These hinges are primarily designed for internal use. For exterior applications, ensure you choose a material grade specifically rated for outdoor corrosion resistance.
Yes, these hinges are tested and certified to BS EN 1634 for both 30 and 60-minute fire door applications.
For most standard heavy internal doors, a minimum of three hinges is recommended to prevent warping and ensure proper load distribution.
Grade 11 is a classification under European standards indicating that the hinge has been tested for 200,000 cycles, signifying high durability for heavy-use doors.
Yes, the product is designed to be installed with standard compatible fixings; however, ensure you use the appropriate screw size for your specific door and frame material.
Check that the hinge mortise is deep enough and that the screws are fully tightened; adjust the shims if the frame is slightly out of square.
Ensure the hinge pin is fully seated and apply a small amount of light silicone-based lubricant to the bearing joint if necessary.
For optimal performance, ensure the hinge is recessed into the door and frame using a sharp wood chisel or router to ensure a perfectly flush fit. Use high-quality screws to secure the leaves, ensuring the hinge knuckles are aligned vertically. Because these are ball-bearing hinges, they are largely maintenance-free; however, an occasional wipe with a dry cloth will keep the grey finish looking pristine. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the protective finish over time. If the door experiences heavy usage, you may periodically check the screw tension to ensure no loosening has occurred.
