FAQs
Can these be used on heavy entrance doors?
These hinges are primarily intended for sheds, gates, and utility structures rather than high-traffic residential entrance doors.
Are the included fixings stainless steel?
The fixings are standard hardware designed for the Blooma hinge line; it is recommended to keep them dry to prevent surface oxidation.
Can I paint over the green finish?
Yes, if you wish to change the color, you can lightly sand the surface and apply a metal primer before using an exterior-grade paint.
How many hinges are in the pack?
Each pack contains two hinges.
What is the total length of the hinge?
The hinges measure 204mm in length.
Troubleshooting
Gate is sagging after installation
Ensure the hinge screws are fully tightened and check if the mounting post has rotted or loosened.
Hinge making squeaking noise
Apply a small amount of spray lubricant to the hinge pin to reduce friction.
Screws are stripping the wood
Remove the screw, fill the hole with wood filler or a dowel, let it cure, then re-drill a smaller pilot hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires a drill, pilot bits, and a screwdriver. 1. Align the hinge strap with the gate frame and the plate with the support post. 2. Mark the screw holes with a pencil. 3. Drill small pilot holes to prevent the timber from splitting. 4. Secure the hinge using the included fixings. For maintenance, it is recommended to periodically check the tightness of the screws, especially after seasonal temperature changes which can cause timber to expand or contract. If the hinges begin to creak, a light application of silicone-based lubricant to the knuckle will restore smooth movement.
