FAQs
What is the main benefit of a swing clear hinge?
A swing clear hinge allows the door to swing completely out of the doorway when fully opened, maximizing the clear passage width. This is particularly beneficial for accessibility.
Can this hinge be used on any door?
This specific hinge is designed for interior doors ranging from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick and requires a 1/4" radius corner cutout on the door and frame.
Does this hinge work for both left and right-handed doors?
Yes, the hinge is designed to be reversible. You can simply flip the hinge pin to accommodate either a left or right-handed door.
What is included with the hinge?
Each hinge comes with 6 matching screws for installation.
How do I clean the polished brass finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
What if my door has a square corner instead of a radius?
This hinge requires a 1/4" radius cutout. If your door has a square corner, you would need to modify the door and frame or select a hinge designed for square corners.
What is the radius size of this hinge?
This hinge features a 1/4" radius corner.
Troubleshooting
Door does not swing clear
Ensure the hinge pin is correctly oriented and fully seated. Verify the door thickness and radius cutouts match the hinge specifications.
Hinge squeaks
Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the hinge pin. Avoid over-lubrication.
Door is difficult to close
Check that the door is properly aligned within the frame and that no obstructions are present. Ensure all hinge screws are tightened evenly.

The screw holes may be stripped. Consider using slightly longer or wider screws, or wood filler if necessary.
