The Timco Rising Butt Hinge is an ideal hardware solution for homeowners and professionals seeking a functional way to clear uneven flooring or deep pile carpets. Designed with a unique spiral knuckle that automatically lifts the door as it swings open, it provides a practical self-closing mechanism for internal doors or toilet cubicles. While highly effective for door clearance, the hinge is primarily suited for internal or sheltered use and requires precise alignment during installation to ensure smooth operation.

These hinges are intended for internal or sheltered environments and are not designed for the heavy duty or weather resistance required by external security doors.
This specific model is sized at 75 x 72mm, providing a standard footprint for most common internal residential doors.
The spiral mechanism is direction-specific. Installing a left-handed hinge on a right-handed door will prevent the door from rising properly.
No, because the hinge features a non-fixed knuckle design, you can simply lift the door upwards to clear the pin.
The self-closing force is determined by the weight of the door and the pitch of the spiral; it is not adjustable like a spring-loaded closer.
Check that the hinge has been installed in the correct orientation; ensure the hinge knuckle is not obstructed by paint or debris.
Verify that the door frame is plumb and level. If the door frame leans toward the hinge side, the door may not rise enough to clear the floor.
Clean any debris from the spiral knuckle and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts.
Proper installation is vital for the spiral mechanism to function correctly. Ensure your door frame is plumb; if the frame is significantly out of alignment, the hinge may not rise or close as intended. When installing, use high-quality screws appropriate for the door material (wood) to ensure the hinge remains rigid under the lateral force generated by the lifting action.
Compatibility note: These hinges are sold in handed variants. Check your door's opening direction (left-hand or right-hand) before mounting. For maintenance, keep the hinge pin area clean and apply a small amount of light machine oil periodically to ensure the spiral movement remains smooth and silent.
