FAQs

What material are the SolaDirect Backflap Hinges made of?

The hinges are made of high-quality steel with a galvanised finish for enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion.

Can these hinges be used outdoors?

Yes, they are designed to withstand all weather conditions and ultraviolet radiation, making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.

What is the mounting hole diameter?

The mounting hole diameter is 6 mm.

Are screws included with the hinges?

Screws are not included. You will need to select appropriate screws based on the material you are mounting the hinge to.

How much weight can these hinges support?

The hinges are designed to hold even heavy wings. However, for extremely heavy applications, it's recommended to use multiple hinges or reinforce the mounting points.

How do I maintain the hinges?

Clean with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically inspect for wear and lubricate the pin if movement becomes stiff.

What is the thickness of the hinge material?

The thickness of the hinge material is 2 mm.

Troubleshooting

Hinge squeaks or is stiff

Apply a small amount of light oil or lubricant to the pin and pivot point. Work the hinge back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Door or gate is not hanging straight

Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened. Ensure the hinge is correctly aligned and that the frame or door is not warped.

Hinge appears to be rusting

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments may eventually show signs of surface rust. Clean with a soft brush and apply a rust inhibitor or clear coat suitable for metal if necessary.

Mounting holes do not align with existing holes

This hinge has a 6 mm mounting hole diameter. You may need to drill new pilot holes if the existing ones do not match or are damaged. Ensure you are using the correct hinge size for your application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Determine Placement: Position the hinge on the door and frame where it will provide the most stable support. Ensure alignment.
Mark Holes: Use a pencil to mark the mounting hole locations on both surfaces.
Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes using a drill bit suitable for the mounting screws. The hinge mounting hole diameter is 6 mm.
Attach Hinge: Secure the hinge using appropriate screws (not included) that are compatible with your material (wood, metal, etc.).
Test Movement: Open and close the door or gate to ensure smooth operation.

Compatibility:

These hinges are designed for use with doors, gates, and cabinets. They are compatible with wood, metal, and composite materials.
Ensure your mounting screws match the material you are attaching the hinge to.

Care:

Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
For outdoor use, occasional inspection for any signs of wear or damage is recommended.
Lubricate the pin periodically if the hinge becomes stiff, using a light oil.
