Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are screws included with these hinges?

No, fixings are not included. You will need to select screws that are appropriate for the material and thickness of your door.

What is the maximum door weight these hinges can handle?

These are designed for light-duty applications. For best results, use them on doors or gates between 600mm and 900mm in width.

Can I use these on exterior gates?

Yes, they are suitable for sheltered outdoor environments. They are not recommended for fully exposed areas without proper maintenance.

Do I need a third hinge?

A third hinge is recommended if the door or gate height exceeds 2130mm to prevent warping.

Are these hinges left or right handed?

They are non-handed, meaning they can be used for either left- or right-hand opening doors.

Troubleshooting

Door is sagging or not closing squarely

Check the level of your frame. If the door exceeds 2130mm, ensure a third hinge is installed to support the center.

Hinges are showing signs of surface rust

Clean with a mild detergent and dry thoroughly. For outdoor use, ensure the location is sheltered from direct rain and harsh weather.

Screws are stripping the wood

Ensure you are using the correct pilot drill bit size for your chosen screws. Avoid over-tightening with a high-torque power drill.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distributes weight efficiently across the door face
  • Versatile non-handed design for easy installation
  • Durable zinc plating for rust resistance
  • Classic aesthetic suitable for barn-style or shed doors

Cons

  • Fixings (screws) are not included
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty or exterior exposed gates
  • Requires three hinges for doors exceeding 2130mm to prevent warping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic hand tools including a drill, screwdriver, and a spirit level. Since these are non-handed, verify your desired swing direction before marking your holes.

  1. Ensure the door frame is level and plumb.
  2. Mark the hinge position on the door face and the frame.
  3. Pilot drill the holes to prevent the wood from splitting.
  4. Secure the hinges using screws suitable for your specific door material (wood, composite, etc.).

For ongoing care, keep the hinge pins free of debris. While the zinc plating offers corrosion resistance, periodic cleaning with a damp cloth in salt-air or high-humidity environments will help extend the lifespan of the finish.
