FAQs
Are these hinges suitable for exterior doors?
These hinges are primarily designed for internal fire doors; for external use, ensure they are protected from direct exposure to harsh weather.
How many hinges do I need per door?
Typically, two hinges are sufficient for light doors, but three hinges are strongly recommended for fire doors to prevent warping and ensure a proper seal.
Do these hinges need a specific door thickness?
They are designed for standard fire door thicknesses; always consult your local fire safety regulations regarding door and hinge compatibility.
Are the screws included?
Yes, each hinge comes complete with matching silver-finish screws for a cohesive appearance.
What standards do these hinges meet?
They are tested to EN1935 for cycle life and BSEN 1634 for fire resistance, and hold both CE and UKCA certifications.
Troubleshooting
Door is binding or hard to close
Check that the hinges are flush with the door edge and frame. Adjust the hinge plate alignment if the screws are pulling at an angle.
Hinge making a squeaking noise
Apply a small amount of high-quality silicone-based lubricant directly to the ball-bearing joint; do not use heavy grease that attracts dirt.
Screws feel loose in the frame
Remove the screw, insert a small amount of wood filler or matchsticks with wood glue into the hole, let dry, and re-install the screw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure you are using the correct number of hinges relative to the door weight. Mark the hinge positions on both the frame and the door edge, ensuring they are perfectly flush to prevent binding. Use the provided screws to secure the plates; avoid overtightening as this can strip the screw holes in wood frames. To maintain performance, wipe down with a soft, dry cloth periodically to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the protective silver finish.
