Full details
This 3.5-inch Swing Clear Offset Door Hinge in Vintage Bronze is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking to maximize doorway accessibility for doors 1-3/8 in. to 1-3/4 in. thick. Its primary benefit is creating a barrier-free opening by allowing the door to swing completely clear of the frame, enhancing usability. A minor consideration is the specific radius size, ensuring it matches existing hinge mortises.

FAQs
What door thickness does this hinge support?
This hinge is designed for doors that are between 1-3/8 inches and 1-3/4 inches thick.
Can this hinge be used on both left and right-hand doors?
Yes, the hinge pin can simply be flipped to accommodate both left-handed and right-handed doors.
What is the radius of the corner on this hinge?
This specific hinge has a 1/4" radius on its corners.
Does the hinge come with screws?
Yes, each hinge comes with six matching screws for installation.
How do I clean the Vintage Bronze finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes to preserve the finish.
What happens if my door mortise has a different radius?
If your existing mortise has a different radius (e.g., 5/8"), you may need to carefully adjust the mortise to fit the 1/4" radius hinge, or consider a hinge with a radius that matches your existing setup.
Troubleshooting
Door does not swing clear
Verify that the hinge is installed correctly and oriented for the correct door handing. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from opening to 90 degrees.
Hinge squeaks
Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as WD-40 or silicone spray, to the hinge pin.
Door is difficult to open or close
Check that the door thickness is within the specified range and that the hinge is properly seated. Ensure all screws are tightened evenly.
Hinge does not fit the mortise
Confirm the hinge radius (1/4") matches the mortise on your door and frame. If not, the mortise may need to be adjusted, or a hinge with a different radius may be required.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Easy to install on both left and right-handed doors.
- Accommodates a common range of door thicknesses.

Cons
- Requires specific door thickness range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your door is between 1-3/8 inches and 1-3/4 inches thick.
- Determine if the door is left or right-handed. The hinge pin can be flipped to accommodate either.
- Align the hinge with the existing mortise on the door and frame. If no mortise exists, one will need to be carefully cut.
- Secure the hinge using the provided six matching screws. Ensure all screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
Compatibility:
- This hinge is compatible with standard doors within the specified thickness range.
- The 1/4" radius is a specific measurement; ensure it matches the cut on your door jamb and door for a clean installation. If your current hinges have a different radius (e.g., 5/8"), you may need to adjust the mortise.
Care:
- Clean the Vintage Bronze finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as they can damage the finish.
- Periodically check that screws remain tight and the hinge operates smoothly.
