FAQs
Are these hinges made of real brass?
No, these hinges are constructed from premium quality mild steel with a gold-coloured finish. They are designed to offer the appearance of brass with the durability of steel.
What is included with the purchase?
Each purchase includes a pair of Spira Brass Butt Hinges and all the necessary fixings (screws) required for installation.
What are the exact dimensions of the hinge?
The hinges measure 100 mm in length and 76 mm in width, with a thickness of 3 mm.
Can these hinges be used for exterior doors?
While made of steel, their suitability for exterior doors depends on the environmental conditions. They are primarily designed for enhanced internal door performance but can be used externally if protected from harsh weather.
How do I clean and maintain the gold finish?
Clean the hinges regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For light cleaning, a damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
Are these hinges suitable for fire doors?
This product information does not specify fire-rating. Please consult relevant building codes or product certifications if fire door compliance is required.
What is the weight capacity of these hinges?
The product description highlights their suitability for heavier doors due to their premium steel construction and 3mm thickness, but a specific weight capacity is not provided.
Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to open or close
Check if the hinges are properly aligned and all screws are tightened. Ensure there are no obstructions in the door's path. For very heavy doors, ensure the hinge rating is sufficient.
Hinges are making noise
Ensure the ball bearings are functioning correctly and not obstructed. Clean the hinges and, if necessary, apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (check manufacturer recommendations).
Hinges feel loose or wobbly
Tighten all screws securing the hinges to the door and frame. If the screw holes are stripped, you may need to use larger screws or wood filler.
The gold finish is tarnishing
Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If tarnish persists, check if the finish is a coating that may be wearing off, and consider a replacement if necessary.
