Troubleshooting
Door is still sticking after adjustment.
Ensure the hinge is correctly seated and all adjustment screws are turned appropriately. Check if other hardware on the door, like the lock mechanism, might be causing the issue. Verify you are using the correct size Allen key (5mm).
Hinge pin feels stiff or difficult to turn.
Check for any debris or obstruction around the adjustment points. Lightly lubricate the adjustment screw mechanism if necessary, ensuring not to use excessive amounts that could attract dirt.
Hinge making noise during operation.
This may indicate a need for lubrication or that the hinge is not properly seated. Ensure screws are tight and consider applying a small amount of white lithium grease to the moving parts.
Door sags after installation.
Confirm the hinge is rated for the door's weight and that two hinges are used if supporting a heavy door (up to 80kg total). Ensure the frame and door are structurally sound.
