Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic woodworking tools. Since fixings are not provided, choose high-quality wood screws that match the countersunk holes in the hinge plate to ensure a flush finish.
- Alignment: Ensure the hinge knuckle is aligned correctly with the edge of the gate or door frame.
- Pilot Holes: Always drill pilot holes to prevent splitting the timber, especially when working with softwoods common in sheds.
- Fastening: Use an appropriate screwdriver to secure the hinge. Avoid over-tightening the screws, as this may strip the pilot hole.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the screws for tightness and apply a light lubricant to the 7.5mm knuckle if you notice any squeaking or resistance during operation.
