Troubleshooting
Caps do not fit securely
Ensure you are attempting to fit them onto a standard hinge type. The hinges might be too large or oddly shaped. Double-check alignment and try applying gentle, even pressure.
Caps fall off easily
Verify that the underlying hinge mechanism is clean and dry. If the cap feels loose, it may indicate a non-standard fit. Consider a small amount of non-permanent adhesive if the issue persists and is acceptable for your setup.
Visible gap around the cap
This can occur with slightly non-standard hinges. Ensure the cap is pushed as far down as possible. The primary function is aesthetic concealment, and minor gaps might be unavoidable with certain hinge designs.
