FAQs

What is the primary material of the hinge?

The hinge is crafted from cast iron with a powder-coated finish.

Can I use these hinges in my kitchen?

Yes, the hinges can be used in kitchens as long as the environment is not excessively damp. Avoid use in bathrooms or unheated/damp rooms.

What are the approximate dimensions of the hinge?

The hinge is approximately 230mm wide. Please note that as the product is handmade, measurements are approximate.

How do I prevent rust on this cast iron hinge?

Regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required to help prevent rusting. Keep the hinge in a dry environment.

Do I need special tools to install this hinge?

You will need a drill for the pilot hole and a screwdriver. It is essential to tighten screws by hand and avoid power tools.

Will the finish be exactly the same on all hinges?

No, each hinge is handmade, which may result in slight variations in size and finish, contributing to its unique character.

Troubleshooting

Screw shearing during installation.

Ensure a pilot hole is drilled first, and that screws are tightened gently by hand. Do not use power tools.

Visible rust spots appearing on the hinge.

Clean the affected area and immediately apply a coat of household wax polish. Increase the frequency of waxing to prevent further rusting.

Hinge feels stiff or difficult to open/close.

Check for any obstructions. Apply a small amount of wax polish to the hinge points and work it in gently. Ensure screws are not overtightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong rustic and antique aesthetic.
  • Durable cast iron construction for longevity.
  • Unique arrowhead design adds character.
  • Suitable for upcycling projects and new installations.

Cons

  • Requires careful installation to prevent screw shearing.
  • Not suitable for use in bathrooms or damp/unheated rooms.
  • Prone to rusting if not regularly maintained.
  • Handmade nature means slight size and finish variations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Pilot Hole: Always drill a pilot hole before inserting screws. This is crucial because cast iron can be brittle, and attempting to screw directly may cause the screw to shear.
  2. Hand Tighten Screws: Tighten all screws by hand. Avoid using power screwdrivers or drills, as overtightening can damage the hinge or the wood.

Compatibility:

  • This hinge is designed for use on interior wooden cupboards and cabinets.
  • Not suitable for bathrooms or any unheated/damp rooms due to the nature of cast iron.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Cast iron is a ferrous metal and is susceptible to rusting.
  • Regularly apply a household wax polish to the surface of the hinge to help create a protective barrier and prevent rust.
  • Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed.
