FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the 3-way adjustment system?
The 3-way adjustment system allows for precise fine-tuning of the door's position in terms of side-to-side, up-and-down (height), and in-and-out (depth) to ensure perfect alignment with adjacent doors and the cabinet frame.
Is the mounting plate included with the hinge?
No, the mounting plate is sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the hinge.
What is the minimum door thickness required for this hinge?
While not explicitly stated, the shallow cup depth of 11.7mm suggests it is suitable for doors where minimal protrusion into the door is desired, typically around 15-20mm thickness or more.
Can this hinge be used for standard cabinet doors, not just corner cabinets?
No, this hinge is specifically engineered for bi-fold door applications in corner cabinets due to its 70° opening angle and bi-fold design.
What does 'sprung' mean in the context of this hinge?
'Sprung' means the hinge has a built-in spring mechanism that automatically closes the door when it is released, eliminating the need for separate catches in many applications.
How do I determine if this hinge is compatible with my cabinet?
Check if your corner cabinet requires bi-fold doors, has pre-drilled holes for a 35mm cup diameter and 45mm hole centers on the door and carcass, and if the mounting plate specifications match the cabinet construction.
Troubleshooting
Door does not close fully or stays open.
Ensure the hinge is properly sprung and check if the mounting plate is securely fastened. Verify that the door is not binding against the cabinet frame or other doors.
Doors are misaligned or have a gap between them.
Utilize the three-way adjustment screws on the hinge to correct side, height, and depth alignment. Refer to the setup section for adjustment guidance.
Hinge does not snap onto the mounting plate.
Confirm that both the hinge and the mounting plate are the correct Titus models and are oriented properly. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the snap-on mechanism.
Door feels stiff or difficult to open/close.
Check for any obstructions or damage to the hinge mechanism. Ensure the door is not warped and that the mounting plate is not crooked.
