Full details

FAQs
Are these hinges suitable for exterior doors?
No, these are designed for light-duty internal use and are not weather-resistant enough for exterior applications.
Can I use these on a heavy oak door?
These hinges are intended for light-duty furniture and cabinetry. They will likely sag or fail under the weight of a heavy solid-core door.
How many hinges come in a pack?
Each pack contains 2 hinges.
Do I need to mortise the door to install these?
Yes, to achieve a true flush-mount result, a shallow recess should be cut into the wood so the hinge plate sits flat.
How do I clean the gold finish without damaging it?
Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can cause micro-scratches and degrade the plating.
Troubleshooting
Door is not sitting flush with the cabinet frame
Check the depth of the mortise. You may need to deepen the recess using a chisel so the hinge plate sits fully level with the wood surface.
Hinge squeaking during operation
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or a dry graphite powder to the hinge pin to reduce friction.
Screw holes have become stripped
Remove the screw, insert a small piece of wood or a toothpick coated in wood glue into the hole, allow it to dry, and then re-drill the pilot hole.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant gold finish matches traditional and contemporary cabinetry
- Flush mounting design minimizes gaps between doors and frames
- Durable construction suitable for frequent light-duty use
- Easy to install for intermediate DIY projects
Cons
- Not suitable for heavy-duty or exterior solid doors
- Gold finish may show fingerprints or smudges more readily than matte alternatives
- Requires precise alignment during installation to ensure a perfect flush fit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure you have a sharp wood chisel and a drill with appropriate pilot drill bits. Because these are flush hinges, you must ensure the door recess is perfectly aligned with the frame recess to achieve a flat, gap-free closure. Mark your drill holes carefully before fastening with high-quality wood screws to prevent splitting the timber. Regarding care, the gold plating can be maintained by simply wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the gold finish and lead to premature oxidation of the base metal.
