FAQs

What is the best application for these hinges?

These hinges are specifically designed for light cupboard and cabinet doors, where a combination of durability and aesthetic appeal is desired.

Are these hinges suitable for exterior doors?

No, these hinges are intended for interior use on light cabinet doors. They are rated for moderate exposure but not for the demands of exterior doors.

What type of screws are included?

The hinges come with 12 CSK (Countersunk) screws, size 3.0 x 15mm.

How do I clean and maintain the antique brass finish?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can these hinges be used on heavy doors?

No, these hinges are only suitable for light doors due to their size and construction.

What does 'Solid Drawn' mean in the product description?

'Solid Drawn' refers to the manufacturing process, indicating the hinges are made from solid brass that has been drawn into shape, ensuring a high-quality, seamless construction without plating that could wear off.

What are the dimensions of the hinge?

The hinge measures 64mm in length and 35mm in open width, with a thickness of 2.00mm.

Troubleshooting

Hinge squeaks or is stiff.

Ensure the hinge pin is seated correctly. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a suitable silicone-based lubricant to the knuckles. Check for any debris obstructing movement.

Door does not hang straight.

Check that the hinges are aligned correctly and securely fastened. Ensure the mounting surfaces are flat and stable. Adjust screw tightness as needed.

Screws will not tighten sufficiently.

The wood may be too soft or the pre-drilled holes too large. Use slightly larger screws or fill the hole with wood filler or a wooden dowel and re-drill a pilot hole.

Finish appears to be tarnishing unevenly.

This is a natural characteristic of antique brass finishes. Consistent light cleaning with a soft cloth can help maintain a more uniform appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rust-proof solid brass construction for longevity.
  • Elegant antique brass finish enhances appearance.
  • Suitable for light-duty applications like cabinet doors.
  • Includes all necessary fixings for straightforward installation.

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy doors or high-traffic areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mark Hinge Placement: Carefully mark the desired positions for the hinges on both the door and the cabinet frame.
  2. Mortise (If Necessary): For a flush fit, you may need to chisel out shallow mortises in the wood to recess the hinges.
  3. Attach Hinges: Position the hinges and secure them using the provided 3.0 x 15mm screws. Ensure the screws are driven straight and snug, but avoid over-tightening, which can strip the wood.
  4. Hang Door: Attach the door to the cabinet, aligning the hinges.

Compatibility:

  • Door Type: Primarily designed for light cupboard and cabinet doors.
  • Material: Suitable for use with various wood types.
  • Environment: Rated for moderate urban and industrial environments with some salt atmosphere.

Care:

  • To maintain the antique brass finish, wipe with a soft, dry cloth regularly.
  • For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as they can damage the finish.
  • Periodically check screws for tightness.
