FAQs

What is the maximum lid length and width the hinges can support?

The maximum lid length is 130 cm, and the maximum lid width is 65 cm.

What is the minimum interior depth required for the hinges?

The minimum interior depth required is 23 cm.

Can I use these hinges for a heavy lid?

Yes, you can choose from different weight capacities (80N, 100N, 150N, 200N). Using two hinges will double the bearing capacity.

Are the hinges suitable for outdoor use?

While the hinges are made with corrosion-resistant materials, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions could affect their performance. Consider protecting the hinges with a sealant for outdoor applications.

How do I install the hinges?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring correct alignment and screw tightness. Refer to the 'Setup' section of this guide for a general overview.

What if the lid is too heavy for the hinges?

If the lid is too heavy, consider replacing the hinges with a higher weight capacity option or using two hinges for added support.

Can the hinges be mounted on either side?

Yes, the hinges are designed for both right and left-hand mounting.

Troubleshooting

Lid slams shut.

Check if the lid weight exceeds the hinge's capacity. If it does, consider using hinges with a higher weight rating. Ensure correct hinge installation and alignment.

Lid doesn't stay open.

Check if the lid is opening beyond 70 degrees. Also, verify that the lid's weight is within the hinge's specified capacity. Ensure the hinges are correctly installed and that the gas strut is functioning properly.

Hinges are difficult to open or close.

Ensure hinges are properly lubricated. If the lid is too heavy, consider upgrading to higher-rated hinges. Check for any obstructions or misalignment.

Rust or corrosion on the hinges.

Clean and dry the hinges regularly. Apply a rust-preventative lubricant if necessary. Replace the hinges if the corrosion is severe and impacts function.
