Product Information
Full details
The Betley Butterfly Tee Hinge is an ideal hardware solution for DIY enthusiasts and professionals looking to mount cupboard doors, cabinets, gates, and sheds with structural reliability. Its primary benefit is the combination of heavy-duty steel construction and a protective powder-coated finish that ensures long-term alignment and resistance to the elements, though users should ensure they provide their own mounting hardware as it is not included in the pack.

FAQs
Can these hinges be used on outdoor gates?
Yes, the powder-coated finish is designed to resist rust and corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor use.
Does the pack include screws?
No, the screws are not included. You will need to purchase appropriate wood screws based on the material thickness of your door or gate.
What is the total length of the hinge?
The total length is 8 inches (200mm).
How many hinges come in a pack?
Each pack contains two hinges.
Can I paint these hinges a different color?
While the powder coating provides a durable finish, you can lightly sand the surface and apply a metal-grade spray paint if you wish to change the color.
Troubleshooting
Door is sagging after installation.
Check that the mounting screws are tight and that the hinge is secured to a solid portion of the timber frame.
Hinge is making noise during movement.
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or light machine oil to the center pin of the hinge.
Visible rust appearing around screw holes.
This often occurs if non-galvanized screws were used. Replace with rust-resistant hardware and touch up the area with a black exterior-grade paint.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality powder-coated finish prevents rust in outdoor conditions.
- Robust 8-inch design offers superior support for larger timber installations.
- Versatile design suitable for both indoor furniture and exterior gates.
- Promotes long-term door and gate alignment.
Cons
- Mounting screws are not included in the package.
- The 8-inch size may be too large for small or delicate cabinet doors.
- Black finish can show scratches if installed with improper tools.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, mark your desired position on the door frame and the door itself. Ensure the hinge is centered for even weight distribution. Because the hinges do not come with pre-drilled hardware, use high-quality wood screws that match the size of the hinge holes for maximum grip. For outdoor use, consider using stainless steel or galvanized screws to maintain the rust-resistant theme of the powder-coated hinge. Clean the hinges periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris, and apply a light machine oil to the pin if the hinge begins to squeak.
