FAQs

What material is the Unifix PRS 488 Parliament Hinge SC made from?

The product description indicates it is made from durable materials for long-lasting use.

How many hinges are included in a pack?

Each pack contains five Unifix PRS 488 Parliament Hinges.

What are the dimensions of this hinge?

The hinge measures 75mm (3 inches) in size.

Can this hinge be used for exterior doors?

Yes, it is suitable for both residential and commercial applications, implying it can be used for exterior doors provided they are appropriately protected from severe weather if necessary.

Does the hinge come with screws?

The product description does not specify if screws are included; typically, mounting hardware like screws is purchased separately based on the application.

What is the main advantage of a parliament hinge?

Parliament hinges are designed to allow doors to open wider than standard hinges, which can be useful for clearing obstacles or maximizing access.

Is this hinge suitable for heavy doors?

The 75mm size provides robust support for standard to medium-weight doors. For very heavy doors, it's advisable to consult load-bearing specifications or use multiple hinges.

Troubleshooting

Hinge squeaks during operation

Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as WD-40 or silicone spray, to the hinge pin and joints.

Door does not open as wide as expected

Verify that the hinge is installed correctly and that there are no obstructions preventing the door from opening fully. Ensure the hinge is correctly seated on both the door and frame.

Hinge feels loose or wobbly

Check and tighten all mounting screws securely into the door and frame. If the holes are stripped, consider using wall anchors or larger screws.

Silver finish appears dull

Clean the hinge with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals.
