable, consistent swing for the door.

Troubleshooting

Door does not sit flush when closed.

Verify the 16mm cranked offset is correctly oriented. Ensure hinges are securely fastened and not obstructed. Check if the door itself is warped.

Door is difficult to open or closes unevenly.

Check for any binding against the frame. Ensure hinges are aligned correctly and screws are tightened. The door may be too heavy for the hinge capacity if multiple items are added.

Hinges are noisy during operation.

Ensure the fixed pin is properly seated. Lightly lubricate the hinge pivot point if necessary, using a suitable lubricant for metal.

Screws do not hold securely.

Ensure you are using appropriate screws for the cabinet material. If the hole is stripped, consider using a wood filler or a slightly larger screw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mark Hinge Placement: Position the hinge on the cabinet frame and door, ensuring the 16mm cranked offset aligns correctly for flush closure.
  2. Attach Hinges: Secure the hinges to the cabinet frame and the door using appropriate screws (not included). Since these are surface mount, no prior recessing is needed.
  3. Align Doors: Once attached, check door alignment and make minor adjustments by slightly loosening and retightening screws if necessary.

  • Door Type: Primarily designed for *inset doors* that fit *inside* the cabinet frame.
  • Frame Type: Suitable for standard cabinet frames where a 16mm clearance is required.
  • Material: Compatible with wood, MDF, and particle board cabinets.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the Electro-Brass finish.
  • Periodically check screws for tightness to maintain optimal performance.
