Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Butt Door Hinge (Gold, N163) is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable, decorative solution for hanging internal doors. These brass-effect hinges offer a clean, metallic finish that complements interior hardware while providing smooth door operation. The primary benefit is the inclusion of all necessary fixings, allowing for an efficient installation process, though users should note that as these are butt hinges, they require mortising into the door frame for a flush, professional fit.

FAQs
Does this pack include enough hinges for one door?
Yes, this pack contains 3 hinges, which is the standard requirement for hanging a single interior door.
Can these hinges be used outdoors?
These are primarily designed for internal use. Exposure to moisture may cause the finish to tarnish or the metal to corrode over time.
Are the screws included?
Yes, the pack includes matching screws for quick and simple installation.
What does 'loose pin' mean?
A loose pin means the central pin can be pulled out, allowing you to separate the door from the frame without removing the hinges themselves.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a screwdriver, a sharp wood chisel, a hammer, and a pencil for marking your hinge positions.
How do I maintain the gold finish?
Clean only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
Troubleshooting
Door is binding or hard to close
Check that the mortise is deep enough. If the hinge leaf sits proud of the wood, it will cause the door to bind against the frame.
Hinge pin is difficult to remove
Gently tap the bottom of the pin with a small flathead screwdriver and hammer to loosen it; apply a tiny amount of light lubricant if it remains stuck.
Door is sagging
Ensure all screws are fully tightened. If the screw holes are stripped, use a wood filler or matchsticks with glue to rebuild the hole before re-screwing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these hinges, first mark the hinge positions on both the door edge and the door frame. Use a sharp wood chisel to create a mortise depth equal to the thickness of one hinge leaf. Secure the hinge leaves using the provided screws, ensuring the pins are oriented correctly according to your preferred direction of door removal. For maintenance, check the screws periodically to ensure they remain tight within the wood. To clean, wipe down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or harsh scouring pads, as these can strip the gold effect finish from the metal surface.
