FAQs

What size wheelie bins do these hinge pins fit?

These hinge pins are designed to fit standard UK 240-litre wheelie bins.

How many hinge pins are in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 plastic hinge pins.

Do I need any tools to install the hinge pins?

No, the hinge pins are designed as a simple 'push-to-fit' solution and do not require tools for installation.

What material are the hinge pins made from?

The hinge pins are made from a hard-wearing, tough plastic designed for durability and weather resistance.

Can I use these pins on wheelie bins from different manufacturers?

While designed for standard 240-litre UK bins, compatibility with specific non-standard designs or bins from all manufacturers is not guaranteed. They are intended as a like-for-like replacement for common hinge types.

What should I do if the pin is difficult to push in?

Ensure the holes are clear of debris. If it's still difficult, double-check that you have the correct pin for your bin size and type. Forcing the pin could damage it or the bin.

How long will these plastic pins last?

The pins are made from tough, hard-wearing plastic intended to withstand regular use and typical weather conditions, offering a durable repair.

Troubleshooting

Hinge pin does not fit

Ensure the pin is aligned correctly with the hinge holes. Verify that your wheelie bin is a standard 240-litre model, as these pins are designed for that specific size. If the holes on your bin seem non-standard, the pin may not be compatible.

Hinge pin feels loose after installation

Ensure the pin was pushed in completely. If it remains loose, there might be wear on the bin's hinge points. For a tighter fit, you could try a small amount of adhesive suitable for plastic, or consider if a slightly larger aftermarket pin is available for your specific bin model.

Bin lid still does not close properly

Check if both sides of the hinge have been repaired, if applicable. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the lid from closing. The issue may lie with the lid itself or other parts of the bin, not just the hinge pin.
