Unifix Stormproof Hinge - 63mm - Silver

No, screws are not included. You will need to provide your own suitable screws or bolts for mounting.

BZP stands for Bright Zinc Plating. It is a common electroplated coating that provides a sacrificial layer of zinc to protect the base metal from corrosion, giving it a bright, silvery appearance.

Yes, they can be used for internal doors, but they are specifically designed and recommended for outdoor applications due to their enhanced weather resistance.

The product information does not specify a precise weight capacity. However, the 63mm size and robust construction are suitable for standard garden gates and moderate-weight doors.

For standard doors and gates, two or three hinges are typically recommended, depending on the size, weight, and intended use. This box contains 10 hinges, allowing for multiple installations.

To maintain the BZP finish, wipe the hinges with a damp cloth periodically and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For extreme environments, a periodic application of clear metal sealant can offer additional protection.

Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., silicone spray, graphite powder) to the hinge pin. Ensure the hinge is clean before applying lubricant.

Check that the door/gate and frame are properly aligned and that the hinges are mounted securely and straight. Adjust positioning if necessary.

Although BZP plated, extreme conditions can affect the finish over time. Clean the affected area gently and apply a suitable metal protectant or paint designed for exterior use.

Ensure you are using screws of adequate length and diameter for the material you are mounting to. For softer materials, consider using anchors or pre-drilling appropriately sized pilot holes.
