FAQs
What door thickness does this hinge support?
This hinge is designed for doors ranging from 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick.
Can I use this hinge on any door, regardless of how it opens?
Yes, the hinge is reversible. You can simply flip the hinge pin to accommodate both left-handed and right-handed doors.
What does 'Swing Clear' mean?
A 'Swing Clear' hinge allows the door to swing completely away from the doorway, creating maximum clearance and removing the door from the opening when fully open.
What is the radius of this hinge?
This specific model has a 5/8" radius.
Does the hinge come with screws?
Yes, the hinge comes with 6 matching screws for installation.
How do I clean the black finish?
Wipe the hinge with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
What are the benefits of an offset hinge?
Offset hinges, like this swing clear model, reposition the hinge pivot point to allow for greater door clearance when the door is opened, particularly useful for accessibility.
Troubleshooting
Door is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Ensure the hinge pin is correctly oriented for the door's handedness. Check that all mounting screws are tightened securely. Verify the door is within the compatible thickness range and the radius matches the frame.
Hinge squeaks during operation.
Apply a small amount of light lubricant (like silicone spray or graphite powder) to the hinge pin. Wipe away any excess.
Door does not swing completely clear of the frame.
Confirm that the hinge is installed correctly as an offset hinge and that the 5/8" radius is appropriate for the frame. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the door's full swing.
