FAQs

What material are these hinges made from?

The hinges are manufactured from high-quality extruded solid brass, and the pins are also made of brass.

Are screws included with the hinges?

Yes, fixings are included. Each pair of hinges requires 12 CSK screws (4.0 x 25mm).

What is the maximum weight these hinges can support?

Each pair of hinges can support a maximum door weight of 10kg.

What does the 'Corrosion Rating: 4' mean?

Corrosion Rating 4 indicates suitability for urban and industrial areas, including those with a moderate salt atmosphere, meaning they offer good protection against rust in such environments.

Can these hinges be used for outdoor applications?

While they have a good corrosion resistance rating suitable for industrial areas, they are primarily designed for counter flap applications, which are typically indoors. For direct outdoor exposure, specific weatherproofing considerations would be needed.

How should I clean the satin chrome finish?

Clean the hinges with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

What are the dimensions of the hinges?

The hinges measure 100mm (4 inches) in length and 40mm in width, with a thickness of 2.50mm.

Troubleshooting

Hinge squeaking or sticking

Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pin. Ensure no debris is obstructing movement.

Counter flap feels heavy or uneven

Verify that the total weight of the counter flap does not exceed the 10kg maximum per pair. Check for any obstructions or binding during movement.

Screws become loose over time

Retighten the screws gently. If the wood/material is stripped, consider using slightly larger screws or wood filler for a secure reattachment.

Corrosion or discoloration appears

Clean the affected area with a soft damp cloth. While highly corrosion-resistant, extreme conditions might require more frequent cleaning. Ensure cleaning agents are non-abrasive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired placement of the hinges on the counter flap and the main counter surface.
  2. Mark the screw hole positions using the hinge as a template.
  3. Drill pilot holes appropriate for the included 4.0 x 25mm screws (8 x 1 imp. gauge).

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for all counter types, particularly popular for public bar opening counter tops.

Care:

  • For environments with high humidity or salt exposure, occasional checks for any signs of wear are recommended, though the brass construction offers significant protection.
