Troubleshooting
Hinge does not open to 90 degrees.
Ensure there are no obstructions around the hinge. Verify that the hinge is correctly seated and that the cabinet door is not warped or misaligned.
Hinge feels loose or wobbly.
Check that all fixing screws are securely tightened into the cabinet and door. If the issue persists, the mounting holes may be stripped, requiring repair or larger screws.
Hinge squeaks during operation.
A small amount of lubricant (like silicone spray) can be applied to the hinge's moving parts. Avoid over-lubrication.
Hinge does not sit flush.
Re-check the depth of the cup recess in the door and the alignment of the mounting plate on the cabinet frame. Ensure no debris is preventing a flush fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This hinge requires screw fixing. Ensure you have appropriate wood screws (not included) suitable for your cabinet material and the hinge's screw holes. Drill pilot holes as necessary to prevent wood splitting. The hinge is designed for flush fitting, meaning the cup needs to be recessed into the cabinet door, and the mounting plate attached to the cabinet frame. Precise measurement and alignment are crucial for proper function and appearance.
Compatibility: The Ø 30 mm cup size is a standard dimension, compatible with many cabinet door preparations. It is designed for wood or particleboard cabinets and doors. Ensure the thickness of your cabinet door and the depth of your required recess are compatible with the hinge's specifications (16mm dimple).
Care: Clean the hinge with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the nickel-plated finish. Periodically check that screws remain tight to ensure continued stability and smooth operation.
