FAQs
What material are these hinges made from?
These hinges are constructed from steel with a polished chrome finish.
Are screws included with the hinges?
Yes, the hinges are sold and supplied in pairs with matching screws for installation.
What is the fire rating of these hinges?
These hinges have been tested to a 1-hour fire rating.
What do 'Grade 7 Tested' and '76mm x 50mm' mean?
'Grade 7 Tested' indicates a high standard of durability. '76mm x 50mm' refers to the physical dimensions of the hinge, which is important for fitting.
Can these hinges be used for exterior doors?
While designed for durability, their suitability for exterior use depends on environmental factors. For coastal or high-humidity areas, regular checks and maintenance are advised.
How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.
Are these hinges suitable for all types of doors?
They are generally suitable for standard wooden doors. Ensure the dimensions and weight are compatible with your door.
Troubleshooting
Door is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Ensure hinges are correctly aligned and screws are fully tightened. Check for any debris caught within the hinge mechanism. Verify the door is not warped.
Hinge is squeaking.
The internal ball bearings may need lubrication. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant directly into the hinge joint. Avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
Door is sagging.
Check that all hinge screws are securely fastened to both the door and frame. If the issue persists, the hinge may be worn or the door may be too heavy for the hinges.
Polished chrome finish is dull or scratched.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For scratches, try a non-abrasive metal polish specifically designed for chrome, following product instructions carefully.
