The TIMco 75 x 50mm Cranked Steel Butt Hinge is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable, fixed-pin solution for light-duty internal doors. These hinges offer a straightforward installation process and consistent operation, making them a staple for standard interior joinery. While they provide dependable performance for doors up to 20kg, users should note that the self-colour steel finish is best suited for dry, low-humidity environments to avoid potential corrosion.

No, these are designed for internal use only. The self-colour finish is not weather-resistant and will rust if exposed to outdoor conditions.
These hinges are rated for a maximum door weight of 20kg per set.
These hinges are designed to accommodate a 4.0mm screw gauge.
Yes, their design allows them to be used on both left-handed and right-handed door configurations.
Self-colour means the steel is provided in its raw, uncoated state without plating or painting, which is why it requires a dry environment.
Check if the screws are fully tightened. If the wood has stripped, use wood filler to plug the holes and reinstall the screws, or consider adding a third hinge to redistribute the weight.
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or light machine oil to the knuckle and pin area.
Gently remove the rust with fine-grade steel wool, clean the area, and apply a thin layer of protective oil or a metal sealant to prevent further corrosion.
To install these hinges, first ensure your door and frame are properly measured. Use a 4.0mm screw for secure mounting. Because the hinges feature a self-colour finish, it is recommended to apply a light coat of machine oil periodically to ensure smooth operation and keep the metal from drying out. Avoid installing these in bathrooms or damp areas where moisture levels fluctuate, as the unprotected steel may be prone to surface oxidation. Ensure the hinge is properly recessed so the door leaf remains flush with the frame for best results.
