Troubleshooting
Hinge does not seat properly
Verify the drilling pattern and depth are accurate to the specifications (52 x 5.5 mm and 11.6 mm cup depth). Ensure no debris is obstructing the drilled hole.
Door does not open to 165 degrees
Check that the hinge is fully pressed into place and that the door thickness is within the supported range (15-24 mm). Ensure no obstructions are limiting the opening arc.
Hinge squeaks or is stiff
Wipe the hinge mechanism clean with a dry cloth. While generally maintenance-free, ensure no foreign particles are interfering with the movement. Avoid applying oil, as it can attract dust.
Door alignment is off
Many Hettich hinges offer adjustment screws. Consult the specific hinge documentation for adjustment procedures to correct vertical, horizontal, or depth alignment.
