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.
