Product Information

Full details

This Loops 2x 160 x 32mm Concealed Heavy Duty Hinge in Bronze is designed for homeowners and builders seeking robust and discreet door hardware for unrebated doors. Its key benefit is providing strong support while maintaining a clean aesthetic due to its concealed nature. A caveat to consider is that this pack contains two hinges, and they are specifically for doors that do not have a rebate.

FAQs

What does 'unrebated doors' mean?

Unrebated doors are doors that have a straight edge and meet the door frame directly without any overlap or groove. The hinge must sit flush within the door and frame.

Does this pack include screws?

The product description does not specify if screws are included. It is recommended to use appropriate screws suitable for your door and frame material, typically wood screws.

Can I use these hinges on a rebated door?

No, these hinges are specifically designed for unrebated doors and will not function correctly or provide a flush fit on a rebated door.

How do I clean the bronze finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Are these hinges suitable for external doors?

While the brass plating offers some corrosion resistance, these hinges are primarily designed for internal doors. For external applications, consider hinges specifically rated for outdoor use.

What is the weight capacity of these hinges?

The 'Heavy Duty' designation suggests they can support substantial weight, but specific weight ratings are not provided. Consult with a professional if installing on very heavy doors.

Troubleshooting

Door does not close properly or scrapes

Ensure hinges are correctly mortised and aligned. Check for any obstructions or warping in the door or frame. Verify that the correct type of door (unrebated) is being used.

Hinge squeaks during operation

Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or light machine oil) to the hinge pin and joints. Avoid over-lubrication.

Loose hinges or instability

Check that all mounting screws are securely tightened. If screws do not hold, the mortise may be too large, requiring repair or a shim.

Finish tarnishing or discoloration

Clean the hinges with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution, then dry thoroughly. Avoid contact with moisture and harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a seamless appearance by being hidden when the door is closed.
  • Heavy-duty construction ensures long-lasting performance and support.
  • The brass-plated bronze finish complements various interior styles.
  • Suitable for specific door types (unrebated) without complex modifications.
  • Sold in a pack of two, offering a complete solution for one door.

Cons

  • Only suitable for unrebated doors, limiting application options.
  • Concealed nature means they require precise mortising for installation.
  • Brass plating can be susceptible to tarnishing over time if not maintained.
  • The dimensions may be larger than standard hinges, requiring specific door cutout sizes.
  • Priced as a pack of two, which might be more than needed for single hinge replacements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires precise mortising into both the door and the frame to accommodate the hinge leaves. Ensure the door and frame are prepared for unrebated doors. The hinges should be mounted securely with appropriate screws (not included).

Compatibility: These hinges are designed exclusively for unrebated doors. They are not suitable for rebated doors where a groove is present on the door edge. The 160mm x 32mm size may require specific cutout dimensions, so verify compatibility with your door and frame specifications before purchase.

Care: To maintain the brass-plated bronze finish, clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plating. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough drying. Regular dusting will help prevent buildup and preserve the finish.
