FAQs

What material are these hinges made from?

These hinges are made from high-quality steel, specifically chosen for its strength and resistance to mechanical damage and environmental factors.

Are these hinges suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. They are treated to withstand all weather conditions and ultraviolet radiation.

What is the mounting hole diameter?

The mounting hole diameter is 5 mm.

What is the thickness of the steel?

The thickness of the steel used for these hinges is 2.5 mm.

Do these hinges come with screws?

Screws are not included with the hinges. You will need to use appropriate screws suitable for your mounting surface and the 5 mm holes.

Can these hinges support heavy doors?

Yes, their design and steel construction allow them to hold even heavy wings effectively, provided they are installed correctly and sufficient hinges are used for the weight.

What are the dimensions of the mounting bracket?

The dimensions of the mounting bracket (the flat plate part that attaches to the surface) are 55 x 90 mm.

Troubleshooting

Hinge squeaks or is stiff during operation

Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or a dry lubricant spray to the hinge pin. Ensure no excess lubricant drips onto finished surfaces.

Door/gate is sagging or not closing properly

Verify that all mounting screws are tight. Check if the hinge is appropriately rated for the weight of the door/gate. Consider adding additional hinges or reinforcing the mounting surface.

Visible rust spots developing

This is rare due to the protective treatments. Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth. For persistent spots, a light application of a metal polish designed for coated surfaces might be used sparingly, followed by a wipe-down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability due to high-quality steel.
  • Excellent resistance to environmental factors like weather and UV rays.
  • Secure and robust connection thanks to the damage-resistant pin.
  • Adds a professional and stylish finish to projects.
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications, both internal and external.
  • Designed to handle significant weight loads.

Cons

  • The 'narrow' design might not be suitable for extremely wide or heavy doors without additional support.
  • Requires pre-drilled holes of specific diameter for mounting.
  • Black finish could potentially scratch over time with heavy use, though the underlying steel is robust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the desired mounting locations on the door/wing and the frame/surface.
  2. Mark the positions for the 5 mm mounting holes.
  3. Drill pilot holes ensuring they are perpendicular to the surface.
  4. Align the hinge with the pilot holes and secure using appropriate screws (not included).
  5. Ensure the hinge operates smoothly before final tightening.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for wood, metal, and composite materials.
  • Requires a surface that can accommodate screws for the 5 mm mounting holes.
  • Designed to work with doors, gates, panels, and cabinets.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the black finish.
  • Periodically check screws for tightness, especially in high-traffic applications.
  • While weather-resistant, occasional inspection for any signs of wear is recommended.
