FAQs

What type of wood screws are included?

The hinges are supplied with matching stainless steel wood screws designed for use with this product.

Can I use these hinges on exterior doors?

These hinges are primarily designed for interior furniture and cabinets. While made of steel, the Pewter Patina finish may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to exterior elements.

How do I clean the Pewter Patina finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the unique finish.

What is the guarantee period for these hinges?

The hinges come with a 5-year guarantee.

Can I buy individual hinges if I only need one more?

These hinges are sold in pairs. For applications requiring an odd number, you would need to purchase an additional pair.

What are the exact dimensions of the hinge?

The overall size is 51mm x 51mm. The Fixing Plate is 51mm x 10mm, and the Hinge Arm is 51mm x 32mm.

Are these hinges suitable for very heavy doors?

For heavier doors, it is recommended to fit three hinges per door (a pair and a half) to provide extra strength and support.

Troubleshooting

Hinge squeaking

Apply a small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pivot points. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dust.

Door not closing properly

Check that all screws are tightened securely. Ensure the door is not warped and that there are no obstructions. Minor alignment issues can often be resolved by slightly adjusting the hinge screws.

Finish appears to be tarnishing unevenly

This is often a characteristic of the Pewter Patina finish. If a more uniform look is desired, clean gently with a soft cloth. For significant issues, contact customer support.

Screws not holding securely

Ensure pilot holes were pre-drilled and are the correct size. If the wood is soft or damaged, consider using wood filler and re-drilling, or using slightly larger screws.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Positioning: Determine the desired placement for the hinges on your door and furniture frame, considering the swing of the door and any clearance requirements.
  2. Marking: Use a pencil to lightly mark the screw hole positions for both the hinge leaf on the door and the hinge arm on the frame.
  3. Pre-drilling (Recommended): For best results and to prevent wood splitting, pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the provided screws.
  4. Attachment: Secure the hinges using the included matching stainless steel wood screws. Ensure screws are tightened firmly but avoid over-tightening, which could strip the wood.
  5. Adjustment: If necessary, minor adjustments can be made by slightly loosening and repositioning the hinges before fully tightening.

Compatibility:

  • Door Types: Suitable for wooden cabinet doors, cupboard doors, and ornamental furniture.
  • Frame Types: Compatible with standard wooden furniture frames.
  • Weight: Can support moderate door weights individually. For heavier doors, fitting three hinges per door (a pair and a half) is recommended.

Care:

  • The Pewter Patina finish is designed to age gracefully. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
  • For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and light marks.
  • For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by immediate drying with a clean, soft cloth.
  • Periodically check screws for tightness, especially on doors that are used frequently.
