What is the maximum door weight these hinges can support?

The hinges are designed to support a maximum door weight of 40kg.

How do I achieve the fire rating on my doors?

The fire rating (30/60 minute) is achieved when the door is fitted with a minimum of three hinges and appropriate intumescent hinge pads. Always consult building regulations for specific requirements.

How many hinges are in a pair?

A pair of hinges typically contains two individual hinges. This product listing specifies the quantity, e.g., '4 Pairs (8 Hinges)'.

What is the material of the hinges?

The hinges are made from durable steel.

Do I need to lubricate the hinges?

No, the ball bearing mechanism is designed for maintenance-free, silent operation and does not require lubrication.

Can I mix different finishes of hinges on the same door?

Troubleshooting

Door does not swing smoothly

Check that all hinge screws are securely tightened and that the door is properly aligned. Ensure there are no obstructions or debris around the hinge knuckles.

Hinges are making noise

While designed for silent operation, check for any foreign objects caught in the hinge mechanism. Ensure the hinge pins are correctly seated.

Door sags or appears misaligned

Verify that the door weight does not exceed the 40kg limit. Ensure all hinges are installed correctly and that the frame is structurally sound. Consider adding a third hinge if not already present.

Finish is damaged

Avoid abrasive cleaning. If minor damage occurs, check the product's warranty for repair or replacement options. Minor scratches on antique brass can sometimes blend with the finish over time.
