FAQs
What is the primary benefit of a Swing Clear hinge?
The primary benefit is that it allows the door to swing completely clear of the opening when fully open, maximizing the passage width and creating unobstructed access.
Can this hinge be used on any door thickness?
No, this specific hinge is designed for doors that are between 1-3/8 inches and 1-3/4 inches thick.
How do I know if I need a left or right-handed hinge?
You don't need to choose a specific hand. The hinge is reversible; simply flip the hinge pin to accommodate either left or right-handed doors.
What is included with each hinge?
Each hinge comes with 6 matching screws necessary for installation.
What is the radius of the hinge corner?
The '5/8" Radius' indicates the corner of the hinge leaf that meets the door edge. This is important for ensuring a proper fit with your door and frame.
Is the satin nickel finish durable?
Yes, the satin nickel finish is chosen for its durability, offering resistance to corrosion and smudges, making it suitable for regular use.
Where can I find other colors or sizes?
A1 Pro Supply offers this hinge in other colors like Black, Bronze, and Gold, and in different radius options. Please check the product listings for variants.
Troubleshooting
Door does not swing clear
Verify the hinge is correctly installed in its offset orientation and that the door thickness is within the specified range. Ensure the hinge pin is fully seated.
Hinge is squeaking
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pin. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dust.
Screws will not tighten
Check if the screw holes in the door or frame are stripped. If so, use longer screws or wood filler to repair the hole before reinstallation.
Door binds or rubs
Ensure all hinges on the door are properly aligned and that the door is not warped. Check for any obstructions around the door frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your door is between 1-3/8 inches and 1-3/4 inches thick.

- For left-handed doors, the hinge pin will be on the left when viewed from the exterior. For right-handed doors, the pin is on the right.
- Attach the hinge to the door and frame using the provided screws. The offset design means one leaf attaches to the door, and the other to the frame.

Care:
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the satin nickel finish.
- Periodically check that screws are tight and the hinge operates smoothly.
