FAQs
Does this pack include two hinges?
Yes, each pack contains one pair (two hinges) of Betley Butterfly hinges.
Can these be used on metal gates?
These hinges are versatile, but you must ensure you have the correct screws compatible with your specific metal gate material.
Are the screws included?
No, this product does not include mounting screws.
Is the finish weather-resistant?
The silver finish is designed to resist environmental wear and oxidation when used in outdoor settings.
What is the recommended maintenance frequency?
We recommend a quick inspection and lubrication of the moving parts once or twice a year.
Troubleshooting
Hinge making a squeaking sound
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the hinge pin and allow it to work into the joint.
Door is sagging or not hanging level
Check that the mounting screws are fully tightened and ensure the hinge leaf is flush against the frame surface.
Visible surface oxidation
Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner to remove surface debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these hinges, first ensure the surface is flat and clear of debris. You will need to purchase compatible wood or metal screws depending on the surface material, as these are not provided. Align the hinge leaf on the door frame, mark your drill holes with a pencil, and pilot drill the holes before securing the hinge to prevent wood splitting. For maintenance, a light application of silicone-based lubricant once or twice a year will ensure the hinge remains fluid. Periodically check that the mounting screws remain tight, as temperature fluctuations in outdoor settings can cause fasteners to loosen over time.
