FAQs
What material are these hinges made of?
The hinges are constructed from electro brass plated steel, offering durability and a decorative finish.
Are these hinges suitable for heavy doors?
No, these hinges are specifically designed for lightweight applications such as small cabinets, boxes, and decorative flaps. They are not intended for heavy doors.
How many hinges are included in a set?
Each set includes a pair of hinges, meaning two individual hinges.
Do I need to purchase screws separately?
No, each pair of hinges comes with 12 matching screws for installation.
What are the dimensions of the hinge?
The hinge measures 100mm in length and 38mm in width, with a narrow end width of 32mm.
Can these hinges be used outdoors?
While the electro brass plating offers some protection, they are primarily intended for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may affect the finish over time.
How should I clean the gold finish?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that can damage the plating.
Troubleshooting
Hinge squeaks during operation
Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as silicone spray or a light machine oil, to the hinge pin. Work the hinge back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Flap does not close properly
Check that the hinges are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the flap from closing fully. Verify the flap itself is not warped.
Screws do not seem to hold firmly
Ensure you are using the correct screw size for the material. For softer woods, consider using pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter. If the material is excessively soft or worn, consider using anchors or a stronger adhesive.
Gold finish appears dull or discolored
Gently clean the hinge with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the hinge is completely dried after cleaning.
