FAQs
What is the primary benefit of a concealed hinge?
The primary benefit is an aesthetically clean look, as the hinge mechanism is hidden when the door is closed, providing a seamless appearance.
Are these hinges suitable for exterior doors?
No, these hinges are designed specifically for internal doors. They are not weather-resistant or rated for the security and load requirements of exterior doors.
How do I adjust the door alignment?
Each hinge typically has adjustment screws. By carefully turning these screws, you can move the door slightly horizontally or vertically to achieve perfect alignment with the frame.
What is the finish of these hinges?
The finish is brass plated, offering a classic look and decent resistance to corrosion for internal use.
What are the dimensions of each hinge?
Each hinge measures 100mm in length and 22mm in width.
Can I buy these in bulk?
The product description mentions that bespoke packages are available for bulk orders or specific needs. Please contact the supplier directly for a quote.
What type of screws should I use?
The product information does not specify the exact screw type. You should use appropriate wood screws that are strong enough to secure the hinge to both the door and the frame, typically of a length that allows for good purchase without passing through the material.
Troubleshooting
Door is not hanging straight after installation.
Use the adjustment screws on the hinge mechanism. Consult the hinge's specific adjustment guide for detailed instructions on rotating the screws to move the door horizontally or vertically.
Hinge squeaks during operation.
Ensure the hinge is clean and free of debris. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points if necessary. Avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
Door is difficult to close or rubs against the frame.
Check that the hinge is correctly seated in its mortise. Re-adjust the hinge using the adjustment screws to improve clearance. Ensure no obstructions are present.
Screws do not seem to hold the hinge firmly.
Ensure you are using screws of the correct size and type for the material of the door and frame. If the wood is soft or worn, consider using wood filler or a slightly larger screw if appropriate.
